Hey guys,
(Good to see you Soy... how's it going in the east...??? )
I really hate to say it (I know, I'm going to hell...), but 'Save your Money'. Especially in this day and age. Save it to see Priest ... twice...
Oh boy, well, mostly they played shit from their new album, which pales in comparison to "Nostradamus" -- so I can only hope Priest gets their due at the Grammies. I have a thought, "the bands should be forced to play live to get an award". Priest would win, hands down. It's obvious (at this show anyway... but the Saddledome has had pretty good sound compared to a lot of other venues I've been to across the country), that the recording studio does Metallica a lot of favours they can't get away with on stage.
Whatever songs they 'did' play that people were waiting for, was indistinguishable -- and even I got lost at times! It was a garbled mess. They played something of Master 'o Puppets, but a lot of the stuff I had gone to hear was not played. Colley, who just loves the 'idea' of a concert and will always find some reason to like it, was "Did we just see a concert? That was Metallica?" Poor guy was never more disappointed, but never more proud to be a Priest fan.
We tried converting some pedestrians in the parking lot with our JP music -- guess we'll find out in the spring if the RV has blown speakers, or not... Some young kid broke from the crowd and came running up to us, yelling "I saw Priest last year! They were awesome!" We told him of our trip to Vegas, etc. and I'll bet his eyes weren't that bright and excited during the concert that he had just seen.
