Last night was the first show with RJD in Hartford. The place was almost full. Hopefully that's a good sign for the rest of the tour. We were cramped by our lack of room on the Webster stage but that didn't stop us from tearing it up. There were some strange looks from the Dio fans up front at first but from half way through our set we owned it. The security was trying to stop the mosh pit but couldn't, especially for Indians.
All of Dio's people were very cool and made us feel welcome. I spoke to Ronnie during a guitar solo and he was dying to know if the Yankees had won the second game of the doubleheader they were playing against the Twins. I busted out the cell and went to ESPN and we looked up the scores. When I showed him that the Yanks had swept and Boston lost, he was stoked! Who knew the metal master was a Yankee fan? I guess he gets DirecTV on the Silver Mountain. I like him even more now. He had been pissed off about the sound on stage and after he got the Yankee score ha said he was in a much better mood and walked back on stage with a big evil grin. Made my night. His set is full of classics. He even does Gates Of Babylon! When Brent comes back to work I'll have a full AM. The cover art for GOTE was supposed to post on Monday. Hopefully he'll get it up soon. Anyway, there will be posters and flyers of it starting in NYC I think.
More soon.
