Notes:

Yes, I know this is practically a tribute band with Mick Jones no longer
participating at all of their gigs. Its a bummer, for sure. BUT! They STILL
put on a great show. I recall seeing them in 2015 w/ Def Leppard and thoroughly
enjoyed their 60 min set. That set was all killer, no filler. While this show
(still great) featured almost the same set (plus a couple songs), there was way
too much filler. The band intros do not need to be 10 minutes long and there is
no need for a 6 minute intro track leading into IWTKWLI. I think the world of
Kelly Hansen for his vocal ability (especially at age 60) and hes a tremendous
performer, but, parts of the show I often wondered if he just enjoyed listening
to himself ramble. Some of it was funny but for the most part he needs to wrap
it up and move along. They could have easily fit in 3 or 4 more songs if he
could cut the banter down. I also didnt really enjoy the drum/keyboard solo,
either, but I understand most of the band use that as a break. Outside of those
gripes, this was a fun show and the band was firing on all cylinders. Everyone
around me was happy to be back at a live concert under the stars on what you
would call weather wise - a perfect night. I was 10 rows back right stack and
the sound (while a tad bass heavy) was good. I usually sit 2 or 3 rows back
in the ORCH sections (directly behind PLAZA), but I bought this ticket late
and was the best I could find. I ended up having no one to my left (no one came)
and I was sitting on an aisle to my right. The ORCH section behind me were
across a walkway, so I had literally no one next to me, which was great for
the recording. I had an usher to my right all night, but she didnt seem to care
what I was up to with wires coming out of my hat down my neck into my shirt.

Turn this up and feel free to skip to the next track when Kelly talks.
