Very close to the best concert I have seen since I saw them 22 years ago in Colorado.
Old hippies can really play blues and rock and roll.
80 minutes or so of blues and 40 minutes of all out rock and roll. And even some of the band occassionally laughed at the ridiculous outbursts, as the back was all of 30 feet from the stage, and big mouth me was screaming at the top of my lungs, with Mike and the odd Japanese joining in the heckling on occassion. Also met Jorma close up and personal back stage on the way in. Unfortunately, the majority of the charge probably went not to the band, but to pay the rent in the high-priced district of Osaka where the show was. But to see Jack and Jorma jamming in such complexity and harmony was simply fucking amazing.
