Costa Mesa : Brilliant!
Great show tonight...perfect mix, I was about thirty rows back, pretty safe set list but at least there's three new songs, sad no Above and Beyond. Band is firing on all cylinders I was right in front of the drum kit. Amazing Don Airey solo, Steve was on it, Ian in good voice , great vibes and show. Can't wait for Saratoga winery show, it's during Monterey car week so I'm in the area and have a great seat! Funny seeing band members with sunglasses for the first time, last time was Steve Morse in 2011, thankfully gone, now big Ian had them for part of the show.

Re: Costa Mesa : Brilliant!
Yes full house and I believe sold out. Not one empty seat I saw. Fake Skynyrd tonight is sold out at the same venue . Boc had Kasim Sulton on bass from Utopia, they actually went into a medley of bands he's been in. How many sidemen get that? Last time here in 07 they had Rudy Sarzo- usually I'm a fan but he was horrible in BoC. Totally inappropriate to move all over the stage in this band- now I know why Dubrow hated him and Ozzy made him stand in one place . Yngwie didn't allow it either .

So around 8500..? That's very impressive!

Yes, I didn't think they could fill sheds like those on their own (well, sort of) anymore in the US.

Re: Costa Mesa : Brilliant!

Re: Costa Mesa : Brilliant!
Question answered in the comments. Still a good figure.
"One thing, there’s no way Pac Amp holds 18,000 I think more like 8,000"
