While the Radio City Music Hall show was amazing in it's own right...as far as their performance goes, this was as electric as I've seen. The addition of the horn section was tremendous, and since Captain Kirk joined the band, I've always thought that he brings an impressive element to the band with his ability to sing.</p> <p>They were obviously filming the show and if this concert ever finds it's way to <span>DVD</span>, I'll be first in line to buy it. The highlight of the show, for me, was the band's version of Bob Dylan's "Masters Of War", which was (very appropriately) set to the tune of the Star Spangled Banner, and also mixed in elements of Jimi Hendrix's "Machine Gun" (not sure if he was the original artist, but that's the only version I've heard). Simply tremendous.</p> <p><img src="http://www2.mog.com/images/users/0000/0007/8724/images/1175983891.jpeg" /></p> Sat, 07 Apr 2007 22:11:41 GMT http://mog.com/olujosh/blog/60903 olujosh
