Was pretty friggin epic. One of Bob Marley's son's
bands opened for them which seemed kinda weird but they we're pretty
good i guess we didnt get to hear much of them. (my dad wearing the shirt he bought) Then after like a 20 minute break between the sets it
got all dark and eddie came out behind this tarp and played this intro
guitar solo thingy then the rest of the stage was revealed and they
opened on "you really got me" if my memory is correct. (Here you can sorta see the huge drape covering most of the stage...)
Basically they played every good song from the Roth
era. When they played dance the night away during one of the choruses
the band stopped playing and let the audience sing "daaance daaance
daance the niiight away" it was amazing although i wish they wouldve
done that on panama it wouldve been even better. Eddie had like a 20
minute guitar solo in which towards the middle to end he had some
technical difficulties but it was all good in like two minutes.
There
"final" song was "Ain't talkin' 'bout love" which was awesome then they
went off the stage for a few minutes and Dave came on with a giant red
flag and was swinging it around and walking around the stage and he
said something along the lines of "WE HAVE ONE MORE FOR YA!" then that
famous synth line to "jump" came on and everyone went crazy and
confetti started coming from the ceiling it was truly wonderful. (Here is a picture from when they were playing "jump" you can see all teh confetti it was awesome)
Awesome...I'm going to see that show, but it got delayed, so hopefully it doesn't get completely canceled. We have AWESOME seats...can't wait for the show.
