Hellsinki rocked!

The band plays propably better than ever, they looked and sounded great! The Icehall's acoustics is shite but
the overall sound was still pretty good in the front. There's a "new" twist in Brian's playing, he bends the strings more these days, kind of bluesier touch here and there. Sounded damn good!I didn't watch the HotRodLincoln at all, too many friends at the bar. Laughing

The Cats were great but the audience at times wasn't Neutral

But I guess it's because of the Finnish mentality! Thanks for the great gig, I'm sure everybody had a rocking time!

Hey Juice, Gig was O.K? Routine? They Stray Cats haven't been there in four years. How routine could it be?
There's a reason Brian is this calling this his "Farewell Tour", It's numbskulls like you!
Well there's always the Hal Peters Trio.

Brian and Julie love Finland, they actually vacationed there, but I can promise you Brian will never return to your shores.

Hal Peters ROOLS!

Hi guys, I've been at Helsinki show and it was first time, when I've seen Brian live. I live in Russia, and it was
single chance for me to view live show, cause the Finland are near by me. Thanks to Brian and the guys for the gig,
Tommy, please say 'Hello' to Brian from Russian fans. Keep rockin !
