[kj] Opening Track

[Michael Garcia]

I was at those final 4 shows. The CDs don't do it justice. I have video I shot there. The vibe was unlike any concert  I've been to before. We all knew those were final shows and the crowd responded with such intensity that I was blown away. Heading back there in October for the 25th reunion shows. Wayne simon and Craig minus Mick though

Perhaps if they only released singles (instead of filler-choked albums), they'd have been looked upon now with more kindness.
