Most people probably would not have noticed Joe's guitar part missing or the problem except that Joe kept messing with the equipment. My cousin said when Joe walked back to get the guitar tech, Joe was pretty animated. So the show goes on and no more problems with Joe's guitar or equipment until HC. That's right HOTEL CALIFORNIA! Joe once again had to mess with his equipment during the song. I know nothing about guitars or the equipment but in layman's terms there was NO amplification coming out & Joe kept messing with the box in front of him. Finally a tech came out & they changed a wire but by that time most of the song was over. Steuart & Joe never really got to tear into HC like they usually do. However the good news is my cousins said they did not notice anything missing and from the conversations leaving the venue, everyone thought the concert was AWESOME, AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, FANTASTIC. Some of the audience's comments as I was leaving and that made me smile and made me very happy. I just felt so bad for Joe, I bet he was not happy. I have other observations but I need to pack. I am headed back home today.
