***** REVIEW
When a musician or band, having achieved international fame and acclaim, returns to the home of their birth, magic happens. Previous notable examples include Heart (Seattle), Miami Sound Machine (Miami), Lynerd Skynerd (Jacksonville), Bon Jovi (anywhere in New Jersey). Not to mention that he brought along his "little sister" Stevie Nicks to sing backing vocals, and a few lead vocals, too. The crowd sang along all night. The band was in top form. A grand time was had by all present. They played until they simply ran out of time. A worthy addition to any rock fan's catalog.
