Review:
After bassist Bobby Sheehan passed and they added two more band members, I was eager to see the new lineup, and the show delivered. Review from the time:
The boys came out all wearing hats – Chan and his brother had FBI on the front of theirs, the others had CIA. John said how long it had been since they were last here, and that D.C. was f**ked up then and it still is now. For the second set, they brought one of Ben’s keyboards and a smaller drum set for Brandon. John said they were working on a nickname for Ben – they kinda liked “pudding pants”, but thought maybe “scooter box” or “fistful of nuts” would be better. The second set started acoustic through most of “You Lost Me There”, at which point John and Tad stood up and played while the roadies removed the gear and everyone resumed their positions. During the “Crash Burn” round robin, Ben played during the bass part on the second round. For the encore, John introduced the band, including Ben “crack in the ass” Wilson and Chan “lord of the dance” Kinchla.
