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,

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.
