Great reviews everyone! I thought that the dude with highlights looked like a Goo Goo Doll (Johnny R). lol I talked to him and his girlfriend for a bit, they were a cute couple. Thanks for the pic Jo! ;)In my opinion, the opening bands did a good job of getting the crowd ready... Here's a pic of Big Al & Jeremy.

Those of us who weren't at the concert were about to keel over waiting for news, but WOW y'all really came through with fantastic reviews and pictures. Thanks to everyone! I know it meant a lot to Marty to have some of his longtime fans there to support him.
Thanks again!!!

As soon as Marty started singing, it was obvious how ready for a change he had been. This was one of the new songs, called “The Sound”. His voice was clear and strong, filled with energy, excitement, and passion. I *REALLY* like this song! It is very deep and emotional. Then they launched into “No Mercy”, and Marty was in full-on Marty mode, totally doing his thing. He was not holding back at all, or being any different than his usual stage self. The stage lighting wasn’t very good, so there wasn’t enough OK, Marty fashion report for the show: He had his green leather jacket on during the first song, but it went off pretty quickly because it was so hot in there. He had on his black shirt/jacket with the red stripes around the arm and all the buttons on the front, over the white undershirt. He had red tape on his fingers, and had even put some red tape on his pant leg. He was wearing his black lace-up pants. He had a red and blue tie tied to the back belt loops. He had sneakers that looked like Chucks (couldn’t tell the brand for sure) that were red with black trim. He was wearing one of his “Trees” pendants, along with the 2 new necklaces I gave him after soundcheck. One is his Libra symbol, and the other has the letter “X” on it. Nancy - I teared up and smiled when you mentioned Marty looking so ready for a change..." and went into full tilt when I read that Marty was in his groove with No Mercy I am soooooooooooooo happy to hear, from you and everyone else, that the show had some kick ass and that Marty looked relaxed and happy!!!! to everyone who took the time to give us a flavor of the show. You all did a GREAT job!! I really do feel like I was there. Than you so much. Got to go now, I see my cats are fooling around with my XL roll of red tape. Dammit, now they have it stuck on their paws!! All this after I told them they can't go to Puerto Rico with the grrrrrr I wanted to keep this short, but hey I also have to give proper props to HY, Angie, stephd, jomarti, and JS - you girls I really had fun reading and

Fantastic reviews and pics. Marty's Blog Sweet Blog O' Mine www.martycasey.org/blog/ confirms all of the comments. In June the focus was making the new CD. The tour is a work in progress and is only going to get better. Thanks everyone for sharing! Den

Who knew that industrial strength ear plugs could block out everything but the vocals. I'll definitely have to find those for next time - I just had some tissue in each ear. Some more pics. Big Al Jeremy And looking at the last pic, do Jeremy's fashion accessories remind you of anyone?

Thank you to everyone for the great reviews. I think it is terrific that soooo many people were able to make it to his first show to give him support I love the pics and look forward to seeing more. On Sunday as I was returning from Tampa, a tour bus with the small trailer on the back passed me headed in the direction. I thought...hmmm...I wonder.... Great job everyone

The party may still be going on. Should somebody check to make sure those girls aren't trying to stow away and go to Puerto Rico with the Marty? Let's see, a beautiful house exclusive for the band with private beach, free drinks and food for a whole week... no, that's not a bad deal I wanna go!! Great reviews and pics everyone. I'm so glad you all had a good time. You've all got me pumped for next month!
