I couldn't make it there but my friend Petri did and was quite impressed. He said Hot Toe played 100+ mins; the set list included at least Varo ihminen from JG's repertoire, some Suvanto's numbers and covers from Santana, Dylan, Procol Harum, and Ray Charles. There was circa 50 persons witnessing the gig. Pete was very impressed about Nylund's delicate guitar playing but reportedly Suvanto's drumming wasn't too fluent this time.
