This is the first of some back-dated updates since I was on vacation all last week and not online. We kicked off vacation right by driving to NYC to see Down. Because of chaos at work gearing up for the CES show, I hadn’t slept in about 2 weeks. We got home from the show at 2:00am and got back up at 4:30 to head for the airport to Florida. This was the kick off of an unusually lucky chain of events for our vacation, starting with finding a parking spot about 50 feet from the front door of the venue without even doing a lap around the block. The show itself was fucking unbelievable – one of the best shows around right now. Instead of having an opening band they kicked it off with an hour video of a mix of Down footage and 70’s bands like Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Kiss. They then went into 2 hours of straight rock that felt much like the videos they had just shown. There aren’t many bands like this you can go see right now, and to see Phil Anselmo play in a small general admission venue instead of an arena with Pantera is as good as it gets.
