Recovering from Maiden last night...

[Papa Josh]

What a show!!

Could've had a little better of a setlist, but, hey, they did Revelations!

Not one thing off of Somewhere In Time, for the second time, now!

Nothing from Killers, No Prayer, X Factor....

Gotta say, I liked the last tour better...

But Dio was fucking awesome!

Much better than the "Ryche was last time.

I actually thought Dio had better sound quality than Maiden on this tour.

I noticed that too.

Oh, I just have to say that Mr. Gers was exceptional last night. His solo on "Hallowed Be Thy Name" ruled and he even kicked a few new dance moves...

*jealous*

 

[Papa Josh]

Hey JayKeeley.. what kind of set did you get for Dio?

Ours was mainly title tracks of all of the things he's been involved in..

Goldy's solo was pure wankery.. otherwise he was pretty good. I'm more interested in hearing Magica 2.

 

[JayKeeley]

Mr Gers is ugly.

I think his setlist is pretty consistent:
Killing the Dragon
Last in Line
Stand up and Shout
Holy Diver (abbreviated version - what was up with that?)
Rainbow in the Dark
Dream Evil

erm, probably a couple more maybe...

aww. . .

Didn't mind Holy Diver being cut, because it led into a great rendition of Heaven and Hell, at least at the show I attended (MSG). Similarly, Last In Line was pushed aside to make room for Stargazer, one of my favorite songs of all time and the best thing our favorite elf ever played on IMO.

What the...? My memory is like a sieve. I seem to remember Stargazer (and Last in Line), but I certainly don't remember Heaven and Hell. And I might be getting confused with his gig I saw in NY back in December.

In fact, just learn from this to never ask me about set lists ever again. After the gig is over, my brain is mush.
