Didn't really know what to expect going into this show. I figured that for $12, I'd at least get my money's worth with a really kick-ass cover of "99 Red Balloons". (They delivered.) But the crowd went absolutely nuts for every song. Usually there's at least a few "let's go to the bar while they play the boring song from the new album" moments in every show, but not this one. And it was all the stage manager could do to keep lead singer John Feldmann from diving into the crowd at every opportunity. It's got to be humbling when your job is to hold a grown man back by the belt as he goes berserk. Ah, but it was damn entertaining. They shot a DVD during the show as well, so if you want to see exactly what it was like, check out Goldfinger - Live at the House of Blues (2003).
