Well....I went, and for $15 bucks, I can't bitch. It was freezing cold with the wind bucking every move, and just imagine, I didn't even wanna go. I much rather have slept my migrane off (which I ended up doing). Anyways...I digress...
A warm up band came out and actually blew me away. Too bad I didn't remember who the hell they were. Then some waste of space band came on, then George Lynch and the Lynch Mob. They opened up with Unchain the Night. I was right up front and off to the left. I think I must of been one of the few chicks there. They did like 6 songs. Tooth and Nail, Mr. Scary which I gotta say KICKED ASS. Lynch did this special thing (not being a guitar entrepreneur, I had to ask den what it was called, he said a gothic octave) I loved it! Lynch complained that while Malmsteen got a overload of rehersal time, he didn't get any. Well, the sound was off for the first few tunes until they fixed it all up. He had his dokken guitars out, the orange and black one, and the skull one. I enjoyed him.
Then we had to wait what seemed like another year passing for Malmsteen. Since I knew minimal on him, he seemed for me a bit TOO loud. He came out all in his glory. I wanted to see Rudy Sarzo play (why do the dudes seem larger than life until you actually SEE them?). He did some excellent bass work, of course. Malmsteen did Rising Force, which was a given. Then some classical stuff, and I don't know what all as towards the end, I left. My ears felt like they were going to bleed, and I had to get up to go to work the next morning.
I am sure others will have their take on it, but that is mine all in a nut shell.
