hello,
it's me, Nate here, and I don't usually take the time to
write reviews because basically they're all opinions, and like assholes,
everybody has one, but I was inspired to write mostly because of the
stellar observations of another reviewer (Steve Stevens) first of all I
can't believe we were at the same concert, I thought it was a great
show, the band was tight, everybody shined in their solo spots, and I
have never heard Todd 's voice sound better. I don't know how many
concerts Steve goes to, but sound mixes are a bear to control, I've been
in situations where the club had their own mixer who refused to let the
band sound mixer touch anything, instead they would have to stand next
to the club mixer and feed him the cues, and I thought the days of union
control were long gone, and speaking of cheap ass motherfuckers, how is
it that Mr. Stevens never pays for a Todd show, is it that he is a music
critic who gets into all the shows for free, or does he know some people
at the clubs to get him in for free, and is it possible that because of
people like him, the rest of us wind up paying more for our concert
tickets, I don't know, but what I do know is that personal attacks do
not belong in an objective concert review, (how does it feel to be on
the receiving end Stevie?) and I love the part " I'm glad I didn't pay
to get in or I'd be pissed", well you sound pretty pissed anyway, so
it's nice to know that along with conditional love you're also blessed
with conditional hate and anger, sounds like you have a pretty full
plate Steve! As far as Todd's song selection, I don't know if you
noticed Mr. S but almost the whole show had a slight political bend to
it and "lunatic fringe" seems to be Todd's view on where the government
is at this particular point in time, go figure, but I digress, this was
my wife's first show and she had a great time, and I loved kasim's solo
where he threw in parts of "last of the new wave riders", "hammer in my
heart" and the "seven rays", a real mindblower, thank you kasim, and
thank you todd and all the liars that made this show possible.
See Steve, I loved the show and I even paid to get in, that's what keeps
me honest.
