Hello/Goodbye. One song I dig for the first time: The Graveyard Shift a very long and total mind blasting version. This is one of the best things that can happen on concerts: You understand songs, you never liked before and from that moment you love them forever. They played a lot songs more, I can't remember. I just remember, they gave four (!) encores. Simply brilliant

One concert this year reminds me again how small metal in public is. Friends take me to a gig from Nouvelle Vague. They only cover New Wave hits in a bossa nova style. Just two guitars and two nice looking french female singer. The whole performance was pretty, but nothing more. Often I got the feeling, the four musicians show how do they play music in their holiday time. The concert takes only a little bit more than one hour. They played one song (Just can't get enough from Depeche Mode) two times, because they hadn't more material. Now comes the link to metal: Anthrax. When they were in town, they played over two hours material from several albums, they rocked, they gave everything. How many fans were there? 40? 50? Not more. How many people were by Nouvelle Vague? 300? 350? The gig was totally sold out. I mean, compare a big old band like Anthrax to a band like NV, which only plays covers, has no drummer and only one album. Ok they have two chicks, but..

Just before the year was about to end, I headed up to Baltimore MOnday to see the always incredible GOV'T MULE!!!!I haven't seen the MULE since Woody died and really haven't been thrilled by what they have released since his death. Thev've gone from being a very unique band with a sound of their own to a band who sounds a lot like the Allman Bros, and all the other jam bands, thanks to the addition of a permanent keyboard player. However, GOVT MULE still stand head and shoulders above all these other bands thanks to the 2 main guys Warren (I don't know what to do if I'm not playing a guitar 365 days a year) Haynes & Matt (drummer extrodiaire) Abts. As usual they played their asses off and between 2 sets of songs from their new cd, some Mule classics and some great covers and a special guest on sax, Halloway, they jammed for about 3 1/2 hours. A great night was had by all and I'm glad I didn't end the year without seeing at least one show worth mentioning. -------------------- yawn
