Do not delay. Prove to me that you are not a hopeless lamer. Do it now and rock out, preferably at loud volume, shortly thereafter.
They do three songs The Runaways used to do, "Wait For Me," "Black Leather," and the epic "I Love Playin' with Fire," and they execute them with a vengeance. The audience sings along in glorious parts and the version on this one of the fantastic Gary Glitter tune "Do You Wanna Touch Me? (Oh Yeah)" is the best I've ever heard. Love that barre pattern! There's a really good version of Tommy James & The Shondells' immortal classic "Crimson & Clover" too. Love that song! Go ahead and listen to a track or two with your computer speakers, but it's massive on a real system.

Listening to the mp3s now. Great to hear. Joan seems to be one of the few from her era to have come out with her reputation intact (Lemmy being another obvious candidate) - largely be refusing to deviate from a tried and trusted formula (as with Lemmy). The sound quality is immense. Thanks.

Anyway, these things don't really bother me but I thought it was a nice gesture of Gibson to award her with a signature guitar.
