What a fun night. Once Roy got warmed up, he was very solid. John being great on the drums was no surprise, but Nelson as an absolute A-list ax man was shocking. Bassist was also great and really rounded out the group. Bravo guys!

Damn! Matt can really play. Killed that Hendrix.

I was really impressed with Matt's guitar playing in those clips. Super good. Kudos Matt!

Agreed. Killer tone, too! Outstanding...

Sounds great in the video recordings! I can imagine how much better it was live. Effin great job by all members of the band. And dude Matt has some serious chops!

Doesn't get much better than comics and Hendrix.

Hey guys, the night was a blast. This was only my second time playing onstage with a live band and I'm honored to be a part of it.

A HUGE, HUGE, HUGE thank you to everyone who showed up to support us. It was heartwarming to stand onstage and see so many familiar faces in the crowd.

As with all live shows the good and the bad make up the magic.

I had several people come up to us and say that this was the best comic convention event they've ever been to and it felt great to hear that. Hopefully we can do more in the future.

I actually thought I was going to have to get someone else to sing early in the set as after two long, late night practices I wore my voice wore pretty thin but seeing so many friends in the audience really helped pump me up.

In a group it's tough to find a common thread so we went through a lot of songs and settled on this set list the night before the show.

The good news is that we have a few songs on the back burner!

I'll post some video footage when I get home and settled. I had an audio device to record the audio for better quality and was going to sync it with the Go Pro video but for whatever reason, the audio didn't record.

Thanks again to everyone.

Wow, a reason it would've been nice to be in Chicago last night.

Congrats to the performers and participants - this looks like a great event and extremely cool thing to have joined in on. Excellent tunes played well and a good reason to get together.

So here is the one and only official tour shirt now signed by all members of the "band"

Kudos to the performers!

I had a late dinner so unfortunately couldn't make it. Quite a few folks told me Matt just killed it on the guitar!

This epic thread deserves a bump.  Great performances by everyone.  Matt Nelson is an unbelievable guitar player.  Blown away and suprised he doesn't move to Nashville and play professionally.

Classic rock...so majestic, so doomed, so sad...

I went to a rock concert, and a comic con broke out....

Word is that Matt and John are planning a show for San Diego. I am sure the details will be posted soon.

So dreamy....

I think they will have a different singer.
