Spiral out .... Keep going

this post i'll dedicate to Rich.
hes the one most likely to understand why we did this. why we flew into LA. why we delayed our stay in to SF, taking a $50 bus ride 2.5 hours north to the town of Bakersfield. no baggage, no maps, just one goal. to see our favourite band play live and perform. then having to catch a bus back at 12am to LA, no sleep, arriving and leaving LAX @ 8am.

what can i say Rich.
I wish you we're with us. i wish we could have bottled it up for you. be patient man.
the performance was unforgetable. Isis were fantastic, and your should check their stuff out Rich! kinda extended metal, toolish but heavier.

the setlist was tweaked a bit as this was part of the official "Full US tour show" not a preshow. including rosetta stoned, and right in two (personal hilight and my fav off 10 000 days) maynard was also in a great mood, conversing alot with the crowd. lastly things ended with an encore! yup. a conclusion of vicarious, lateralus and AEnima. perfection. each member coming together in a group hug to end. they are stronger than ever Rich. and more than ever before they are comfortable coming out of the dark shadows and performing in the lights.

2 pics to make you drool. :)
