Thanx for posting that Syd, man I hate cancer!! Way too young!

Ok, despite getting the news of Sandy West's death one hour before coming on stage, man Joan rocked!! She started with Bad Reputation, then she made the announcement about Sandy, it was very touching, you just don't picture Joan Jett crying. She dedicated the show to her and sang Cherry Bomb next. This song completely rocked!! My friend and I started at a table, but we quickly moved towards the stage, we were probably about 4 rows back. I can't remember the order of the songs, but she sang several from her new cd, including AC/DC, Riddles, Naked, Change the World, Fetish (dirty song but man it rocks!! Lol!!), Androgynous and my f.rggin fave song, it's called "Five"!! She kicked it!! I still gotta say if you don't have her new cd "Sinner", you are missing out on some awesome music!!
Joan sang tons more songs, including Light Of Day, that was from a movie by the same name that Joan filmed here in Cleveland with Michael J. Fox. I think it was around 1986, I was lucky enough to meet her a couple times, she was very cool! I didn't meet her last night, but I agree Jeff I would have loved to tell her that Lisa sings a kick a.ss I Hate Myself For Loving You!! Joan's version was pretty a.ss kicking too last night! Lol! It was one of the last songs she did! She rocked it big time! Other awesome songs she sang were Crimson and Clover, Everyday People, Do You Wanna Touch Me, Love is All Around (the Mary Tyler Moore song, lol) Of course she did I Love Rock N Roll!! F.riggin awesome! I didn't recognize her final encore and am wondering if it was a Runaways song.
Joan looked great! Of course she was in black leather! She had a sleevless vest type thing on, she's got lots of cool tattoos! I took some pictures, but not on my digital camera, I don't have a scanner, but if they turn out I will figure out a way to post some. If you have a chance to see Joan Jett just do it!! She's still got it, what a rocking show!!

Betsy,
The end was Wild Child originally by Iggy Pop. I have talked with Joan many times over the last 15 years or so and I really do not know how she made it through the set. I am still fighting tears. Where were you? I had the red CBGB's shirt on. Joan kicks arse and will continue to do so in true Jett fashion. Rest in peace Sandy!
