I really liked Joan Jett, she seemed like she was working pretty hard, it was mostly much a ZZ Top crowd, and she was happy to be back in her home state. She played longer than I would've thought, over an hour. I liked her better than ZZ Top, they didn't seem to have to work as hard to get the crowd into it!

Thanks for the input, I didn't think those guys made THAT much money!
MKC- Joan Jett wore out her songbook, played a long time. She was wearing the same outfit as in the videos you posted. She played Iggy's "I Wanna Be Your Dog", a song she wrote with Paul Westerberg of the Replacements that I don't remember, and a whole bunch of other stuff. It was like she was putting on a rock show, and ZZ Top was doing a loud lounge act? The bassist for ZZ Top had a wrap(?) on his fret hand/wrist, and it appeared as if they were playing some pre-recorded bass tracks, but I'm not a musician! I KNOW they didn't have a synth player up there! I'm sure in their day, they were something though. The guitar player for ZZ Top walked across the front of the floor about 10 feet in front of J.J. while she was in the middle of a song, I'm not sure why he had to do that. I also noticed small contingents of mostly younger women left after J.J., and skipped ZZ Top, but the bulk of the crowd was definitely there to see ZZ Top.
