Video from the first night of the 26th Annual Birthday Bash!

 

The Circle rehearsed a week before so we could have a dozen or so new songs in our set the fans have never heard of play. "Whole Lotta Rosie" may be my favorite cover song to sing ever.

 

"Seventh Seal" never sounded better -- Jason Bonham keeping it in that deep heavy pocket I can't believe we left this one out for this long, it belongs to The Circle.

 

"Helter Skelter" - Montrose used to do this song for an encore. I remember the year we open for Aerosmith in Detroit did "Helter-Skelter" and they came out and opened with it. Last night's version I had goosebumps from beginning to end. Another keeper for The Circle.

 

"Give to Live" we played at last year's birthday bash once. I couldn't believe the people singing it at the top of their lungs, another hair raising moment from last night. We've got many more in store for the next few nights will keep you posted.
