This show was EASILY the biggest surprise and best show I saw in 2017. I primarily wanted to go to see his amazing guitar player Steve Stevens who is so underrated and so good but I came away from this show TOTALLY blown away by the whole experience
Billy Idol is a MONSTER for a guy his age (in his 60's) he still in peak condition and still puts on an INCREDIBLE show. His backing band was amazing and once again if you ever get a chance to see Steve Stevens live - GO!
