Fan Recaps and Comments:

This show included the first live performances of "Crazy Train" and "Celebration".

_______

The band kicked of the Join Us tour in style with a new LED light set-up, video projection, a couple of new songs, some new arrangements of old songs, and a new intro. Plus the guys looked snappy with Flans in a seersucker jacket (after Labor Day!) and Linnell in a striped polo. Full write-up to follow. --BlueCanary 11:08, 9 September 2011 (EDT)
