  1. if anyone has, or knows of, an extra aluminum print from this show, PLEASE let me know. I will pay anything!! Im also interested in the paper version as well. THANKS!!
  2. show was ok. they could have played more from the new album, like, oh i dunno, ANYTHING!!! can't beat the thursday in the park free deal. a show and wings. mmmmmmmmmmm.
  3. screw y'all and your new fangled DVDs and blueberryraylightspecials and your hd1088's. i want a fucking coffee table book
  4. this happened to me ... sorta ... when I was a kid, our cottage got hit by lightening. we all actually saw the floresent blue current, almost in slow motion. it came down the metal chimney, thru the metal rod my dad was using to stoke the fire, out of my dad and across the room, and right over to my walkman which was plugged into the wall. none of us was hurt, other than being in shock for a while and wondering "did that just happen"? loudest thing I have ever heard ... and Ive been to a Tool concert! incredibly strong smell of ozone too. the walkman was toast. they exchanged it for a new one when i went back and told them it just stopped working. i didn't mention the lightening.
  5. she shouldn't drink so much water ...
  6. it would be cool to have a high quality coffee table book of photos of this tour. some really unique situations. someone please get on that
  7. i saw steve miller open for the dead decades ago, and was shocked to actually see someone who dressed more casually than bobby. some classic tunes.
  8. for all of your masturbatorial fantasies .... enjoy! personally, im not all that excited about lawnchairs, but to each their own ...
  9. yeah, and it would be better still if they had elvis on backing vocals and a troupe of trained seals balancing red and white plates on ten foot sticks ... but they don't. its a shame that so many people focus on what's 'missing' from this band than what's there. :crazy:
  10. you're thinking about reality ... well, you know, around here, at least ... fwiw, on point, i know some ethical rich people.
  11. simply put, los lobos is one of the best live bands ever. enjoy!

  13. you must have been in a very different pit than me. hell, you seem to have been at a completely different concert.
  14. i dont recall the gangbang. was it in the first or second set? love squirming coil encores!
  15. Pete's the man!! Thanks for continuing to endure oblivious venue staff, confused ushers, clueless fans (ARE YOU TAPING, MAN?!) and the gremlims that haunt recording gear to bring us these sweet sweet recordings!!
  16. [color:purple]pretty good considering it only holds 16,000 my guess is around 12K ... the lawn wasn't full full, nor were the 400s and 300s ... still a much bigger and better crowd than the last time they played there. an impressive turn-out and one that was appreciated by jack and meg judging by the smiles on their faces when they scanned the crowd and heard our various sing-alongs. the under-age quotient was much higher this time, which helped lower the drunkard factor - which was very good. biggest crowd on this tour, im sure. we were in the pit, about 30ft from the stage. i love being up close when seeing this band because you can see the expressions on their faces. its minimalist country punk blues rock theater at its finest with loads of sweaty distortion. meg is cute and perky while jack is frantic and a bit quirky. nothing all that special about the setlist - they seem to be running with a rather scripted list for this tour with only a few switches from show to show. still, i got my hotel yorba and my doorbell, but no blue orchid. oh well. the stage set-up was really cool. a simple red screen covered the entire backdrop, and giant sillouette projections of meg drumming or jack strumming graced it through-out. jack wandered up on to the catwalk a couple of times and strutted across, stomping up smoke as he crossed. if you dont like the colour red, dont go. everything is red from jack's outfit (and yes, the bulge is enormous!) to the maple leafs on the amps to the drum kit to the backdrop. even some of the mike stands are red. the ltd. ed print (/225) by print mafia is really cool too. they sold out quickly. 55 minute set, 35 minute "encore". overall ... 9/10
  17. ive taken a camera in there many times. i'd bring it. but be prepared to shove it in your underwear if you see them confiscating others', or just walk it back to the car (in your $20 parking space). once in, nobody will care.
  18. could be #3 or 4 or 5, have no idea. looks like a big production. they had 15 or so tractor trailers as well as a bunch of dressing room thingies. and lots of people with walkie talkies. all of which was in my way ...
  19. guilty ... but only because I couldnt find a good picture of "watching paint dry" ... my apologies to KD
  20. mock Nickelback all ya want, but with almost 25 million albums sold worldwide; four grammy nominations; ten billboard and american music award nominations, including four wins; twenty-one juno nominations with nine wins, and six number one hits in the US (8 in Canada) ... they're laughing all the way to the bank. without question, one of the most successful Canadian artist of all time. but then again, Phillip Morris sells a lot of this stuff too ...
