Pictures to follow, (they turned out pretty cool because I got a shot of him moving all over the place, not just standing stationary at the mic) but I finally got to see one of my favorite Rock Gods live... Lenny Kravitz!
The man is damn near 50 years old and he is talented, sexy and defines rock and roll. Leather vest, chains, tattoos, trademark sunglasses Extremely grateful to his fans, humble, everything I thought he would be.

Lenny walked the whole theater and sang in the crowd, shook hands smiled and talked back to his fans in the front row. Waved at every single section of the theater and we all sang along. He had cute little anoedotes, how happy he was to be back the US.
During ''Black & White America" a home movie of Lenny's childhood played in the background, pictures of Lenny from childhood to teenager,(a star in the making) pictures of his parents (the late Roxie Roker of the Jeffersons & movie/tv producer Sy Kravitz)
His band was incredible (same guitarist from his early days (Craig Ross) white guy with massive 'fro, saxofonist, trombone player, drummer from Chicago. Welcome to Chicago, Home of the Blues!
He looked like he was having so much fun and didn't want to leave. 15mins were called and he kept saying "We're not done playing yet''
Great encore of Let Love Rule, that seemed to last forever (definitely a good thing) There was not a single person in the crowd that wasn't participating singing each word "Leettt'' "Looooove'' ''Ruuule''
This show was well worth the wait. Soon after the concert Lenny posted on his facebook status ''Chicago, you Lifted Me.'' Thank you. Love Lenny.
Chicago Loves you too LK!
