THE NIGHT STARTED OFF WITH TESLA AND MY ONLY WISH IS THEY COULD HAVE PLAYED LONGER BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS INTO THE VETERAN ROCKERS FROM SACRAMENTO.

THIS IS THE SETLIST FROM TESLA:

Edison’s Medicine (Man Out of Time)

Hang Tough

Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)

Signs

Love Song

Little Suzi

Modern Day Cowboy

HERE’S A VIDEO OF THE SONG THAT BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN (OFFICIAL TESLA VIDEO)

The Grand Illusion

Too Much Time on My Hands
