The former Generation X lead singer did not disappoint, giving fans fiery versions of his unique blend of hard rock, punk and new wave.. with just a touch of crooning for good measure!
New Zealand singer-songwriter Kelsey Karter opened the show and accidentally injured herself as she ran around on the stage. But she soldiered on while favoring her injured ankle to finish her set.
Then it was time for the star of the show. The band walked onstage and launched right into the massive Generation X hit that sent Billy into the stratosphere, “Dancing With Myself”!
Longtime guitarist Steve Stevens was on fire all night long; wowing fans with his guitar pyrotechnics before putting his fretwork prowess on display during his guitar solo (which included quotes from Led Zeppelin’s “Over the Hills & Far Away” and “Stairway to Heaven”!)
Idol’s current band, which includes guitarist Billy Morrison, bassist Stephen McGrath, drummer Erik Eldenius and keyboarist/guitarist Paul Trudeau, were tight as a drum and delivering smoking versions of every song!
