the day started very AEnimic indeed. sydney's weather changed overnight to be cloudy and overcast, light drizzles throughout. a change was in the air. the day had arrived. we were completely relaxed and ready. spending the day trying to post on the blog without success, (hence this is delayed telecast to go online) getting a big lunch and cruising down to the show. throughout the day walking round the city wearing our tool shirts, and seeing others doing the same, felt comforting, like somehow, silently, we didnt know each other, but for this one day of the year, we were all connected.
Sydney's entertainment center is a fantastic venue for any occasion and we entered with ease. sitting down the anticipation was overwhelming, and the crowd slowly built to fill the sold out arena. opening with Stinkfist, 46&2 and Jambi, as expected all four members were in sync and perfect. the PA picked up nicely for maynards vocals to rise. it soon becomes evident with this band that they never disappoint, they never fail.
playing wings for marie and 10,000 days together first time in australia was magical. an ode to a passed mother, it was well respected, and signaled the start for the laser show and a huge "net of being" backdrop to emerge. the crowd went mad and mark and i just smiled as we knew what to expect from the californian show we saw in august. all in all you get out what you put in, each person using the emotion of the night to ride on.
i hear rumblings of a november tour. i see a melbourne adventure being born. keep the beer cold and a room free Miguel.... .. . .
