    Firstly..... I'm off to the show at St. Andrews in a few minutes!
    Wish me luck in meeting the band!
    Hope to see some 'jammers there!

    Secondly.....
    Has anybody ordered from Kiss The Stone?
    I'm seriously thinking of getting Mind Control, but I haven't heard any
    feedback on this place.

    Trial Of Tears
    Encore:
    Metropolis/Learning To Live/ACOS VIII medley

    the Have A Cigar/Hot For Teacher/Enter Sandman, etc. stuff thrown in there too
    and
    someone said they did Paradigm Shift from LTE but i dont have it yet so ill
    take their word for it. No Nightmare Cinema, have they done that at all on
    this tour?

    I liked hearing Anna Lee, it sounded really good (i dont know why yall hate it
    so much). i was very glad to get to hear Trial Of Tears, it is such a great
    tune, and it sounded WONDERFUL. everything was great, they all just run
    together in my mind.
    id say Lines In The Sand was my favorite after ToT, i just live how that song
    translates live. its so powerful.

    i was really impressed with how many people were there, this was the same
    venue Fates Warning played at when i last saw them and there werent nearly as
    many people as i recall. when we pulled up to the club the line was just
    HUGE. glad to see a great turnout for the band. i really hate shows at
    annies though, its got the lowest ceiling, you feel claustrophobic in there.
    mike didnt even use his drum riser. its also extremely HOT in there with so
    many people crammed in. although the floor is sunken down a bit, it was so
    packed with people that my usual area to watch from (back by the soundboard -
    im too short to even attempt the floor most of the time) i couldnt see
    ANYTHING. too many people in front of me. most of the people in the back
    were standing on chairs throughout the whole show.

    the biggest surprise to me actually was how well Full On The Mouth was
    received by the crowd. when i heard their clips i was convinced they would be
    treated worse than Big Wreck was, i felt bad for the band thinking what would
    be waiting for them. But people really liked them, they got lots of applause
    after every song. Big Wreck was basically ignored when i saw DT in columbus.
    i find that strange, just based on their styles, id think Big Wreck would be
    more a DT fan type band. I didnt hate FOTM, they were ok. Kind of an odd
    White Zombie type band with more singing and not as heavy, more techno - ish.
    They were ok.

    I forget who posted about it the treatment of opening bands, but i totally
    agree, just BE KIND to the opener, it really pisses me off that with so many
    MUSICIANS in the crowd that people treat the opener bad. of all people who
    should be polite and understanding, WE should.

    Hi again. I am heading out to Los Angeles for the first week of June and I
    was wondering if anyone knew of any concerts happening out there. I am hoping
    to catch a few shows on Sunset Blvd while I'm out there, if it still exists.

    Shootin' The Breeze, a quasi-rap song I recorded almost 4 years ago.
    Those of you in ack mode, wait about 30 minutes before you try to

    For the start, I`m glad we agree that there`s more to PD than pure
    stealing.
    I obvioulsy misjudged you in my reply, please accept my deep apology.
    Because
    of the nature of your post and some other jammers, I ASSUMED that you
    hate rap
    and therefore judge something that you can`t be objective to at all. My
    wrong
    and I apologise. But I still stand at my words that there`s lack of
    tolerance
    towards some music styles (like rap in this case). I didn`t say that ALL
    jammers
    are musical snobs, that would be absurd ofcourse. I still think these
    guys really
    know music and share simmilar taste with me. That`s why I bother reading
    tons of
    nonesense to get through to some really inspiring stuff. ;)
    I`ll ASSUME again...you`r from Milan right? Damn I wish I knew you
    earlier, cause
    I`d be delighted to buy you a beer before or after the DT show in Milan
    or Pordenone.
    Heck, we`ll do it next year :)

    Yep like a lot of 'official' live albums out there, they don't seem to
    capture
    the right spirit of DT's live show, having said that LatM does contain
    some
    great material.

    Wow. Intelligence. You know, I'd heard of peacefully settling an argument,
    but I'd never actually seen it happen. Both of these people were completely
    civil to each other and resolved their difference of opinion with no bad
    taste in the mouth! Note the time and the date, someone.

    While flames are fun to read, this was actually interesting. Cool.

    Okay, I saw on the jam that the Sunday HOB show was rescheduled from 7:30p to 9p, or something. What's up with that? Is it true?

    Have you ever been experienced? With DT at HOB, that is. Are we non-moshing fans going to be a little battered bruised by some midnight hysteria? That would be no big surprise, but I'm kind of hoping that I can just stand there in front of JP and watch him play at Stage right without bringing my shoulder pads and knee braces.

    I like evolution as well, but these albums aren't helping. I'm pretty bored with Sting, Pink Floyd, U2, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers precisely because of their new stuff. If Sting had kept with the Police, if PF had kept making albums that measured up to WISH YOU WERE HERE, the Chili Peppers hadn't lost their horns (I listen to Freaky Styley many times more than their newest), U2 hadn't gone to corp-pop (not that I was a really BIG fan of "War," but I like it ok), well, I'd buy their albums.

    (aside: I'm not really a big fan of Atom Heart Mother, but on the other hand "Astronomy Domine" off the first album is the best Floyd song ever written.
