O.K. this time it actually worked. The band was as tight as a clam,
Schenker's solos were literally "dead on", the vocals were actually
in range but still a little lacking on the Bonnet and Barden tunes
(not enough power) and Amy's solo on Arachnophobioa and Rock Bottom
were worth the price of admission alone. They went on at 8:45pm and
encored at 10:05pm. The entire band especially the keyboards all
sounded like they spent the last year rehearsing together. Michael
actually smiled when Amy was soloing during Arachnaphobia which was
GREAT to see!!! This is a MAJOR change since the last tour. The band
not only seems to care more but they also look like they are having
fun playing the set while being more serious at the same time. This
being the first night on the tour made me believe that by the time
they get back east they will be as seasoned as a Thanksgiving turkey
with all the speacial trimmings!!!!!! The Tuetonic Attack is finally
back!!!!!

My brother was at the show and this is his review (he typed it, not me):
Set List (not nec. in this order, but close):
Are You Ready 2 Rock
Natural Thing
Assault Attack
? (Something off Be Aware of Scorpions)
3 Tunes w/his biotch, who can actually play guitar & sing
Arachnaphobiac
Lights Out
Let it Roll (complete w/feedback at the beginning, just like the original)
Armed & Ready
Doctor Doctor
Into the Arena
On and On
Too Hot To Handle
Encore: Attack of the Mad Axeman, Rock Bottom
He didnt't play anything off Built to Destroy, although people were constantly yelling Nemo!
He played a black Gibson V w/white pickguard & headstock throughout the show. I don't even think that he stopped to tune between songs. He had 2 Marshall full stacks, but the LED's were only on one of them. He seemed happy, smiled a bit, moved around, and sang backing vocals on Dr. Dr., Too Hot to Handle & Lights Out. He even let his biotch play part of the Rock Bottom solo.
The bass player is a freaky tattoo demon. He played 2 P-basses, covered w/decals. The last one was a 5-string.
Rhythm guitar was inaudible, although the dude who played also did keys quite well.
Vocalist did pretty well.
Opener was Lonero, who plays an EVH MusicMan, but his style & looks are oh so Satch, down to the jeans, long sleeve t-shirt & beanie. Bass player is that dude from the local cable show Eye2Eye.
Overall, a great show, and he virtually played note-for-note, adding a bit more wahwah to a few tunes, like the end of On and On. But there were no t-shirts or other merchandise sold, just 2 empty tables in the back. Not a great turnout either, which is surprising. There were way more people at Y&T 2 years ago. I guess everyone recalls Schenker's past antics of either canceling shows or leaving in the middle.
There you go!
