It was hard-driving, in-your-face heavy rock from the first note to the last. I have never seen anything like it. There was not one bad song on the setlist. It rolled through the audience like a speeding locomotive. Sammy's vocals were spot-on and filled with a depth I've not heard from him in a long time. He looked great. He sounded great. Michael Anthony's bass and distinctive backing vocals were prime as ever. Satriani's guitar work was a new level of extraordinary. Chad Smith's drumming was a voice refusing to go unheeded--an outstanding element to the band. I realize that these are professional musicians with aspiratons of their own, and that Chad is still a member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I hope Chickenfoot won't be a transitory "supergroup." These guys have such great chemistry between them and have put out the kind of hard rock music that has been sorely missing for the past few decades, but with a fresh voice all their own. They should have been a band a long time ago. Anyone who has the chance to see Chickenfoot and doesn't go, will regret it. They will pound your ass off. Their album is due for release on June 5. I can't wait! I too, was fortunate to catch this show. It was hard-driving, in-your-face heavy rock from the first note to the last. I have never seen anything like it.

Sounds like the Fillmore is still a good place to see a show--I deduce that from the absence of comments about the venue)--unlike Seattle, where we had to endure a dangerously oversold house, the antics of security goons that ought to be placed in handcuffs, and a crowd that some have termed "testosterone driven," but which was really laced with Viagra addicts. Chickenfoot...BAWK,BAWK,BAWK...I mean, RAWK! Good to hear that Chickenfoot’s show was as good in my hometown as it was in my adopted domain (Seattle).
