UB40

We saw UB40 perform at the final show of the 37th Heineken Regatta. We had purchased tickets ($20) when we arrived in St Maarten as I had read about the concert previously. The tickets showed a start time of 5PM. We assumed they would have a warmup band or two so we showed up at 5:30 at the stage set up on Kimsha Beach. Fortunately there was a dinghy dock within 100 ft of the entrance which made it really easy to get there.
Turns out they had a DJ as an (initial) warm up, then a regatta awards ceremony for two hours, then three warmup bands. It ended up being a few minutes before midnight before UB40 was ready to take the stage. At that moment the skies opened up and it started pouring. Fortunately the rain was short lived and didn't dampen (pun intended) the crowds excitement.
They came on about 12:10 and put on a fantastic show other than a power outage that shut the show down for 15 minutes about 20 minutes into it. Ali Campbell has returned as the lead singer after a separation for a number of years. The songs sounded as great as ever and the band was really tight; no sloppiness at all. The UB40 portion of the concert finished at 2AM at which time we departed but we could hear the DJ going at it long after we got back to the boat.
