Review for the Portland Oregon show at the Tonic Lounge 2/8/2014

This is the tough review to write. The band was spot on Michael was on fire everything sounded great.

The venue was terrible the stage was 6 inches tall so as we all know Michael cradles the V and crouches down so only the front row could see him except a shot of his head now and again. The weather was awful we had over a foot of snow. The stage was so small when it came time for the encore Doogie says "We would normally go off stage and you guys would cheer and we would come back on for the encore but we have no where to go and were not going outside" So as a guitarist not getting to see Michael play was torture but he sounded on top of his game.
