| Sammy was a great host -- in case you didn't already know, the guy really knows how to throw a party -- and he did a great job keeping things rolling along with nary a hiccup. Well, unless you count forgetting some of the lyrics to _Sam I Am_ at the start of the show. His new tune, _Father Time_ was interesting: | Sammy was a great host -- in case you didn't already know, the guy really knows how to throw a party -- and he did a great job keeping things rolling along with nary a hiccup.

| Steve Vai's segment was probably the most energetic of the night (two drummers can definitely pump up the volume a bit!), though Dave Grohl fans might want to argue that point. I wish Steve had taken a moment to introduce his two tunes. The first was a pseudo-flamenco guitar piece -- either entirely solo, or perhaps with some occasional drum counterpoint from Mick -- while the second instrumental has vanished into the tangled incoherence of my memory. I was there! It happened! I can't say anything about it beyond repeating the brief note above that it featured Mick Fleetwood playing a medium-sized talking drum instead of his kit.

| _World Turning_ was probably the high point of the show. Sammy was into it. The band was into it, and the drummers were definitely into it! Mick started out on the talking drum, but switched over to using his full set for a crazy duet with Taylor Hawkins. Way fun! And Taylor was gushing about it ('I got to duet with Mick Fleetwood tonight!' | _World Turning_ was probably the high point of the show. Sammy was into it.

| - | Dave's sweet, unassuming persona came shining through, both in his banter, and in his choice of songs. I'm sure most of us present would have been happy to hear him play another 20 or 30 minutes, even if it would keep us up that much later on a Monday night. In fact, I was more than a little surprise when Sammy wrapped things up by calling everyone out to bow once Dave finished his miniset. No grand finale? It's not even 11 PM? Heck! The Red Rocker must be learning to respect limits these days: I was tired and hurting, but still wanted more. Instead, I headed outside to cool down and stand in line awhile on Fillmore street, waiting to pick up a t-shirt -- the physical manifestation of my reward for supporting the Benioff Children' | + | Dave's sweet, unassuming persona came shining through, both in his banter, and in his choice of songs.
