A little late but

I saw them live last night, went through hell to do it though. The first time I'd even heard they were here was that morning, checked ticket master, and they weren't listed, cheacka few tour web sites nothing about a monday show. Checked the pavilion website, no listing, got off went there, asked people who worked there, and yes he was there but they would sell me tickets cause it was special show but they gave me a number that might. I call the number 30 seconds later I have tickets FOR FREE! It was some weird gorf-spirit- charity thingey, had to sit through an hour and a half of Gosspil choir, bible verses, and golf crap, but he and the News finally came out.

Best hour ina half of my life in a long time. It may not have been the flashy-est show but it kicked shell. A few songs I didn't recognise, but it didn't have any filler really, no lull, the whole show was pure energy, all the classics, Jacobs ladder, I want a new drug, Heart and Soul, Back in time, Hip to be square. A few acapelas- 60 minute man and under the board walk (first time I'd heard them do those), but no it's alright

. The end kicked butt, must have just been 3 minutes of him on the harmonica with teh drummer (had abit of a trail feel) going straight in to Working for a living.

They may have gotten older, but I put them ahead of must of the band out there today

And if anyone here is in teh forthworth area, go see him tonight you won't regret it
