This was an excellent show on a cold, snowy night. The weather probably affected the attendance but it did not diminish the enthusiasm of the crowd or the band. Kai mentioned that they had to get up at 4 A.M. to catch an early flight out of L.A. because their flight the day before had been cancelled due to the weather. The band had to be tired but they still gave 110% effort. They extended both Armageddon and Man On A Mission. They played Sweet Home Chicago during Armageddon, which was funny to hear in Kai's accent. I thought the new songs sounded great and they were well received by the crowd. Dirk played an acoustic flying V guitar and did part of the vocals on No Need To Cry. The band really looked like they were having fun and were very appreciative of the response from the small crowd.
