When a show like this is offered to me there is no way I can pass it up. I'm so glad I made the decision to attend, as they did a great job in bringing back special memories about those great times back in the day. They're such fan friendly guys that it makes all the difference. Most of the tracks had a bit of space to breathe as they were transported to a new era. It was magical how they did this without improvising too far away from the original versions, just like they used to. Nothing was lost there at all, but much gained, actually. If I could change one thing, it would be the opportunity to see them perform the next night with The Hit Machine (also from Portland) which I had but could not make. Still, I take away a much more relaxed memory from what I did witness, and I would not trade that for anything. In fact, I have to thank them for it, because it was one for the record books. This really was simply one of the greatest nights of music and atmosphere I've ever spent, and I will never forget it.
