>I attended Saturday's show in Anderson, IN at the
>State Theatre. Approximately 500 in attendance. The
>band opened up with Notorious. The set was almost two
>hours in length. Doug Johnson opened up the encore by
>playing the Charlie Brown theme song! The encore was
>Lovin' Every Minute Of It. Midway through the song,
>they broke into Superstition by Steview Wonder and
>then into Come Together by The Beatles. It was very
>cool! This marks the seventh time I have seen the
>band, with the previous being 1983, 1986, 1995, 1997,
>1998, and 2000. I can honestly say that this was the
>best peformance I have attended. For starters, the
>venue was fantastic. An 1,100 seat theatre from the
>1920's. Acoustics were awesome and the sound was just
>right, not too loud. I know a lot has been said about
>Mike Reno being out of shape. Whom among us have not
>changed from the 1980's? I know I have. However,
>Mike was the trimmest I have seen him since the '86
>show. You could tell the weight loss made a
>difference in his performance. He was moving all over
>the stage and was very energetic. He also spoke a
>good deal throughout the show. No mention of the new
>live album or any upcoming projects. The rest of the
>band were energized as well. Spider played a 5+
>minute bass solo and clearly demonstrated that he is a
>very talented bass player. Immediately after the
>show, Matt F. came to the front of the stage and
>signed autographs for everyone. The rest of the band
>left the stage. Matt was very polite and
>approachable. What amazed me the most was how a band
>that has been together for 20+ years could sound every
>bit as good as in their "prime", if not better. Mike
>hit every single note and his voice was clear as a
>bell. It would be an absolute shame if Loverboy is
>not given the opportunity to put out another album of
>new material. Fantastic show!! I hope they come
>through the Indianapolis area again next year. 5 out
>of 5 stars.
