I'll be seeing these guys tonight! Should be a great show. Can't wait to see the Mountain King live again. Hopefully I will get some pics and I will post later.
 
Lucky bastard. :D

I've been told by a local booker than Oliva is (supposedly) to do a show in the Chicago area in the late Summer so that might be something people would consider traveling to. He was supposed to do a date around here last year but the plug was pulled on that so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
 
Well it was another fucking great show from the Mountain King and company. They played about two hours and the crowd was great! I am horrible with set-lists, so I grabbed this from the progpower board. It seems right to me.

* Songs from Jon Oliva's Pain " 'Tage Mahal"

It was great to see 'Thorazine Shuffle' and 'Hounds' again, Jon said he hadn't done Hounds since Criss died. Ghost in the Ruins was unbelievable, they had about a 5 minute back and forth shred fest in the middle of the song. Fucking great. Go see them if you have a chance! I took a bunch of pics, here are some.

Yup, I guess exact same setlist as I saw (including Hounds :)
And I tell again (and again, and again, and again...); if they come near you, just don't hesitiate to buy tickets, this band really is AWESOME !!!
 
I've been playing Taje Mahal almost not stop these last few weeks and it riiiips!! Just had to switch it out to put in the new Bruce Dickinson...p.s. Best Buy did a no-no and put them out...Pabla scored one, but they confiscated the second one.

My cousin and I just bought the new Bruce Dickinson at Vintage Vinyl. They put everything out ahead of time. We both also scored the new Thunderstone which isn't due out in the States till like June 26 or something like that.
