[kj] (OT) Everything everything...

[Leigh Newton]

Nice! I've done the exact same thing. Naps with Second Toughest as the soundtrack are not naps but gorgeous episodes of unconsciousness. I always invariably wake up during Blueski which is a choice way to to regain consciousness. Like God's alarm clock.

    When I lived in a dorm between a UAE citizen who was always shouting onthe phone (not sure how careful he was w/ his breakfast rolls) and twoSpaniards who were always shouting at their video game console, inorder to nap I would blast "Second Toughest of the Infants" so that mymind could relax and drift into slumber. Falling into dreamworld tothat album (the first two tracks in particular) at full volumesurpasses any experience I've had on drugs.

And I second Mark's thoughts on Everything Everything: quite good, butdoesn't capture the vibe the way some of the unofficial live stuffdoes. I think it may have been tainted a bit by the Beaucoup Fish-eravibe, which was nice but not as good.

  "Juanita/Kiteless" is the most sublime thing they've ever done,
if anyone were to ask me.

      On the Underworld album- do they do 'Dirty Epic' and
'Cowgirl'? If they do, I'm tempted to acquire it. Absolutely loved that
first album. Soundtrack to many amphetamine-fuelled nights back in the
90s.
     
    Hated 'Born Slippy'. Overlong and tedious, with fuck all to
recommend it. I suppose that's on the album is it?

              Seconded.
          I revere it highly, along with Led Zeppelin's "The Song
Remains the Same," Rush's "Exit Stage Left," Underworld's "Everything
Everything," and Pet Shop Boys' "Montage (nightlife)" live recordings.
Btw, I think Judas Priest's "Priest...Live!" could've been better done.
         
          Anyone out there recommend any live records by Iron
Butterfly, Gang Of Four, or electronica
bands (techno/trance/industrial/synth/etc.) as top-of-the-line quality
performances worth seeing or buying?
         
         Oh sh'.. almost forgot: Gotham, by Bauhaus. Of Course.

Subject: [kj] (OT) Iron Maiden Tonight in LA
          
          
As some people here may know, they are doing their current tour basedaround 
their best run of albums from the 80's, between Number of The Beastthrough 
7th Son with a couple other tracks like "Iron Maiden" and "Fear of theDark" 
in the set as well.
          
Great show, 100% sold out very few scalpers selling seats and appearedto be 
a really tough ticket for anyone hoping to core anything just beforethe 
show. I've seen Maiden 7 times dating back to the NOTB tour opening for          
Scorpions at Long Beach as well as one of the '85 Long Beach shows andthis 
was as good as the original Powerslave tour was and LA gave them areally 
impressive welcome. Haven't heard a Forum crowd that loud when theycame on 
since original Roth era Van Halen. Only real beer break spots areduring 
Powerslave and Heaven Can Wait. The first hour through Ancient Marinerwas 
Godlike.
          
The only downsides really had nothing to do with the show. The fucking 
monkeys directing traffic into and around the Forum parking lot wouldsend 
scores of cars into dead end parts of a lot already filled causing huge          
traffic fuckups all over the lot. I wound up parking partially on a 
sidewalk, great spot for $22 bucks. Then, no one knew which doorsreserved 
seating and general admission floor people were being let in so thatwas a 
huge clusterfuck as well. I wound up just going through an unguardeddoor 
in the club entrance which was supposed to be reserved for VIPs andpeople 
working there. It took me about 40 minutes to drive the 35 miles there,an 
hour and a half to get down to the floor once I paid for parking. Ihope its 
another 10 years before I have to go to that shithole again.
          
The sound and view was pretty good and loud from my position about 50feet 
straight back from the stage but when I went for a piss and came backand 
hung out near the soundboard for Heaven Can Wait, it sounded prettymuddy 
and weak. Anyone (like myself) that wonders why that "3rd guitarist"Janick 
Gers(sp?) is still in the band will be more pissed than ever afterseeing 
the guy spend most of his time spinning his fucking guitar around himand 
basically half-assed playing and posing like a poor man's YngwieMalmsteen. 
It really doesn't appear he's in the live sound mix much except for afew 
solos. The guy is basically a band cheerleader with a guitar. The restof 
the band sound and play graet, and bassist Steve Harris is still amonster 
on the instrument.
          
The good news is that Bruce said before the encore that they are comingback 
for a couple month US tour in May and June and hitting a lot of majorcities 
including 2 more SoCal dates, thankfully at the old Irvine/Verizonoutdoor 
ampitheater. Also, they are coming back with a more elaborate stagewith 
more "Eddie stuff," no doubt a big mechanical prop like the old daysthat 
was behind the drum riser. Tonight, they just had a guy in a huge,tipsy 
Somewhere in Time era 15 foot tall Eddie costume wearing a Lakers shirt          
(pretty funny). Here's some of the dates off the official site:
          
Wed 5/21/08 San Antonio, TX - Verizon Wireless - on sale 3/1 10am
Thu 5/22/08 Houston, TX - Woodlands - on sale 3/1 10am

Sat 5/31/08 Los Angeles, CA - Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre - on sale3/1

Mon 6/2/08 Seattle, WA - White River Amph - on sale 3/8 10am
          
One last thing, around the 3rd song, some fucktard decided a good wayto 
bully his way up front was to take a running charge from way the hellback 
and just plow full speed ahead decking anyone in his way. He managed toslam 
right into my fucked up shoulder (I have a torn rotator cuff and 
calcification tendonitus - getting surgery on 2/28) which had the goodgrace 
to not start hurting like hell until I got out of the show. The payoffwas 
he bounced off me into some other guy on my right who really clockedhim 
with his elbow. Right now, I'm waiting for my Heath Ledger cocktail tokick 
in so I can get some hopefully pain-free sleep.
