Opening act was The Mountaintop Strings, a group of middle-schoolers to college kids playing in a 16 piece string orchestra, really great set of modern rock. Desperado played about 2 hours, covered a lot of favorites. The sound mix was a little off with the drums being a little too hot/overpowering but the guys made adjustments through the night. Great harmonies and excellent technical skills on the guitar, their version of On the Border was outstanding. The Cave is a great venue, now that we have discovered Big Bear we will be back for sure.
