billy idol w/joan jett

Post by thunderdan »

Saw the show outside Fort Lauderdale. Great show. What you'd expect. Joan did her 60 minutes, fans into it. Billy killed it for 90 minutes approximately. It was at the hockey arena. Top curtained off no surprise but great crowd, especially for a Tuesday night. Floor and bottom half full, I'd guess 10k, great crowd really into it, Billy Idol I'd never seen so I thought I better go. Highly recommended to anyone thinking about going, great show.

I caught this show a couple weeks ago. We missed Joan Jett because parking was a fucking nightmare, but Billy was great. All the hits, a few deep cuts, a couple new songs and a couple Generation X songs. Pretty much everything you'd expect from a legacy act playing arenas. I was never a huge fan, but the guy can still deliver at 69. The show I saw was probably about 9k.

Both legends who deserve the utmost respect across the board.

Saw Billy Idol in 1984/85... he ruled and from every video I've seen, as noted above, he's still great.

The 1 night I was at a Summer's Eve Playboy Mansion party in 1999 (ish), Billy offered me a hit off a joint, I declined.

Never saw Joan Jett or met her... yet... but, I have toured with 2/5ths of The Runaways over the years.
