Long story short: Alice in Chains took me by surprise, they were really really solid. They played the 3 songs I like (Nutshell, Angry Chair and Would?), and they played Would? incredibly slow and stoner-y, it was beautiful.

And FNM is just out of this world. What an incredible band, and the connection and intimacy they have with Chile is beyond absurd. Their performance of KFAD, with Trey Spruance on guitar, had some shaky moments, but they made it work. And we got a huge rarity: Absolute Zero.

Love that band. Love it.

Yeah I was at the SF show last year when Trannyshack opened up for them and FNM killed it. I flew out there for it because I wanted to see them so bad. Saw them in '92 when I was 11 as well and I have to say that last year's show was a lot better because I appreciated the music a lot more and they played a longer set.

Oh, and Duff McKagan joined Alice in Chains on guitar for Rooster.

I remember laughing inside, thinking "should I be excited because an ex-member of Jane's Addiction is onstage?"

Monster Magnet, November 28th - Antwerp

This must be my 10th Monster Magnet concert if I count right. It's a band that really knows how to kick ass, even now that Dave Wyndorf is a real fatass.

Saw the goth father-Peter Murphy- tonight W/She Wants Revenge... :rockon:

Peter Murphy still looks and sounds good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The venue was totally packed. Doors opened at 8, my friends and I got there about 8:30 cuz we wanted to snag some seats(we're old) but the place was already 3/4 full!!

I didn't see anything posted from the Lee'sPalace show in Toronto yet...but here's Ziggy from lat night's show in NYC.

It's official...Radiohead will be playing here in April next year. Hope I can get a ticket for that show, and for a better seat, wish me luck!

He had some snug fitting trousers on tonight too. They really enhanced his package. I only noticed once I put my glasses on... :lol:

Man, Prince showed the fans some love last night...3+ hours he played! 6 encores! I just checked for tickets for tonight's show and there are still some left for about$80 in a decent area. They must have just released them because for the last couple of weeks this price range was available only up in the rafters. The problem is that none of my friends want to go because it's at a large venue. :eyes:

I really want to go, so I think I should just buy a ticket and go! :rockon:

Also, pay whatever it costs to see Prince.

I have gone 3 times and every single one ranks among the best shows I have ever seen. His band is 100% professionals who can BRING IT

Prince is probably the weirdest kind of sexy guy I've ever seen.

The show was FANTASTIC!! It was my 4th time to see Prince, and as usual he did not disappoint. No Maceo though...he had another concert engagement. :noclue:
The show was shorter only 2 encores. I didn't mind I was still very happy. :bigrin:

The set list was pretty similar with a few differences. He opened the show with GOLD which was a nice surprise. As well, Mountains, Shhh, Alphabet St, a few others I can't think of at the moment. I was chatting with a couple who were at the Friday night show and they said last was a totally different show. Friday was more of a dance party and Sat night was more of a guitar night. Apparently he had ad more energy last night(the man is truly a tireless music machine) than the night before...band was tighter.

Here is a vid from youtube..I was sitting in the 4th row from the floor section almost at the point of the arrow. I found out too they dropped the prices to sell more tickets.




Here's the set list:

Gold
Purple Rain
Let's Go Crazy
Delirious
Let's Go Crazy (reprise)
1999
Shhh w/ You will be with me
Mountains
Everyday People w/ Love Rollercoaster
Alphabet St
Play that funky music
Angel
Nothingompares 2 U
Crimson and Clover w/ Waiting in vain
Controversy w/ I Like Funky Music chant, Housequake chant
Sexy Dancer w/ Get down tonight
Controversy (reprise)

Encore 1

Little red corvette w/ Extra lovable
Take me with U
Raspberry Beret
Cream
Cool w/ Don't Stop til you get enough

Encore 2

Sampler Set
When Doves Cry
Nasty Girl
Sign o the times
TMBGITW
I Would die 4 U
Darling Nikki
Hot Thing

Kiss

I don't know what a Lacuna Coil is. Motorhead will probably be fun. I saw Megadeth (there's no second "a") in what must have been 1989. It was with Testament and Judas Priest. I went with other people - the ticket was free. :noclue:

I don't know how to spell metal-band names. I'm pretty sure there's an umlaut somewhere in Motorhead, too. Lacuna Coil are some sort of goth band. I don't have a clue why they are on the bill. I'm invited to the show but I don't have a ticket. Haven't decided whether it's worth it or not.

A few months ago I had the chance to see Prince play one of his famous unannounced gigs here in The Netherlands. Didn't go. Still regret it :cona:

The Electric Six gig was great though. Like you said, it was one big dance party!

I saw him once in 1990. He was very good, but still not worth the £18.50 ticket price TWENTY ONE years ago.

It's been an exhausting run but finally got a short day and some time to waste on the ol' internets...



Last night's highlight



Glen looks like Sam Kinnison to me... :lol:



Rob Halford, still metal after all these years.



One of my personal favorites from the run. :rockon:



For the super geeks - all the living original members on stage together performing the first song ever recorded under the band's name.

Tomorrow, back to work at the studio... :yeay:
