    I wonder what songs were dropped

              Oh man...I'm going through withdrawal. Almost two weeks since I've seen them. Hope for a second leg and maybe a show in my neck of the woods. They last played here in 81 for Fair Warning.

                    OH FUCK YES ---- this tour is heating up again ---- just in time for Pittsburgh this Friday which I'm attending (2nd show this tour)

                    I'm planning on taking my new $500 Sony HD camcorder with motion stabilization ---- sick of the shaky cell phone footage ---- just hope the security asswipes don't hassle me.

                    Steel City will be rockin' if they keep "Blood and Fire" and "Jamie's Cryin" ---- maybe they can add "Stay Frosty" and "Take Your Whiskey Home" !!!

                        I did something similar to a "hat-cam" on the 1998 Van Cherone tour ---- I snuck in a very small mini-DV camcorder and recorded footage while a tour t-shirt was draped over my head ---- security never saw me and I recorded about 4 songs (once the sun went down).

                        This is back in the day when all cameras were forbidden ---- and I would've have gone apeshit if some security asshole tried to confiscate my $1000 camera.

                          Guys..I am exhausted I will post online tomorrow. But the show was incredible. I so envy whoever is going 'again'. Complete surprise, but I have to say my favs in order are Reading, AC then Philly. I had great seats perhaps that is why..but everything about the show including Blood & Fire and J cryin it was really great. I have to figure out a way to get to another show...After 3 in about 3 weeks, you would think that is enough considering the setlists are fairly similar...BUT they are so spot on, it is like a addiction....

                          Till tomorrow...

                            For Diver Down tour at Forum had 2nd row center and palmed Cannon A-1, while being frisked kept it high in back and waved other hand to keep him off point at 6'2" pulled it off. Knew I was gonna get shook down and as soon as we got to seats guy made me open and obliged with the old roll I knew would be gone. Had 2 other rolls strategically placed. Half into show tried n got popped again. But for encore pulled out last and went to town with 400 film. You can see VH security ready to pounce but enough people rushed the barrier and they were too busy to get me. Got some killer ones for film and tough shooting, quick up and downs as I could. Very proud I pulled it off and few years back shared with Zloz at his studio and even He was impressed!

                            The goofy Dave tour with Mambo Slammers in Vegas was funny. You sat at tables of 8 and in very front had snuck in best Sony at the time. Sat it on table and had entire show going under jacket. Dave got a funny look near end and ran off stage right. Next thing I know Big Ed was tapping my shoulder, come the fuck with me.
                            We went around side of stage and he went into verbal assault bout charges and Raged. Took my tape Hi8, was the shit at the time, And camera! He wanted me thrown out! Went back to enjoy last couple minutes of show with all peeps jaw dropped at what just happened. One of them had walked up during rage to calm him down sayin we drove in from LA for fun not to ruin great night.
                            After was kinda sick thing lost a grand and my tape, went to concierge and luckily it was there but the info I gave Big Ed had to be what was givin to him, had ID and was straight up, got the bitch back!

                            To this day can't understand what was so bad, I was in no way going to try and sell, no such media as YouTube not even an Internet crept for bulliten board style. Just wanted to enjoy Dave from his show. I do remember that tur was never seen as a good move from most fans let alone industry. Friend I was with used to be a KNAC DJ and word was this was bad move for Dave back then. He had just cut his hair off and was playing all together new style of music for Dave in those days, but it was Dave and I enjoyed it"........all I know is I'd put money that once they watched it, they said this was well done & either Dave or Ed still have it to this day.

                            Light Up the Sky! Now I will have to see every SoCal show to not miss a single nugget. Blood & Fire was highlight at Forum last month and it's great knowing they are listening, Trouble with Never is not that great live, BnF and Stay Frosty instead of China Town is way to go. The Take Your Whiskey, Fools, Sinners Swing and In a Simple Rhyme will be in the sets by June. At this point they might even throw in Loss of Control to show us this ones for Us.

                            Thank you VH for the perfect disc, shows, sets and giving us what we want! This shit makes me smile while our family is in final days of Moms battle of 'C'. All VH from before Christmas to now has taken been perfect to brighten the days.
