Food, Drinks before the 40 watt show!!!

Don’t forget to ask Dave about Mass? Or ask them maybe about the tribute concert.

Saw the show tonite. Fuckin’ fantastic. Kevn Kinney was there and he thought it was beautiful, because it was. It didn’t SEEM loud as usual J, but my ears are ringing so it must have been deceptive. J and Dave Schools were made for each other. Never heard Schools on a four string before but he used it well. He filled in the space that J’s flanger creates. I used to think they expanded Dino tunes that always SCREAMED to be extended and J smiled a ton while he was playing.

The drummer from the Tom Collins was fantastic too. J played a ton of old stuff and very few Fog tunes. It was transcendent; they balanced and expanded each others strengths so well.

It was so danceable. It was so movey. And the crowd was just big enough to give great energy without being smashed into each other: a perfect size to dance and tonite they made it danceable as strange as that sounds.

Just fuckin’ amazing.

They all just fit together so well. The bass actually mattered tonite. Granted I never saw J play with Watt but I know Watt and as good as that must have been it had to have been different than what Schools does. Schools adds little fill ins and flares without being intrusive and he knows how, because this is what Panic does, extend time and space musically so that J can run and play and let loose without having to worry whether his "backing" can keep up.

I always intuited back in the early nineties without being able to articulate it or even really ever think it that it really is all one song. The synthesis was just perfect.

If you get a chance to get a tape, take it.

You’ll then understand how great this show was.

hey big chief, thanks a big lot for the review, it’s so great to hear that the three Fog guys match so awesome on stage, and that they seem to have lots of fun themselves (and the crowd, too)

I’d love so much to see them!

[rambleon]

cool … so glad to hear you had a great time + they (on stage) did too … can’t wait to get the chance to see the new fog lineup myself …

btw, did anyone tape this ?

[rambleon]
