Following 2 rounds of chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant from his sister, McMahon is in remission and his prognosis is good.
The concert was a complete set of the songs from Everything in Transit, the first album by Andrew McMahon's solo project, Jack's Mannequin. At one point during the concert rock legend Tommy Lee joined him onstage.
