Wow! 6 years between Henry Rollins shows. But when he comes to town one month before an election, how are you going to turn that down.
Another great 2 plus hours of opinions and stories from someone I spent so many years admiring as a great band leader. Stories varied from Trump (obviously), Rollins' political left leanings, his friendship with Ru Paul, his first Ramones show (the first time in 8 shows that I've heard Henry tell the same story), travelling and many other topics - all from memory (again, as usual).
This has been a favorite show of Rollins that I've seen in the US. While political, he also told many a great personal and travel stories, which have been lacking for me in shows I've seen in Las Vegas. His Australian shows I saw in the 90's had no real political skew, just stories of travel both personal and with Black Flag and Rollins Band.
Like reviewing most orators / comedians I find it hard to write about what actually happened during the show when it comes to actual content. It is definitely a "you had to be there" moment. Needless to say Rollins' manic delivery and ability to jump from one subject to another kept a full McGlohon Theater entertained all night long. Look forward to seeing him again (sooner than in 6 years).
The Crap Facts:
This is my 412th concert.
