Memphis - 9/14/11

[Deb]

Great pics and reviews guys, thanks for sharing!

[Saint John]

If these guys want to stay within the "flow" of the concert set up by Night Ranger and Foreigner and play more of what was advertised with this bill (GH), here's a far better set to do so:

Separate Ways
Ask The Lonely
Stone In Love
Only The Young
City Of Hope
When You Love A Woman
Escape
Wheel In The Sky
Anything Is Possible
Open Arms
Lights
Be Good To Yourself
Any Way You Want It

Encore:

Faithfully
Don't Stop Believin'

The tickets were a gift from a kind person who wanted me to go see the band and meet Jon. I will be forever grateful to this wonderful lady. I did not ask for the tickets, it was her gift to me.

She sounds like a wonderful lady. I bet she's Good People too.

Oh! I forgot our Denny's story!

Our waitress was nowhere in sight. She and I waited for what felt like an hour and the girl finally showed up, and asked if we wanted anything. Susan told her she wanted her salad first because she was very hungry I ordered the same thing she had and tea. Susan had a sprite. Well we waited................and waited..............and waited................no drinks no nothing. I wondered if this gal had went to a garden in California and was hand picking our vegetables. She shows up and Susan asked about her salad, and she goes, I'll go see if it is ready. She returns after a while with the salad and a Sprite for Susan and a water for me. I reminded her that I had a tea, and asked her if I could have my salad as well. It took her a while but she returned with the salad and tea. The guys were gone for a long time. We both were getting worried. After what seemed an eternity they walked through the door and I remarked here is Larry Curly and Mo! Danny said the same thing at the same time. (We think too much alike)

Finally she takes the guys orders and after a while she brings Susan and I our orders, the guys got their orders right after that. Makes me wonder if she had lost ours all that time. She didn't refill any of our drinks, I wanted some coffee but gave up on that seeing our service.

See this what pissed me off when Jesse Jackson and the blacks were complaining/suing Denny's back in the late 90's/2000 saying they don't serve black people. Denny's doesn't serve ANYONE! They're notorious for this.

I can't BELIEVE I'm going to agree on something with you Tito... but I 100% agree!! I have NEVER had good service and boycotted Denny's years ago. I realized a long time ago that the "racial" thing had to have been a misunderstanding, because their service SUCKS for everyone, always has, and so does their food. It's never worth the wait and frustration eating there entails. Too bad it's one of the few places open 24 hours, because i have a feeling that's the only reason they still exist.

Our last visit to a Denny's, about 10 years ago, we watched as several tables, who had arrived AFTER us, were getting waited on before we were. We sat there about a half hour before realizing this. So we complain, the server FINALLY comes to us. And we order. I never get my salad. An hour later, we get our food, and I ask "where was my salad" and she says she forgot. So then says she can get it then. Well we had our dinner already and didn't see the point, so my husband talked them into a free dessert instead. After having similar experiences other times, and different Denny's, doesn't matter where, we have never set foot in one since!

Is there ANY reason you'd go to Denny's if it's not before 2 AM? Sick food.

Oh! I forgot our Denny's story!

Susan and I waited while Danny and Rip went to find our lost waif Dan. We heard a homeless woman had harassed him and were getting quite worried. He parked in a very bad neighborhood. Susan had nothing to eat all day and was starving. Our waitress was nowhere in sight. She and I waited for what felt like an hour and the girl finally showed up, and asked if we wanted anything. Susan told her she wanted her salad first because she was very hungry I ordered the same thing she had and tea. Susan had a sprite. Well we waited................and waited..............and waited................no drinks no nothing. I wondered if this gal had went to a garden in California and was hand picking our vegetables.

Now get this............when we had called before the show to make arrangements to meet, I jokingly told Dan over the phone that I wanted to thank him for offering to buy us all dinner after the show, I told him Rip told me he was doing that. We all laughed and I told him I was teasing.

So I felt pretty embarrassed when after we got through eating Dan had taken care of the bill! I told Dan he did not have to do that! I had just been kidding. But thanks anyway my friend. That was sweet. I owe you a dinner now.

The waitress was nice, but the service was ridiculously slow... and Denny's was nowhere close to being packed, which surprised us right after a concert a few blocks away. Thanks again to Saint John for buying our dinner - totally expected, and for Ginger's hubby Dan for not letting me leave the restaurant alone. I forgot to post this pic -- MR on the bad streets of Memphis!

Dump WYLAW and throw in two more rockers from Eclipse. Greatest hits fans stay happy, as does Neal. Win win. Otherwise, fantastic setlist.

You want them to play BGTY twice?

You want them to play BGTY twice?

Oops! Fixed it.
