This particular concert was a radio show, so there were a lot of acts besides the Wallflowers that were performing.  The Wallflowers were the headliners and went on last.  The concert started around 4:30, but the Wallflowers didn't take the stage until after 9.  There were around 5 other acts before the Wallflowers and at first I thought it would be a rough night for the Wallflowers because no one moved at all during the first few performances.  They seemed like a tough crowd to please.  Everyone stayed in their seats even after many of the performers kept urging the crowd to stand up and sing.  Eve 6 went on right before the Wallflowers and people finally got up and enjoyed themselves.  Then when the Wallflowers came onto the stage the crowd went crazy!  The guys sounded amazing!  Everyone was screaming for them and The Wallflowers seemed like they were having a lot of fun.  Before One Headlight Jake jokingly said this one's a cult favorite.  During their entire set the crowd was on their feet and jumping around.  When they came back onstage for the encore only Mike, Greg, and Mario came out and Mike introduced them and he sang Song 2.  Then Jake and Rami came back out and Jake introduced Rami before they played Won't Get Fooled Again.  Then they played  Don't Let Me Down at the end, which I think they added to the encore because the crowd was so enthusiastic.  Jake and Mike both sang the chorus and Mike sang the lead vocal.  It was a really great show.  The band sounded awesome.
