Phil and I went. It was a good time. They were doing Return to paradise, a restaging of The Paradise Theater, but, as a reunion tour, it was pretty much a greatest hits show. Their backdrop was a flat of curtains that changed with every song.

The full band was there, except for the drummer, John Panozzo. He was struggling with illness due to alcohol abuse. He died of alcohol abuse, a couple of months later, in July. Todd Sucherman joined the band as drummer, at the time of this tour.

Kansas opened. They were fine. They mostly played their hits. Original members Steve Walsh (vocals) and Phil Ehardt (drums). Rich Williams (guitar), David Ragsdale (violin), Billy Greer (bass) and Greg Robert (keyboards).

Back of the front center section, on the left aisle. $27.50.
