The Metal Files

It’s the 4th of July weekend, what better band to see than America?  I missed their Austin show a few months back and was happy to see they booked a San Antonio show.

It’s been a busy day.  I had just had the first rehearsal with my new band and then went to meet Stryper.

My beautiful friend, Margarita, met me at the show and in we went.  The Tobin Center is a great venue.  Absolutely gorgeous and not a bad seat in the house.

I’ve always loved the band since I was a kid.  AM radio gold type stuff.  The band consists of 2 of the originals, Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley.  And as no surprise, the backing band was incredible.

They opened with Tin Man and You Can Do Magic.  Sandman and You Can Do Magic were my 2 faves of the night.  They sounded great, especially Dewey’s vocals.  Gerry’s were a little rough but those harmonies get tough at their age.  The set was mixed with everything from their famous greatest hits album to a few deeper cuts and a couple of newer songs.  It was a great show overall and was sold out.
