How were they? Words cannot convey how moving, and dynamic the music was and the performance was perfect, except for the stage lighting failing during the second song (posted below). I pulled out my phone and turned on the flashlight and lit the band. I was right against the stage as you can see in my photos. Shortly after I did that several other people in the audience did the same and the band continued without missing a lick. Eventually the stage lighting came back on. Due to my good deed I was gifted a pair of signature lighted green glasses by the band as a reward I guess.

In short - Best musical experience of my life.

The young girl below knew all the words to every single song. Amazing! Cool glasses eh?

Doing well. Life is good. Got back into bicycle racing and had a very successful first season with several wins and two 2nds. Second in my category in the Wyoming Hill Climb Championships and second at the East Idaho Senior Games criterium. Sadly I'm only playing at home...for now. Eventually I'll get back to gigging.
