A guy from Orlando that plays w/ Kurt, drummer named Matt Bloodwell.

Just a buddy of his who plays w/ him in Orlando on his day gigs (of which really is plenty). I saw two distant short videos and Kurt sounded really good and the drummer was solid.
I think Riley's wife was there and I think they wanted to do the show as a final send off. I'm working on having Kelly on my weekly radio show to see whats up with them now that this one show is over.

I was at the show. LA Guns sounded great.

They never did introduce the drummer....he was just a mystery player up on stage, but he sounded great. Thanks to the post above, now I know a name.

I was surprised they didn't play 'Nothin' Better To Do' with Kelly being in the band. But they did 3 of their newer songs: Crawl, Renegade and Dark Horse.

It appeared they were just running their merch out, as they only had random sizes of assorted shirts. I wanted to get one of the traditional logo shirts, but they only had small sizes of that one.

Vixen was HORRIBLE on Saturday. Its weird because they are usually consistently good, but they sounded awful. Bass player was still crazy hot though.

Pretty damn cool that this show was in the arena! These bands usually play the Wolf Den that only holds a couple hundred people.

Here's a clip that Pearcy posted on his youtube page. Except for a few seats/rows, it was pretty packed and looked like a real rock & roll show.

Still, it was sad when you go down the list and see that not only is Riley gone but Ratt, Vixen and QR all have key band members that are no longer with us. RIP!
