Great show.
Sparta was good, tough job opening up for AIC and VR but they were pretty tight and appeared to have fun. They must be jacked to have such an opportunity. Might actually pick up their CD.
Alice was great. I traveled north from Everett to go to the show and it was worth it. Pac Col is a good venue and my seat was awesome.
Met some great Canadian AIC fans that were VERY excited to see Alice and I think the crowd expressed that well during the show. William was very well recieved by the fans around me and nobody had a bad thing to say... Except the show was too short. Vancouver is ready for Alice to Headline a show.
Sound was better than last years Paramount show, especially Mike's bass. William was on it, Jerry thrashed his guitars, Sean was perfect.
VR came out and was well recieved, but it appeared to me I was in an all Alice section. Crowd went wild for the old STP and GnR songs they played. More so than the VR tunes. I never saw STP and really enjoyed the few tunes they did. Was funny, everytime the stage went dark after a song there were half a dozen people still shouting 'Alice!'. Guess they were hoping for an Encore.
Where can I get a copy of the graphics AIC uses during concerts? I can't think of a better screen saver. I also need a good hi-res copy of the line art displayed during 'We Die Young'? I see a new tatoo in my future!
