This was my first rock concert. I loved it. Mountain was better than I had expected them to be. Then when Satch came out and started with the I Just Wanna Rock riff, I went crazy. He totally rocked the whole time. And Stu Hamm's bass solo was really awesome. All in all, it was the most incredible thing I've ever seen.

This was my 5th time seeing Joe.....awesome as always!! I got into Mountain more than I thought I would. Everyone playing together at the end was ROCKIN'. I loved the energy that Joe had, you could tell that he was really having a great time. Stu's bass solo was mind blowing! I could listen to him for an hour or 2!! It was an overall great show.

Unless I've lost count, this was the fifth time I've seen Joe, either solo or in a G3 setting, and it was his usual great show. "Time Machine" was a nice addition to his staple songs, but that seems to be something Joe can be counted on for: adding something unexpected. When I saw him several years ago, he played "Hordes of Locusts" from his debut. "Ghosts" also was very good and a nice surprise. Mountain was better than I expected (admittedly I went in with low expectations), but I could have done without Leslie West's four-letter words. I had my 8-year-old son with me (he's a huge Joe fan and it was his second show), and there were other children roughly my son's age in the theater (including two who were right behind us). It was great to see Stu Hamm back with the band, and Galen Henson was very good. I think it was the first time I could actually hear his playing other than the acoustic intro to "Flying in a Blue Dream." Joe never disappoints, and I'll see him again when he comes back around. Joe, just one request: If you're going to dust off something old, how about "Driving at Night"?

Great Show! I wasn't that impressed with Mountain at first. They took a while to get going but were decent from Crossroads on. Joe was amazing. I've seen him three times and they've all been great. My only complaint with his sound was that the stuff he played in the lower registers got a bit lost in the mix. I agree with the comments about Galen, he played his heart out. I would've liked to have seen him get a solo chance on the jam songs at the end. This was my first Stu show and that was spectacular. He seemed to be all over the stage and having a great time jamming away. The whole band seemed really into the show and it was a wonderful atmosphere. I only wish they could've kept playing...

What a great show. Joe was right on every note and he really seemed like he was totally enjoying the night. Mountain was fun to watch - Corky, the Dr., and Leslie (Mountain) were having a great time. The sound wasn't the greatest but they picked things up after the first couple of songs and ended big. I have been to 4 of Joe's show and by far this was the best. It is really great to watch a musician that really enjoys what he does. The fans were great and the set list was right on. Joe's got so many good songs but he can only play so many a night. Stu(wowww), Jeff, and Galan were so tight with Joe. Poor Galan is back there playing his brains out but seems unnoticed. Galen, you were great. I will be looking forward to Joe coming to town again,

Caution - watch out for flying sticks!! I
