At Club Vodka, Hollywood, CA on March 11, 2004.

Finally after a few weeks while Graham recovered from his illness, it was time again to see why Bonnet rocks! All of the Graham fans from all over came in to see the man works his magic again. ( Hiro once again came in from Japan.)

What else can we say?  The man did his job and came through again. The band was the same and did an awesome set. There were even celebs there. Lloyd Grant ( early- Metallica ) and the ever famous Chris Holms from W.A.S.P. was there.

Now the music. The setlist was pretty much the same as his last appearance with the exception of one surprise "THE NIGHT OF THE SHOOTING STAR" which was added.

I have to admit there was something of a battle for the spotlight going on from the band. Howie Simon was  there doing an awesome job on the leads, but also on stage was John Thomas playing guitar, keys and singing.  Most of the time all at once! He did this during several song, (DESERT SONG,  ISLAND, AND LOST). It was quite an amazing feat to see. Tim and Stefan also were having fun in the back holding the rhythm down!

My favorite part of the show was when Kazu handed Graham some sunglasses.  I think Howie summed it up when he said "Man you just took me back 25 years with those shades!"   I don't think I could have said it any better!

Here is the setlist from the stage and the songs that were performed that night.

This show was definately worth the wait. By the way, Graham's son and daughter were also in attendance to see him in action. Also when Graham comes back I'll be there one more time. Thanks guy for an awesome show!
