 WOW!!!
I've
been
an
avid
listener
since
the
early
80's
(I
remember
seeing
him
on
"Saturday
Night
Live"
back
then
and
being
hooked)
but
did
not
expect
to
walk
away
from
a
show
utterly
blown
away.
Doors
opened
up
at
7:00
pm,
two
friends
and
myself
showed
up
at
7:30.
I
was
kind
of
worried
when
I
looked
around,
for
only
50
or
so
people
were
on
the
main
floor
of
the
venue.
By
the
time
Gary
and
co.
took
the
stage
the
place
was
pretty
well
packed
(this
was
a
Tuesday
night,
mind
you,
so
a
weekend
night
would
have
been
all
the
better).
The
crowd
was
a
suprising
mix
of
ages,
from
teens
(banished
to
the
balcony
due
to
drinking
laws)
to
fortyish
adults,
all
enjoying
a
great
show.
The
only
low
point
was
when
some
F#$@ing
IDIOT
in
front
of
the
stage
decided
to
throw
a
small
smoke
bomb.
A
roadie
quickly
took
care
of
the
problem,
and
the
show
went
on,
everybody
on
stage
totally
unfazed.
I'll
tell
you
that
this
is
the
first
concert
that
I
actually
got
CHILLS
at,
it
was
that
good.
I
cannot
put
to
words
how
"right"
the
sound
was.
The
mix
of
material
played
during
the
show
was
PERFECT,
a
balance
of
old
(Are
Friends
Electric?,
Metal,
Cars,
Down
in
the
Park)
and
new
(the
Pure
tracks,
as
well
as
the
high
point
of
the
show
for
me
"Dark"
from
Exile).
This
is
the
first
(and
NOT
last)
Numan
show
I've
been
to,
and
I
walked
away
totally
impressed.
I
feel
fortunate
to
have
had
to
drive
only
fifteen
miles
to
see
this
show,
was
seriously
considering
driving
out
the
the
Chicago
show.
All
I
can
say
is
thanks,
Gary,
and
PLEASE
come
back
to
the
Detroit
area
in
the
near
future.
