The second of two sold out shows. A fierce performance of tracks from the new CD "Mantaray" as well as some older Banshees gems. For the latter catalog, she stuck to rarities and album tracks, performing few singles and making the audience (as well as this concert-goer and his band of merry-makers) VERY happy. Looking and sounding better than ever.
ADDED BONUS: The VIP area of the balcony ( in grainy cellphone splendor below) where savvy looky-loos could watch none other than a stunning Debbie Harry enjoying the show with a group of friends, smiling back at fans who called up to her every so often.

Below is one final, very telling shot taken by my friend Janie. The blurriness caused by her cellphone camera is actually rather appropriate for the feel of this day. My second surgical procedure had occured hours before and I had a hellish post-anasthesia experience, which I was only just coming out of during her thoughtful visit.
This was shot during an EKG that I was given after complaining of persistent chest pains. I told her (and all others) to remind me of the five days I spent with a drainage tube in my chest any time I complained that I wanted a cigarette. This photo alone should provide an excellent reminder.
