Just got back a little bit ago from seeing Joan Jett. Awesome show. Didn't so anything special with the lights, but who needs lights when you just come out and kick some ass.
Kicked it off with Bad Reputation and played some of her hits such as "I hate myself for loving you" and "I love rock n roll", had maybe three or so songs that even *I* wasn't familiar with, and even had a cover of Sweet's "AC/DC".
But she played a few other songs I wasn't quite expecting, such as "I wanna be your dog", "little liar", and "crimson & clover", but it was a great two hours.
For a first concert, that's definitely the way to do it.
