Warming  up  the  audience  was  The  Effect,  which  channeled  a

                Journey and Toto vibe and served a piping hot musical entrée to
                the fans of Billy Idol. The crowd began to buzz with anticipation,

                knowing they were about to witness a true rock icon in action.


                The Effect was fairly unknown to the Tucson crowd. I kept hearing

                people behind me yelling, “Who are you?” I didn’t find out until
                Billy Idol thanked them. On top of that I had been talking to them

                days  after  the  show,  and  it  turned  out  I  was  talking  to  Trev
                Lukather and Nic Collins, Steve Lukather and Phil Collins’ kids.
