I have to hand it to the boys of ETID...they came out swinging! I don't know when was the last time I saw/heard that much energy at a show. It really had the sound of something that is happening right now, as opposed to something that happened back in '83. That would differentiate it from so much of what is on tour right now.
The people at the venue were also terrific. They were very nice, and even had a sense for humor when they were padding you down. Friendly bartenders, didn't know there were any left on the face of the planet. Looks like the inside of the venue has been redone, or had a facelift. And the sound system was immaculate. Plenty free parking, even in max overcrowding conditions.
I did many things over the course of the weekend, sports, gent. club, hotels, restaurants, etc. This event clearly stood out as the piece of the weekend that I will remember fondly.
