I was at this show as well. And though it was not the E Streeters and not necessarily the "rock-n-roll" genre...it was an awesome display of music and a man on a mission to entertain! That was a fun band to listen to and watch play...and I would go see that group of musicians again without a doubt!

"Kind of like coming to New Jersey while there's a Mafia convention going on," he says, "or the Polluter's Ball!" Mark Pender got a chance to shine tonight (as if he didn't every night), being from nearby Kansas City, with his mother in the crowd. Bruce made sure to point her out, and he threw "The Loveman" the solo in "When the Saints Go Marching In," a nice moment. No Patti again, and a similar set to the last show Concord, substituting "City of Ruins" for "Bring Them Home," and dropping "Froggie." What, no Des Moines kids got the memo about bringing a stuffed animal? Well, a plush pig wouldn't have quite the same effect anyway.[/FONT]
