Shackled
Send it up
Wash Away
EYW
We Are





hi all,

well, i'm ecstatic to give my first ever concert review.  on thursday night
at the cajun house in scottsdale, i would dare to say that a ziggy's-like
concert was put on.  i was so impressed.  keep in mind that i was going in
expecting to pretty much be the only person in the club that wanted to see
vh.  i was really wrong.

the boys came out and the crowd initially was very loud.  the set list was
basically the same as in atlanta, except switch "wash away" with "heart in
hand."


the crowd singing along was unbelievable.  if y'all haven't been to  a
concert recently, "send it up" is the designated crowd sing-a-long song and
let me say that we were awesome.  after getting some recent bootlegs hearing
crowds trying to sing "send it up," i didn't know if this was really the best
song for that, but send it up rocked.  then "wash away" was easily the
highlight in my book.  it wasn't a 12 minute jam like on live stages, but it
was definitely their longest song.  Matt  broke into the "these are a few of
my favorite things" jam and the whole crowd sang "these are a few of my
favorite things!" once that part came around i was so impressed.  after that
and before they started EYW, matt just backed up and i saw him say "damn" on
account of the amazing crowd noise.  after "we are," i was hoping for an
encore, but i found that they're only allowed 45 minute sets during the west
coast swing.  so the show was awesome and we left the club to go meet the
band.

that was really fun.  keith was the first to come out and i just introduced
myself and before i knew it, i was exchanging jokes with keith kane.  it was
great.  sean came out next and was very cool cuz he actually walked over to
our group and was like "what's going on, guys."  he totally remembered all of
our names too.  i was quite impressed.  we talked w/ matt for a little while
too and i told him that i and my roommate did "heart in hand" for the vh
tribute album and he said thanks and that was cool.  and ed was great cuz we
were just shooting the shit about movies and stuff for a while, but it as
time to leave shortly after.  all in all, one of my best concert experiences
ever.

and if anyone got this far into my letter, email me for a b&p of up to 4 of
my shows listed at the web site below.  thanks for reading!

Later

Luke
