I guess all of them were awsome in concert. Alice Cooper and Beastie Boys were my two favorites probably. Meat Loaf was good but pretty short. They ended with Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones which was strange. They didnt do Two out of Three ain't Bad. There was two other hot chicks singing with him (which looked weird because here are two 25 year old hottees with this 59 year old fat guy). They blew a kiss to me and my brother (I was in the front row). Foreigner didnt do any of that new crap that most bands are doing now. They just played straigt forward without messing up at all. Here are there setlist:


 * 1) Double Vision
 * 2) Head Games
 * 3) Cold as Ice
 * 4) Dirty White Boy
 * 5) Feels Like the First Time
 * 6) Urgent
 * 7) Juke Box Hero

Yeah, they went by fast.Styx was good but as usual were pretty strange. They just played a couple hits then left. This is their setlist.


 * 1) Blue Collar Man
 * 2) Grand Illusion
 * 3) Too much Time on my Hands
 * 4) Fooling Yourself
 * 5) Miss America
 * 6) Come Sail Away
 * 7) Renegade

Thaey went by even quicker after them this Boston news reporter was behind us. We talked to her but not to much. Then Def Leppard came. They were a bit longer. This is their setlist.


 * 1) Rocket
 * 2) Animal
 * 3) Exitable
 * 4) Foolin'
 * 5) Mirror, Mirror
 * 6) Another Hit and Run
 * 7) Love Bites
 * 8) Rock On
 * 9) Two Steps Behind

 * 11) Switch 625
 * 12) Hysteria
 * 13) Armageddon It
 * 14) Photograph
 * 15) Pour Some Sugar on me
 * 16) Rock of Ages

See? That was much longer. Def Leppard was my favorite out of them. They also did this tribite to Boston(band) and played More Then a Feeling.

Fogerty was great. He did 29 songs in 3 hours. We saw him at the Orpheam. This is his setlist:

Oh Im a skeleton Oh just a skeleton

Im Skele Skeleton Just a Skele Skeleton

GET UP AND DONT DIE To find what is going on. I first find what's only gone. I don't think I can stand out in the rain 'cause I don't need to. Going out on a trip when I don't know where I'm going. Stop and think, don't look back. There might be something you don't lack. It's deadly. Not time to die yet. Noone thinks it's time yet. Then you always get what you get. You get up and don't die. You just get up and don't die. Get up, get up, get up, and dont die You think it's not hard when it is. You think and think when it's his. Facts are facts, walls are walls I am me so I do what I want. I get up and don't die. I get up and don't die. I keep running and running from my victims. I get up and don't die MY LIFE

My nails aren't clipped, my fingers are long. this is the part when I sing this song. My heart is black. My hair is long. I have a gun in my pocket, I don't need King Kong My fist is big. My teeth are sharp. I have a devil and angel without a harp. My window is broken, my walls are torn. I prick myself with a thorn. Then I see my blood, I don't wipe it off. I am used to it when I cough. My diary is filled with secrets without any dreams. I have a sweaty smell, I never get creamed. I always stay inside listening to my radio. I go up or down, up or down, up or down, up or down up or down up or down up or down (he has symbols inbetween the up or downs where he says this is the chorus)

and much more.
