The stage was up on a small hill and at the bottom (about 50 feet) of the aforementioned "goofy fence" was the front row. The park was located right off the shore of one of the many lakes in the area.

About a minute before the end of the concert some guy runs up to Dave who was singing on the hill and starts to do Dave's Bittersweetheart hip-wiggle; the security got on him quick. At the end of the concert Dave just fell down and seemed to play dead for a minute.

This was probably the first concert I recall them not playing Stand Up and Be Strong at all (I know it got cut short a while back). While it did seem a little awkward not to hear it, Rhinestone Cowboy definitely made up for it.

Dave, Dan, and Tommy were hanging out back for a good half hour talking and signing autographs for everyone. Great time; past 2 outdoor concerts (this and New Lenox) have been a blast... great crowds, awesome atmosphere.

Yeah awesome show last night! I met you at the New lenox show, Jim.
Last night I was a few feet behind you in the center of that awkward stage. They seem to be leaving Sometime to Return off the set even though it has been on the last couple. It would be nice to hear that. I must admit what they played in its absence of that and Stand Up and Be Strong was even better! Rhinestone Cowboy and My Generation. Also they did at least half of Detroit Rock City by Kiss with Tommy do the lead vocals ala Paul Stanley and Dave singing back up ala Gene Simmons. It is nice that they are doing 2 more area shows in the next 2 weeks.
See You Later

Great clips, thanks, so nice to see them the next day.

Great Show! Awesome venue, sunset over the lake was beautiful (from the top of the zipper . Listening to Dave sing Silly Love Songs... surreal!) Really a great crowd. Fans, workers - everyone! Everyone in rare form. Tommy really stepping out! Kiss song very fun. They teased us with everything...Uber Computer, Black Beatty, Reggae.

"This one is for the misquitos" intro to Runaway train. Dave talking about shredding it on the acoustic guitar and hamming it up big time for Cowboy.

Best news of all .... Scot had the camera!
