	This was an excellent show, the venue was pretty big, so we were able to get up
front with no problems, and the sound was really quite loud!  The show rocked, and the
guitarists are both excellent. The drummer, Taz, is one of the best I've heard play live,
wow.. he was really amazing!  Duff was wearing a dark shirt and black leather pants and his 
hair is about as short and the same color as recent pictures of him, and Dez wore an 
Iggy Pop shirt with black pants, and Micheal wore a black coat and pants.  There was a good
variety in the show, with alternating HEAVY and slow parts.  My favorite song was probably 
Missing You, but I wanted them to play Put you Down or Who's to Blame?
	You could tell that the band was pretty tight, because they didn't really make many
mistakes, and it was really nice to hear some of these songs after being a little familiar
with them.  This time he had some cds for sale, and since the album wasn't released, they are
bootleg copies! Also, he had some Loaded shirts for sale, which were pretty cool.
	He didn't introduce all the songs, and some even led into others, so it was a bit
confusing if you couldn't see the setlist.  He introduced the last song, Raw Power, and 
he also introduced a new song called Ridin' Home which he said he wrote with his good friend
Izzy.  I liked that one a lot too..
	They are going to start touring in May and will probably go to the East Coast and the
midwest, and then go from there..hopefully hitting some foreign countries.  They finished
recording the live album at this show, so look for it for sale soon most likely from the website.
If you can, check out their show and you can get a chance to buy the cd, and its definitely
a show worth seeing!
