Great show and a lot of energy from the band. I stood about 3 "rows" back on Johnny's side of the stage. He seemed to be having a good time and was really on with his playing. David rhythm guitar was excellent and his singing was rocking.

There was a good size crowd that was appreciative of Cracker. They played for about 1:40. Went out back to their bus after the show, David was outside the bus with a couple of other fans. Told him it was a great show and got his signature. When he was through signing it somebody grabbed it from him, it was Johnny. He signed his picture on the cover and thanked us for coming. He said he saw me and liked when somebody knew their songs and what Cracker was about. Talked with him about 3 minutes.

He talked about the show and said it was a good one and that Des Moines got a green star and they would be back. It won't be soon enough.
