There are few bands that deliver the kind of consistent performance of NMA. There's been a few changes of course - Justin now needs a haircut and the new guitarist plays a very low-slung rock-style; but the crowd is mostly the same, the beats are the same and the bruises I won in the mosh are familiar old friends.
I know I would have enjoyed taking the camera and getting some photos, but I enjoyed getting batterd, pushed, sweating and having my glasses bent into odd shapes even more.
There was a grin on my face.
Today I have work to do. Tomorrow I have to give another talk, go to see Steve Vai and at some point I need to do two application forms before Friday.
Anyone interested in reviewing Dio on Friday?
