A very good evening tonight! Lee's Palace was sold out and there seemed =
to be a decent age mix as well.
The Joke were in top form and it was difficult for me to believe that =
they cancelled Philly only a couple of days ago.
Our boy Cliff did a great job helping Geordie sound good (and Geordie =
DOES seem to be quite the task master. He seemed quite annoyed when =
there wasn't a towel handy on top of his amp!). A near perfect =
performance by our favourite guitar god.
Ted was fucking great. He's definitely a keeper. I really want to hear =
him on a studio album.
Jaz was in a good mood and really seemed to be in his element. No sign =
of the flu affecting his performance whatsoever.
Raven was ever aware and looked like he was ready for anything.
To round it all out the keyboards were nicely handled too.
All in all, I'd have to say that maybe it wasn't the most intense KJ =
show I've been to, but it's a very close second without question. I'd =
also have to say that the sound was DEFINITELY the best that I've ever =
heard them.
The band had three encores, even though I'm not sure that we got any =
more songs than other cities (maybe they were checking to see how Jaz =
was holding up). It was great to hear the classics The Wait, Change, =
Frenzy, The Fall of because mixed in with the new material. Blood on =
your Hands, Total Invasion, Seeing Red and Asteroid really got the crowd =
going.
At the end of the show, Jaz gave Raven a hug, gave Ted a hands out =
ehaulted bow and a hug to Geordie. He patted his heart and thanked the =
crowd and said that this makes his life worthwhile. He then shouted out =
to the crowd "You'll see us back in 2004! That's a promise that you can =
bet your life on!"
I can hardly wait!
