Oh, it sounds like Heidi might have some really good stories to tell.

OK, I'll try to give a summation of the evening. This could be a bit long - because it's stream of conciousness (or unconciousness ;D ;D ;D )

Several of us got to the venue early for a birthday party. The Lighthouse has tables set up for dinner. After dinner, around 7:30, they moved us all out so they could rearrange the area. After they let everyone sit back down, I was in a chair about 10 ft. from the stage. I tried to find a seat where I could get some good pics, and luckly I had a fairly clean line of site.

There were 5, yes 5, opening acts. None of them were bad (at least not as bad as that one at Roc Bar.), but the best of the bunch was Gary Factor and CatGut Tonic. They were so much fun. They have actually invented a drink called the Catgut tonic and gave us all shots of it to drink - not bad, either.

Finally, around 12:15, Marty and Bobby came on stage. I had been up since 4:00 am on Sat., so I was prying my eyes open most of the night - but that definitely woke me up.

You've seen the set list. Marty sang a couple of brand new songs, ones that are on his site, ones that he played last solo tour, ones from Rockstar and a couple of Lovehammers song. Velvet was a request from the audience, and he wasn't sure he could remember it - he even asked someone to give him the first lyric. ;D ;D

I absolutely love Black Majesty and My Kind of Wine. Still trying to remember the other brand new song. It was so new that Bobby hadn't ever done drums for it, and sat that song out.

Marty stood up at one point and went back by Bobby and must have tripped over something because he fell over the drum set and nearly landed on Bobby! It took a second for Bobby to push him back up.

Marty was interacting with the audience and called the birthday girl up on stage.

The show lasted almost 2 hours. And it was an awesome show. I had wanted to see Marty solo, and even though Bobby was there - it was still Marty's show.

AFter the show they announced that Bobby and Marty would come out by the merchandise table to sign things and say hello. I got hugs from both the guys and then went back to talk to some of the girls. Suddenly I hear someone say "Marty has my guitar." Marty and Bobby had borrowed instruments from another band and were sitting next to the table just jamming. They sang 3 songs before the bar started chasing everyone out.

Some people hung around much later - and they might have their own stories to tell.

Pics will come soon.

Thank you so much :-*HY! Sounds like it Fantastic!
Can't wait to see the pics~

As Lou said...........what happens at the Lighthouse stays at the Lighthouse

Seriously tho ...... this is 2nd time i've been there and Lou is the best!!!!!!! He just loves Marty and Marty loves Lou, so i'm sure Lou will push for another show down the road again. It would be great to see th LH"s there too but the stage is way small for everyone but who knows I enjoyed the bands that played and so appreciative that marty & bobby played as long as the did, what a treat. Especially hanging out and having fun with everyone afterwards. They are such genuine/sweet/nice guys some of the night is a little blurry and i blame that on catgut tonic shots and nick feeding me beer and my drunk ass lost the new lh shirt i bought that night too but all in all it was another great time w/friends and music!
