COMMENTS & NOTES:
· Ted Nugent was relaxed and talkative (as always).
· Nugent was very loud. Maybe volume was a bit too loud for that PA? (Behind Ted was 12*Peawey.)
· Nugent used brown Byrdland from Paralyzed to Just What The Doctor Ordered. Then he changed to the “USA Flag” Les Paul and played from Wang Dang Sweet Poontang to Hey Baby with it. The rest of the songs were played with the black Byrdland. No PRS guitars.
· Mendoza sang in Just What The Doctor Ordered, Hey Baby & Stranglehold.
· Nugent: “Sorry for long delay visiting in Sweden but I have been busy.” (Last gig in Sweden 1978).
· Nugent before Cat Scratch Fever: “This is the world’s best guitar riff.”
· Nugent before Stranglehold: “I lied. This is the world’s best guitar riff.”
· In the end of Great White Buffalo: “I’ll sacrifice my buffalo”. Then Nugent shot his black Byrdland guitar with bow and flaming arrow. (Guitar change before shot? Byrdland seemed to contain also earlier holes :-)
· ‘Rawdogs & Warhogs’ promises _good_ for the coming Craveman CD.

· SUMMARY: Very worthwhile hard-hitting ultimate rock & roll show. It was just what the doctor ordered. I liked especially Stranglehold and Motorcity Madhouse.
