Last night I saw Joan Jett and the Blackhearts for the third time. Although the set list remains roughly the same, the band still is able to transfer the music’s essence and energy into the bodies and souls of the crowd every time that they play. Even the biggest stiff feels the need to rock at a Joan Jett concert.
They even played some of The Runaways’ catalog, like “Cherry Bomb” and “I Love Playing with Fire.” The crowd was able to follow Joan Jett’s music career from her teens to the present. It is quite clear that she must have been born with a guitar in her hands and rock n’ roll in her DNA.
Fireworks blasted off after the show, but their exploding power could not equal the band’s massive talent that vibrated throughout the crowd. If I ever get the chance to see them for a fourth time, I will.
