Jett Screamer, Take Two
Thursday, August 28th, 2008
Beware, concert goers: if there are multiple bands, and some of them are quiet, always keep your eyes out for the inevitable loud one. ’cause if you’re not prepared and some hardcore rockers take the stage, your lulled mindset will be very quickly blasted away.
Such was the case when Joan Jett and the Blackhearts took the stage at the Chevy Court and absolutely destroyed the place (metaphorically speaking, anyway). Playing two sets after Asleep at the Wheel and The Spinners, Joan and her band ripped away the court’s quiet facade with some head-banging fun that probably blew the ears off quite a few listeners. She even spared the crowd a few grins while she was up on stage, clearly enjoying herself - not to mention the reaction to her performance, which was probably more energetic than she’d expected.
Good stuff, Jett. Blast that guitar, blast that microphone, and have fun doing it. Check out pictures of her performance here.
