[kj] chicago?

[Antoni Adamiak]

I've seen this post on Miche's Myspace page (I hope she doesn't mind me cut & pasting it here) :
 
Whoa, the show was unbelievable!  I'm still trying to absorb it all.  The guys were really in their element and sounded superb!  I was really pleased with the songs they chose.  It was mostly the 1st 2 albums, with some Pandemonium songs mixed in.  (Requiem, Are You Receiving, Butcher, Turn To Red, Wardance, 80's, Tension, SO36, Love Like Blood, Communion, Whiteout, Money Is Not Our God, and a new song-not Timewave, but a better one and the name escapes me sorry!...).It was a real treat to hear Big Paul pound out those songs with the original energy we all remember from that 1st listen to the record!  He made it look effortless.  I never had the opportunity to see him play with KJ.  The only drawback, I think, was the fact that it was the last night of the tour, and maybe they weren't 100% there?  I got a slight impression that they may have already been thinking of their morning flights home?  And I hate to say that, but it's understandable.  They were probably tired!  And the crowd could've been more into it, and actually, I think the turn out was way too low. I dreaded that.  So you get what you give, right?  And after seeing them several times in the U.K., I guess I was looking forward to that shared electricity between band and crowd (in KJ's case, the white heat).  So maybe I'm spoiled?  There's just no comparison between the 2 settings!  But don't get me wrong here, they still delivered a fantastic show and I am always grateful to them for it!   And a special thanks to Youth, for making it possible for me to obtain a photo pass, because those of you who don't know, cameras are not allowed in our venues.  This is a ridiculous policy and I shall rant about it till my dying days!  At 1st it was to prevent people cashing in on photos and they used to just stop professional equipment, but now it's any old camera or any old thing they don't like!  In years past, I've had:  hairspray, sharp jewelry, even umbrellas taken away from me at the door!  Sheesh, COME ON!  I'm wondering why there wasn't any merchandise sold either.  :(While we were hanging inside the H.O.B. entrance, we saw Geordie walk in, but he walked by pretty fast with some people and I just couldn't open my mouth fast enough, lol, so I didn't get to say hello.  And most of my friends didn't even notice him go by cause they were watching a video on the monitor & just didn't notice!  We waited around afterwards, but didn't get to talk to the band.  :(  I was looking forward to that too, because it's part of the whole experience for me!  But, oh well.  I hope there'll be a new album/tour so we can repeat!  :DI'll be uploading the photos asap.  As for the 3-D ones, it will take a couple months for me to get them developed.It was great fun sharing my time there, with John, Michael, John, and Brian; Rick and Tami, who all traveled from afar for the occasion!  I even spied Martin Atkins rocking out in the balcony ;)  I hope that all the people who couldn't make it, will get another chance and we can finally meet. So THANK YOU to all who made the effort to make this pilgrimage,  and a big bow, in gratitude to Jaz, Geordie, Youth, and Big Paul for coming to Chicago!  T'was like a family reunion, for me, as it always is!
