The show was awesome just like the title of the concert. I had the opportunity to finally play a set of Ludwig Vistalites. This was a original set from the seventies. I had my tech slap a new set of heads on them and they sounded HUGE!!!!! I will definitely be playing these on tour soon!!!!

NIGHTRANGER was great. Pat is friends with the guys and he went out of his way to introduce myself and Rodney to the band. They were pleasant to hang with and they brought the house down!

Sioux City fans are fantastic! I look forward to coming back to rock again! Maybe next time I can get more sleep....yeah right!!!!
