I had the great luck of winning tickets to Eddie Trunk’s 30th Anniversary party which took place this past Wednesday at the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC.  It was the greatest concert? party? concert party? I’ve ever attended.

Great performances, killer jams.  So many musicians there I couldn’t even count.  Sammy Hagar even came by with his band to say congrats to Eddie.  He didn’t perform.  He just went backstage.

Ace and Peter Criss performed for the first time in 13 years.  Members of Twister Sister, Stryper, Trixter, Queensryche, Lita Ford.  It was insane.
