RADIO CITY KICKED ASS!!!!
I paid thru the nose for tix's, but damn it was worth it.
Radio City is such a great place. The sound was incredible. The crowd was great. Dave even mentioned this was the most respectful crowd he'd played for recently. I guess cause it wasn't on a campus.
I found dave to be fairly animated, but not sure since this was my first D&T. He did mention that although most people knew his position on the war, he had tremendous respect for the troops. He simply had problems with the "kings and queens."
Some of the highlights for me....
Surprising, Fool to Think was a highlight. I guess cause I really don't like the album or band version. Their acoustic version was really nice.
Dave seemed really into Gravedigger. My first time seeing it live. Very powerful.
Tim....a very small man...what is he 5-3"...anyway....he played 2 songs. I can't begin to say how impressive he was.
Dave and Tim played real tight.....as expected. I do wish Tim had a little more action in the newer songs, but I guess this will come over time.
They played for over 3 hours, not including the encore.
As for today, my wife and I were walking around Manhatten....killing time before we had to catch a cab to the airport at 3:45pm. We ended up walking by the Pennisula hotel and my wife noticed a black tour bus out front with Oregan plates. Needless to say, we immediately suspected it might be dave's. 2 other kids suspected the same and were waiting with a camera. We hanged around for about 45 minutes. A roadie brings out a martin case and then another. Low and behold, Tim comes out with a bodyguard. Doesn't really say anything, but did agree to the picture.
About 30 minutes later, dave comes out and walks right up to us and shakes our hands. I could not believe it. He seemed so down to earth and genuine. Told him the show was fantastic and that we flew all the way up from Texas. He thanked us for coming and made time to have his pic took with each of us. I can't say enough....Dave is a class act.
