The Persuaders at Tempe Marketplace was a good way to end the working week. And given our whole plan to (finally) do as little as possible and get to bed at a reasonable time, the whole 7 - 10pm timeslot was very welcomed to both of that.

All week I'd thought it started at 8, until about 6:30 tonight, which presented the delima of whether to take our pizza with us or try to shove it down as fast as possible. We opted for the later, and hence didn't get down there until 8, however amazingly didn't seem to miss anything.

Photobox ImageWe showed up as Thomas was setting up Dani with his red guitar. Dani opened the show. Pretty amazing at age 13. She pulled out 3 songs (two originals and a cover of Dancing In The Dark) before her dad and the rest of The Persuaders took the stage.

Photobox ImageLawrence absolutely looked like he was born to be on a huge stage. And did a remarkable job of censoring himself for the family orientated crowd. Who knows what the hell Laufenberg was singing during Jesus Christ though. It probably wasn't the original lyric, but whatever it was, it didn't take much imagination to guess what the lyric actually is. [wink]

Photobox ImageDefinitely fun to see them on the outdoor stage. And it was quite the summer night for it. When we left, I checked the temperature - 100F, or 38C. Not bad for after 10pm!
