The Violet Rose sent this review of the Nashville concert:

Hi, Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner. But I've been on call (NWS) most of the day, and last night....was....

Anyway here is my review of Nashville's show. The song set had not changed from other lists. So, I won't rehash that.

First and formost.... BIAS WAS IN A GREY SUIT !!!!! I swear to you ! And after I got those lovely purple latex gloves for him. As a gag gift A member of local backstage security took them for me. And to the best of my knowledge the gloves ended up in the right hands. GRIN

I saw Tracy at the airport. No I was stalking one of the greatest female voices today. I was picking up an ole friend at the airport. Poor Tracy....It was 90 with a heat index of 100. And she was stuck waiting on transportation. MAN ! She looks GREAT !!! really lost some weight.

The local symphony wasn't the usual lot, from what I could tell. I saw very few silver headed folks. Most looked like college age. They held their own most of the way. Giving way to only a few Boo Boos. But then my friends they really showed up for NIWS !

John did his best ham , and though I don't ususally find this entertaining. I found it alot of fun. He really appeared to be having a good time. As did Ray who enjoyed his bit during LOAM. Paul looks a little different with a guitar in tow. The girls seemed to have calmed down the dance...possibly due to heat ? It was hard to make out GE's bit. Does anyone have a copy of this poem ? Of course, there was the usual drum stick toss, and I still find it fun to watch Gordon, while he plays during ILS. One day they are going to have to bring out a cork screw just to pull him out ! grin.....

Then there was Justin. I don't think I have ever heard him sound soooooo goooood ! I have to admit,I about lost it during the first song. A huge bug kept flying around Justin. It must be that sweet english skin... Steady girls !!!!!

The lighting effects were great also. Lots of different designs and colors. Not to mention the suspended sideways hourglass screen. Which diplayed completely different patterns and colors from the back drop. Really impressive stuff. But then I tend to find that sort of thing fascinating anyway.

All in all I would say this new CD has been a real shot in the arm for the guys. It was plain to see how they enjoyed performing new material. And although respectful of they're older hits, they seemed to lack interest while doing those songs. So thats about it......
