COMMENTS & NOTES:

• House of Culture (Kulttuuritalo) was full of listeners (about 1500 persons).
• Ted Nugent was relaxed and talkative. He gave many friendly comments for the Helsinki audience.
• Nugent was very loud. Sound level status was “Flesh & Blood” over 100dB almost all the time. The sound _quality_ was very good.
• Nugent used the white Byrdland during songs 1-3. Then he changed to the Les Paul and played songs 4-17. During encore Great White Buffalo back to the Byrdland.
• Nice to hear new songs in the set à waiting for CD release. Interesting solos & improvisations was also heard.
• Nugent: “I have travelled all around the world but where have you been?” (The very first gig in Finland). Anyway Ted promises that he will be back.
• Nugent before Cat Scratch Fever: “This is the sexiest song in the whole fucking world.”
• Nugent before Stranglehold: “The number 1 guitar lick in the world”
• SUMMARY: No gimmicks – only ROCK. Ted was great. Ultimate rock & roll show. It was just what the doctor ordered. A good selection of old and new songs.
