For a moment I thought the audience had some really great singers who could sing in key and harmonize, lol but then I realized that along with the keyboards, there were backing vocal tracks for the harmonies. Thanks for the upload and quality recording. Some of these comments are hilarious. "Drop ceiling tour," "Grandma's garage." 🤣 Guitarist was great.

Fuck whaddya want? Sure it’s significantly lower but this guy’s the real voice, bringing those songs with honesty best he can, and WITH an awesome guitarist in tow. At least he’s honest and legit. 🎉. Way better to be honest. It’s great he’s still doing it. Any haters are stuck in the 80s and they’re gone. Leave the guy alone and how about some support. Better than Coverdale hiring Dino to cover his ass every night. Dino’s another thing , he’s fn brilliant on his own.
