It's always a treat to see and hear this great, all-too-unrecognized classic band. In the midst of a battle against cancer, Mike Peters and his musical teammates tour through a motherlode of material from the band's new album, Under Attack. In fact, the band launched almost without pause through 7 great-sounding songs from the new album before they even touched a hit from the back catalog -- "Spirit Of 76," which became a medley of sorts with "45 RPM" wedged in the middle before Peters crooned about "mercy lights shine in the distance..." The crowd was all over this set, recycling and building the energy flowing from the stage. The band encored with "68 Guns" and "Blaze of Glory," punctuating a heartfelt and truly great rock and roll show. The fact that it was so fast, furious, and good about made up for the lack of all the hits that were left out.
