The show was tight and fluent. The band was too large for the venue.....given the decibel level and magnitude of songs, they should be in arenas that hold 5,000 people or more. It was great to see the band genuinely happy after all those years of feuding. Songs that stood out included Woman From Tokyo, Rosas, WABC. They absolutely blitzed the house with Highway Star. Probably because Steve chose to play Ritchie's original masterpiece solo. Steve is a brilliant guitarist and had his moments on the _|_ numbers and on WABC. However, I don't think Ritchie has to worry of his legacy dissapearing anytime soon.
