This show has to be my all time favorite. All the guys were in a really happy, playful, relaxed mood.
The night started out with Dino coming on stage and sound checking all the mics. He walked up to the center mic and said "Hello, my name is Marty Casey but shorter and 50 lbs heavier...and I dyed my hair black". He then went to the right side mic and said "I'm Billy, except I have black hair". And then to his own mic. He was very cute and funny.
The band was announced and no one came on stage. After about a minute Billy walked on stage alone. He started playing the Star Spangled Banner and still no one showed up. So he played the entire song. It was actually really, really cool. We later learned the guys were playing a joke on him
The show was alot of fun. There was a train station and Marty sang to the folks getting off the train and then waved as the train left the station.
The guys were really laughing and joking around all evening. Dino at one point broke out into singing Every Rose has its Thorns. And then at another point Dino, Cousin Bill, and Marty left the stage. I think that Bobby was going to leave like they did at the Marseilles show. But Billy walked off and left Bobby to do a drum solo. It was really awesome!!!!! Billy kept playing in the background. It was really terrific. Other than the intro to Ultrasound, I had never seen Bobby do a real drum solo.
And then there was the orange bucket.
Marty: "Billy - really. I am telling you orange buckets are a real babe magnet".
Marty: "I told you so"
I saw someone writing the setlist, so I will leave it to someone else to post that. They did close with Baba OReilly and did a fab job on that. Oh and Mr. Casey showed up with a new hat.
After the show all the guys hung out with the fans beside the stage. This show was more like being at a party with a bunch of friends. I got to talk with Marty and Billy for a while and Billy actually played a funny joke on me. Very cute. I love Marty Casey music. I love LH music. And i really love to see these guys together enjoying their music and having fun. I will remember that show for a very long time

Hilarious!! And the pranks these guys play on each other......priceless! It's really cool to hear that these guys still have fun with each other AND appreciate all the fans that come out to see them live! 
Great pics, too!
The guys all seemed in fine spirit, almost like they were spoiling for a good joke here and there - and Marty singing to the folks on the train and getting off the train with them all geeking at him was very fun. Aw man, no "train" smilies !!!!
but was far more respectful to it. Maybe that's not so hard to understand considering the Hendrix version being a product of the rather turbulent 60's - but, I give my vote to Billy on this one. A nice 
to Billy for a job well done !!!

GREAT PICS!!! 
Lots of jokes and pranks onstage--Dino's soundcheck on the mics was hilarious. At Marty's mic--"Hi, I'm Marty, except I gained 50 pounds, shrank several inches, dyed my hair black, and forgot how to sing." At Billy's mic--"Hi, I'm Billy, except I grew a couple inches, dyed my hair black, and forgot how to play guitar." At his own mic--"Hi, I'm Dino, and I look just like this." Someone called out for him to do one for Bobby, but he just shook his head like "soooo not goin' there!" ;D
