I visited a church in Colorado that impressed me like that. It was on top of a hill. You climbed a path to get to it.
On the path were bronze statues at different points called the twelve stations of the cross. One of the more moving
things I've seen in my life. Surely not like what you described but moving none the less. This from a person who
hates religion. I'll look for pictures I have and post them. Take care.

I'm not talking about being there during service, just going in there when it is just you and this big empty place of beauty and grace.
To sit alone in a grand or ancient church just puts you at ease. I've seen long abandoned Churches and have walked the building, (and gone places a lady should not be allowed) its facinating. To be told by someone your not allowed in the area you are standing is even funnier.
There is an island off the coast of Greece that Only men are allowed to go. It is said that Mary, Jesus's mother, was given Domain over this island because it was so beautiful. Only men can tour it (they even have passports issued for the island), there is still a monistery there, but only one woman stepped foot on it, and she was ordered back off by a vision of Mary. Believe it or not!

Any shrinks in the house have an opinion on this.

Dude, you gave me goosebumps with that one. The closing shot before the close-up
was about how far back I was. Pittsburgh Civic Arena, 1982. My second Priest show.
I think the nostalgia is what gave me the goosebumps. Peace! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Brian_Evans from Sunday, April 25, 2010 3:58:03 PM)

Hey Budred check this out. One of my favorite Priest live tunes of all time although I think it would have been better if Glenn & KK had dropped the backup vocals. lol! . I'm sure you saw them perform this a few times with all shows you've been to over the years.

One last comment about that whole church thing. Why would Mary be a woman hater????

Thanks for the post. I saw on Amazon that they were doing pre-orders for $69.99. I didn't
want to spend that much when I only want the DVD. I already have British Steel on vinyl and cd
and didn't care to purchase it again. The link you provided listed the cost at $15.98 and $29.98
for the two versions available. The amazon version must be something different. I'll check it again.
Thanks again. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Wednesday, April 21, 2010 7:30:11 AM)
