slavetothegroove Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I haven't felt that much energy in a bar in a long, long time. The jams were great, and EVERYONE was getting down. I really hope that we get to see Nero rock out once again. Big time agree! The energy was so surreal, everyone had good vibes radiating from them, and the music just engulfed the whole room. This definitely can't be the end, I'm sure those boys haven't felt so ecstatic on stage in a while. Thank you boys, memorable moment in history. Here's one of mattm's price shots. Ciao Steph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattm Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) Look at that smile on dave, though, isn't it cute. It's nice to see someone enjoying themselves so much making such sweet, sweet music. Edited January 17, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 My "official" nero review isn't going well. I'm thinking of scrapping it, maybe because I found the nights so void of distractions musically, that the gigs felt like seeing nero in their heyday.

balogna pogna Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Wow!So many of my favorite folks, music and goodtimes crammed into too short a time. Maybe next time the reunion shows should be spread out over a week (or a long weekend). Thanks to Ottawa for your hospitality and kindness and looking forward to the next one.And thanks to nero and the video and audio tapers....I can't wait to watch when that is available.

guigsy Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 well, it's now early wednesday a.m., and i still havent found a proper way to put this all in perspective, i dont think - but since i've been up for a couple hours and not even the bong will help me back to sleep, let me give this a try... first of all, i've had a shit eating grin on my face since about belleville. on the way up. i remember saying to scottie at one point that there's enough people travelling up that damn highway for these shows that they better open with 401. if not, it could potentially ruin my weekend. thanks for not ruining my weekend, guys. but think about it... so many chapters of nerodom gathered in one place.... i think chatham had a representative from just about every city, but we (team london) represented... there was team k/w, guelph, hamilton, team toronto, peterborough came to play, folks from kingston, likely quebec, and i know the maritimes were out in full force with folks from fredericton, moncton, saint john, and the island. and then of course, there's the home team. team ottawa. what a party. so, you have all these people converging on one place, for 2 nights, to see these 3 guys play their music that they havent played for 2 years. that's a lot of miles, but not really. not for this. what's more is that's a lot of power in that music to get those wheels moving, i think. to bring all those people together. 2 sold out nights, there was some serious energy in that bar. the music itself, what we were all there for, was incredible. i went up expecting them to be sharp and wanting to play good shows, not just play for the sake of playing, but i dont know if i expected them to be quite that good. really, i mean, 2 years off? they hit their changes, controlled their tempo well, and just plain tore the roof off the fuckin' place! friday night was a huge rock show with stuff like the year of... and medicated. holy shit, medicated. one of my favourite moments of friday was standing behind tungsten during medicated and watching him get his head blown off. that shit was so heavy. a half hour condor? thank you. i liked the dead flowers cover, totally un-nero, but a great tune. i dont know what i can say about the saturday night... i was totally immersed in the music from start to finish, at times their sound was just like this perfect little couch for me to sink into.. i dont think i ever stopped moving, whether dancing or swaying and spacing... i loved it. the entire 2nd set was amazing. and i thought the new tune in the first set sounded kinda 'slippy', especially towards the end, so of course i welcomed that. i just really thought these were 2 great shows musically that also felt like a lot more personally - there arent many bands that do that, and for a while we'd lost one. it was good to have 'em back for a weekend. here's to another one down the road! :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottieking Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Wow. I think Guigsy nailed lock, stock and barrel. That being said, I could not haved asked for a more soul reviving experience. I am filled to the brim. Thanks to everyone who asked how Diane is doing. Night 1 was a little rough for her but we were joking that night 2 was so good it had healing powers. It certainly had unbelievable energy! I know that this show had to be just as incredible for the band. Thank-you to Nero for working so hard. It honestly sounded like you had taken two years off....to practice!Thanks also to all our hosts this weekend. Great to catch up. Special thanks to all native Otowners, I love to see you folks that take such good care of Sunshine. Hope to be back up sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edger Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Glad to hear everyone had such a great time, and were able to live up to the hype.It is pretty rare and special opportunity when the mix of timing, place, people and circumstance allows for the creation of a nice, cozy, little community that knows how to boogie...Always good to hear that pockets are thriving throughout our vast and barren land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam by ryan, sound by bradm.This is the very start of the first night and only one cam so far. It's pretty dark, a la mavericks, but still great.

Freeker Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Just wanted to say thank you to nero for putting on two of the best shows I've ever seen and in the process creating one of the funnest party weekends in a long time. Also big thanks to all those who made the trek up for the shows. It was awesome to have all my favorite people from SoOn and the east coast together in one spot, that needs to happen more often. Hope everyone made it home ok and i hope everyone has almost recovered, god knows we're still working on it.Now back to watching the maids clean the house ...ahh life is good.
