Cool!Do you have the setlist in your mind?How many people have been there?
I've just got back home after an exhausting 12 hour drive, whew!
I really can't remember the whole setlist, but I'll try to remember as much songs they've played (but not in a running order).
Fate's Triumph
Black
Tyranny
Shadow Thief
Future Shock
Iron Eagle
Chain Of Command
King At A Price
Frozen In Fear
The Mission (1943)
Licensed To Kill
Generally Hostile
As you can see, only one song from the latest album and no Take To The Sky (one of the live favs, I suppose). The last two songs were in fact encores and the show lasted surprisingly short, a little bit over an hour. It was all finished to 1am, I suppose the club had a permit only until that hour. The show was supposed to start at 9pm, but there was a half hour delay, which is the amount of time in which JP could've played the rest of the setlist, on which I saw many more songs other than the ones they played there....
The attendance didn't reach not even hundred people by my estimation, but the atmosphere was over the top, at least as far as I'm concerned.
I really dig that intimate atmosphere and the direct contact with the band. The stage was really small and the instruments weren't put through the P.A. at all, only the voice mics used the P.A. But the sound was really good, the bands had/shared really good equipment. And it's not like you often get the chance to see the frontman helping the drummer to set up. Imagine Bruce Dickinson handing the cymbals to Nicko McBrain and screwing them on to the stands.
And when the intro started Harry goes like "now you imagine we come out of the darkness and the stage curtain opens".
Priceless...
All in all, it was definitely worth the trip to see the mighty JP again, as well as Raising Fear, which me and my buddies remember from 2 years ago, when they also shared the stage with JP. The Ruffians were quite good too, but I haven't heard much material from them before the gig. Still, they were really good 80s US heavy metal, very energetic. Interesting enough, there was a fanatic in the audience who brought his Ruffians LP for signing.
I can only regret for the lack of this kind of happenings back home
.It would be really nice to have a club like Keller here... Then again, we can always come back if something interesting is going on there.
Too bad we couldn't stay for Thunderstorm's gig tonight, though...
Greets to all the Jag Panzer guys, very nice to the fans and always willing to do a photo. I'm sure you slayed at KIT as you did in Keller!
P.S.
A special greeting goes to Mrs.Mustaine, who showed us around the town a bit and took us to Keller (it would be relatively tough for us to find it ourselves, I suppose)
