Social D put in a great show celebrating the 40th Anniversary of ‘Mommy’s Little Monster.’ Mike Ness and Co. also played some of their greatest numbers starting the show with “Bad Luck”. The band also played “Ball and Chain” and after an hour finished with two encores of Johnny Cash covers “Folsom Prison Blues” and “Ring of Fire”. It was my 13 y.o. son’s first concert experience and he is now a Social Distortion fan. The night was cool, breezy and for the last two numbers a light drizzle fell as the crowd sang along with Mike. Great show, great experience.

The House of Blues provided a great venue for an evening of good music provided by Will Hoge and Social Distortion. Both bands sounded great. A large number of fans including myself were disappointed that Social Distortion decided not to include many of their biggest hits. I understand that it must be exhausting to plan the same hits year after year but your fans and paying customers want this. The pay their hard earned money to hear these sounds. If the musician is tired or playing it, retire. The hits made you stars, so show some gratitude by playing the hits.
