Okay.
I thought about posting a message that consisted of 10,000 lines of
HOLY SHIT, because I simply do not have the words. Easily one of the
best shows I have EVER seen. These guys were on FIRE, pummeling us
with a wall of 3 guitar sound. They had a two page setlist and they
damn near played it all, but the venue ran out of time. They played
from 12:30 till almost 2:00 am. Very little chit-chat, they only
stopped to ask each other what key the song was in (hey it's been 5
years since they played together) and to change a broken guitar strap
(!).
The front of the stage was lined up with SG101 members, I am proud to
say. My wife Shari, me, Ran, Dick, TFJ, Dano, Frodo, and Eric H (Surf
in Seattle?).
The evening was summed up for me when at one point I looked to my
left and caught Dano's eye. He just looked at me, nodding his head up
and down, with a big grin on his face, and we were both saying to
ourselves "O-H-H-H Y-E-A-H".
Fantastic song after fantastic song, all high energy, the house was
packed and everyone was SCREAMING and dancing like maniacs! It was
insane! So many killer songs, I don't know where to even begin. We
took a photo of the setlist, so we will post that later. I just
remember being stunned as they opened with Vampiro, then Plymouth
Rock, and then Que Honda before even taking a breath. WOW!!! They
ended with an insane version of the Lively Ones Tranquilizer. I can't
even begin to describe the songs in between. Just awesome SP song one
after the other....
They even brought their organ with the humongous leslie rotating
speaker cabinet!!! The cab was the size of a small refrigerator that
glowed with tubes!
We had some camera issues which we will correct tonight (some of the
pics are somewhat grainy), but we took lots of photos and video
clips. Some teaser pics have been uploaded to the Photo section on
the Yahoo group site in the folder "Satan's Pilgrims 2005".
Got to boogie on down to Portland shortly....
Special thanks to Ran, Dick, 3 of the Nebulas (who are a f'in riot to
hang out with), and Eric H (so glad to finally meet you).
Much more later!
