I really hope he can handle 3 nights in a row still! I get nervous with NY being the last date that he'll be all tuckered out.

The lineup is Bender and Fisher with Hunter and the Rant Band. I've seen Hunter and the Rant Band a few times. They're aces.
Mark Bosch will cover for a lot of Bender's deficiencies as a lead guitarist. From what I've seen on YouTube clips from last year's festival shows, Bender mugs a lot and barely seems to be playing. Bosch does most of the heavy lifting, until Bender steps up for some really terrible solos. He always was an inadequate replacement for Mick Ralphs.

Steve Holley is amazing- heres a great clip of him in action with Hunter/Ronson. Bass solo is....of it's time.

I saw Ian Hunter and Todd Rundgren playing together in a benefit for John Anderson (third party US presidential candidate) in October 1980 at the Ontario Theatre in Washington, DC.

Ended up getting similar seats in Milwaukee to the seats we had for the last Bowie show at the same venue. Of course, the last Milwaukee show I saw on April 1 was 1977, when Iggy played with Blondie opening when a mop topped Bowie played keys for Mr. Osterberg.
