Just thought I'd let you know that I just got back from two shows in Pittsburgh, PA and Columbus, OH. Both shows we're completely different from the other. In Pittsburgh, there were a couple problems with the pyro. At one point, after a song (Can't remember which song) the fire pyro that shoots down in the back of the stage wouldn't shut off. It just continued to stay on for, it seemed, a full minute. I could tell Paul was pissed as he looked up and said, "Well, with Rock and Roll, you never know what's going to happen." And then of course, when Peter went to sing Beth, some jackass shined a laser pointer on him and Paul made his statement of "taking the pen and shoving it so far up your..." In Columbus, something was wrong with Peter. He didn't sing anything except for Beth. He didn't even sing Black Diamond. Paul had to sing it. Peter didn't look like he was feeling good. But out of the two shows, it seemed the Columbus show was better than Pittsburgh. The Columbus crowd was more into it. I'm getting ready to head to the show on Tuesday, Dec. 8 in my hometown of Charleston, WV. I'll give a report on that show if anything happens. Later!
