This show was great. Jeremy & Friends were clearly primed for this. Besides a bunch of Jeremy's own songs, which are under appreciated outside his fan base, and which get the full string quartet arrangements with fine rock band support, there are always lots of fun covers with a Halloween theme and guest performers to liven things up. This year's finale of "Highway to Hell" wasn't the surprise it was last year, but it was still almost as much fun, and the whole band was into it, instead of just a bit tentative, like last year. (Of course the very idea of wuss-rock Jeremy singing this is almost as much of a snarky joke as some of his regular songs, but I think everybody enjoyed this and other covers). Other covers, like "Don't Fear the Reaper," and so on, were fun to hear, interpreted by this collective of fine performers. Don't miss it next year!
