Jett knew how to work the crowd as evident with getting the fans involved in “Do You Wanna Touch Me” by having them chant “yeah, oh yeah,” There were little minor technical difficulties with the sound and equipment through out the night but the fans didn’t seem to mind. Songs such as “I Love Rock N’ Roll” and “Crimson and Clover” brought everyone off their seats with their hands up in the air, clapping,dancing in the aisle/by the stage and fist pumping.
High energy was in the in the air for their musical set. Kenny Laguna their keyboard player/tambourine player rounded out the Blackheart’s line up. Her band mates matched her Punk/Rock N’ Roll image with Thommy Price on drums, Acey Slade on bass and lead guitarist Dougie Needles. Looking great at 54 years young, Jett wore her trademark black outfit and black running shoes to accent her rebel nature after all these years in the Punk/Rock N’ Roll scene. Accent that with a preview of her new album and the song “Hard To Grow Up” For all the 80’s fans, The Runaway Fans and fans of Punk/Rock Music it was a blast from the past at Casino Rama for one night. It was soon swashed when Jett strutted around the stage and the view of the Casino Rama surroundings brought back reality to the present. The evening had a feeling of being in a basement or garage while watching and listening to this set of music. Jett still remembers her roots fondly and mentioned that “The Runaways” were her very first band and they performed “You Drive Me Wild” and “Cherry Bomb ” during the night. Next the band played “Cherry Bomb” which drew a loud roar from the predominately female fans clustering around the front stage. The band arrived on stage and opened up with “Bad Reputation” The audience immediately charged the front stage area with fist in the air and bopping up and down to the opening song. Joan Jett and The Blackhearts played a straight ahead no nonsense Rock N’ Roll concert during their 80 minute set at Casino Rama on Friday night.
