Firing Line - Even though Gregg always butchered the lyrics

I actually saw the last Firing Line. 8-24-07 in Clarkston, MI

It was a great show.

The last time I heard it live was at Common Ground Fest in Lansing. the lyrics Gregg tried to sing were God Awful. I think it was in 2005.

They always knocked it out of the park at Pine Knob. I have SO many memories of that place as I lived right by there. Didn't like the two times they played at Meadowbrook. Beautiful venue but to me, it just didn't have the right vibe for an ABB show.

As an aside, I went back home two years ago and hadn't been to Pine Knob since I moved to Chicago in 2005. Saw The J. Geils Band and Chris Robinson opened. Awesome show! Only time I have seen J. Geils and they have always loved playing Detroit. I hope to get back there for something this summer.

It was a unique show that night. The final version of "Firing Line" and they also did "Turn On Your Lovelight" for the only time outside the Beacon. It was played 6 times total, 5 of which were at the Beacon. I feel lucky to have seen that show.

Too bad we don't know each other. The first time they were there I had backstage passes which was kind of weird as we were just in a field behind the stage they set up. The second time I was in the V.I.P. tent. Free drinks and food.

Both times were with my ex- who didn't want to be there. Would have been cool to meet up!

Well I try to hit all the Mule shows in the area. I'll be in Indy Saturday night for another one. If you ever hit these shows I'd hit ya up.
