Loving all the reports back from Louder than Life! Sounds like a fabulous time was had by all. I think the setlist gives me an idea of what to expect when I see them at the Soundwave festival in February - they'll play 45 minutes - 1 hour, something like that? Not sure yet.
LOVE BITES is the other song they didn't play. They could have not done the sing along whoa whoa whoa and played Love Bites. Rob seemed unhappy about being rushed through the set. He really wanted to talk to the crowd but was unable to due to time - they only allowed Priest to play for 65 minutes. At one point, Rob looked over to the side stage and asked if he was allowed to talk saying, "Do I have time to talk?" Rob seemed dead set on proving just WHY he is THE ONE AND ONLY METAL GOD! He went for the highs with everything he had. Did he hit them all? No and I don't expect him to, but he hit most of them and when he did, the crowd ROARED with appreciation!! Rob was constantly moving - the back surgery obviously has done him wonders and he is able to move pain free again which is wonderful to see! He did not stand in front of the teleprompter, rather glanced at the words if he needed to and then looked up at the crowd to sing the words. I have always been impressed with Rob's humility and the fact that he is always a gentleman. He never puts others down in order to build himself up because he is strong and confident in himself and he lets his performance speak for itself. So for me this performance was a direct answer to both Paul Di'Anno and Bruce Dickinson's negative comments about him. All I have to say to Paul and Bruce is: JEALOUS MUCH??!!
It was a FANTASTIC weekend! We had an absolute BLAST! It was an honor to be a part of such a great group of people. We truly are a metal family here on the Board.
We made it home safely, stopping at a Waffle House for breakfast and Bilbo's in Portage for dinner. Damn I miss my Hobbit Stix and dill dip being so close in East Lansing!! Glad to see you made it home safe and sound!

Just made it back home after the concert. GREAT!!! However, freezing cold and they played a VERY short setlist. No Jawbreaker, BTROD, Defenders of the Faith, March of the Damned and a few more that they did in New York. I am sure the rest of the posse can fill in some more. I'd have to look at the setlist myself to be sure but I am tired.
To the 11 or so of us who made it there, I hope you all made it home safely! Whatta blast!!! Great show, all in all. Can't wait until Detroit to "hopefully" see the full NY set.
JD. Could be your phone. You should see the link that says "Inbox" right above "Member:.... /Emai: .... " If you don't see THOSE, then my money is on the phone causing the error.
