Sunshine Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 if i could just wrap you all up in how im feeling right now you'd have a better understanding of what i'd really like to say... believe me, you'd love it, its beautiful and full of nothing but love for a great many people and a few in particular. I think you could speak for many of us when you say those words! All i'm going to say at this point is it was a great night!! Thank you Nero for everything!!

scottieking Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 The night was so fantasic, start to finish. Driven by pure energy and emotion, both band and crowd were surging, driving, straight from song one. My overwhelming thought all night was GRANDSLAM. I Whispy Downside Johnny Joe> Basheeba Holetown Charlie Peaches Solid start. LOVE the Johnny Joe, had never heard that one but thick and juicy. II Zedonk> Auld Lang> Zedonk Year of... Black Betty*> Voodoo Lady*> Bolero*> Voodoo Lady* 401> Centragnome> RLH> Centragnome> Dr. Who> 401 AHAHAHAHAHHHHHH! Mind boggling. Ween so fun. Monster 401 with the first Dr. Who I've heard since my first Whipping Post Bootleg. * with Velvet III Breakline CMM> Miko Darius Lemondust> St. Thomas> Lemondust Sgt. Peppers e: Condor> Steppin' Out> Condor The last setlist was an emotional rollercoaster and executed with, without hyperbole, unprecedented energy and build. Dance like it's your last and pray that it wouldn't be. Thanks go to all the Ottawa crew who, as usual extended nothing but hospitality to me. Thanks especially to all the hosts of all the get-together's I attended. Thanks to the Nero extended fans and family who hugged and shared and made this more than just a New Year's party. And to the band, from a dusty afternoon set in Durham, across the province and back, with a dozen good times in between, Jay, Dave, Shane, Chris, Todd, your music will always stay with me but our friendships will be your greatest legacy. See you soon. Love Scottieking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOutGuy Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Well i gotta say that I had a great New Years with great friends but there was still a little emptiness in not being able to say good bye to you guys for the time being ( hopefully)... Nero has brought so much joy and happiness into my life and others around me... thank you for all the great times... the many 401 theme dedications and your general kindness and generosity...

ollie Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Having a hard time saying something myself. That was just flat out awesome. Mavericks finally felt like home. Musical highlight for me was "The Year Of...". Damn, that song is just coming into its own. Check it out... Whitey lost his pants!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Wow, thanks for posting pictures guys and gals. It's very hard to look at them without the ol' eyes welling up. It was such an emotional night. Dave said that everything good in his life is because of nero, and I know so many people who feel the same way, I sure do. I will miss the fantastic music, the amazing energy, the fun parties and the whole event that was nero. Thanks to Pat for having us over pre-show and thanks to Hux for my great new T-shirt. From the very first note, the room was dancing and smiling. I can't believe how quickly the show went by. All that music was over in a flash so fast it barely feels like I was there. Thanks to 40 Main for a great after-party. I know it's been a while since I was last there, I hope it won't be so long again. To whomever decorated - GREAT JOB! After picking my Bouchey up off the ground for the third time, we decided to leave as the sun was coming up and we walked along the canal towards the Market. It was a beautiful way to say hello to the new year. The whole night couldn't have been any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
