Tonight was no different; as the audience strolled in, you could clearly see and intensely feel that they were ready to let loose and rock the night away. The party truly began with "Eye of the Panther," and the band delivered everything you would expect from the renowned Steel Panther. Each member of the band was a captivating spectacle in their own right, bringing unique energy and charisma to the performance. Mike Starr made sure to point out "Banana Man" early in the set, promising him a memorable spot on stage, which he delivered during the encore performance of "Glory Hole." The band is celebrated not only for their humor but also for their infectious songs, high-energy performances, and, of course, the stunning GIRLS.

In that moment, it became clear that the band, alongside Jimi, was about to push into high gear. They delivered an exhilarating performance, showcasing their punk stoner vibe that beautifully complemented the alternative rock genre. Jimmie’s Chicken Shack was undoubtedly the perfect band to kick off this exciting night of music. Although their set felt standard and disappointingly brief for someone like me, with memorable tracks like “Do Right” and “High” included in the lineup, there was simply no way they could go wrong.
