Over the last several years i've seen huge arena concert shows from the stones to streisand with their 20,000 size audiences in vegas and baseball stadiums... they were awesome... when i saw asleep was coming to town didn't hesitate to get tickets... upon arriving at the 1,000 capacity gilbert venue it took a little while to get used to the idea this was not going to be a million dollar extravaganza.... no dazzling light show, special effects, or liquor... but as asleep began their first song i was instantly glad i was in the room, they were awesome.... this was a total show about the music and their fantastic swing boogie style... i believe they did "route 66" third song in, that was the one song i was waiting for... as the show progressed, was unaware ray benson is such a great guitarist... started to wish we all were in a small bar and could've been dancing with the band rocking a few feet away, and i could've had a couple of drinks... but, it was great...
