It would have been great for the other tunes to have been on the list. I think this is the standard set minus those they do at the fests due to time it seems. It was still a great show and set that they did get to play. I hope they can come back to Metro or Double Door and do a full set like you listed. They did do Stranger at the New Lenox show. That was awesome to hear.CULater wrote:Okay, I thought I just posted a reply but it's not showing up so here goes again:

Gone Til November was played in there somewhere and because of time constraints Closer to the Stars and Just Like Anyone didn't get played. Benny made an appearance for the jam session on Stand Up and Be Strong and much to my disappointment the Black Star/Stranger encore was not to be! I would have absolutely loved to see those two songs performed - how great would that have been?! I imagine because it was a Sunday night they had to stop playing right at 10 PM.
All in all a great, high energy performance with a fun crowd! Ears are still ringing....
I know you mention that (possibly) the only people who know who Benny is are the people in the front row and anyone backstage, but you don't seem to know who he is from what I read. Benny works with the Management team, part of his job and getting the band gigs and making it all happen (you know, all the behind the scenes stuff?), so he is by no means a "roadie" as you mention.Rebel Yell5 wrote:Did anybody see the diva moment? Dave announced Benny to come out and play along on guitar during Stand Up And Be Strong, as he done with the band many times before. Honestly, those of us in the front row and the backstage folks are the only people who even know who Benny is.
Benny comes out and so did the younger guitar tech. Benny looks at the kid and says, "Why are you up here?" and the kid looks at him while playing and said, "Why not?" The kid never left either and kept playing. I just thought it was funny. Was this roadie hirearchy? Or was Benny being a diva about sharing the stage with another roadie? A little roadie envy perhaps?
While everything you did mention is correct, I just want to add that Benny isn't part of their management team anymore, just still real good friends.norma023 wrote:I know you mention that (possibly) the only people who know who Benny is are the people in the front row and anyone backstage, but you don't seem to know who he is from what I read.

You are welcome. And part of my post I was kidding no harm meant. The exchange between Benny and the kid helping out did happen, but I was aware that Benny was part of management at one time. Plus you didn't seem to know his current status either so that makes us in the same boat. Cheers!norma023 wrote:I know you mention that (possibly) the only people who know who Benny is are the people in the front row and anyone backstage, but you don't seem to know who he is from what I read.
