I really hope this isn't a one-off and Neal keeps it up.

No Hardline - Can't Find My Way? :cry:

Their singer's voice would go great with this song.

For being 3 veterans and 3 kids, they look spawt onn!! Neal's hair is beautiful--that look he had with the long, curly almost fro (which era I can't remember--maybe the one with Jana's avatar) and long sideburns, mmmm mmmmmm mmmmmmhhhhhh, lol. He does look good in the pics--so does Prairie Prince--I thought he was almost fatherly looking in some of the pics from NAMM(??) but his hair is all over his head here. The look like they are having a good time; I really hope they are.

Cool. I'm jazzed to see this show. I just need to see Rolie after this and I'll be set. Plenty of tickets still left for the HOB show. I know SoCal is SP country but I'm still expecting a full house. Probably a lot of walk ups at the last minute, since it is on the Sunset Strip, after all.

i'm so thrilled he did "animation," "valley of the kings" & "giza" all in a row. i think it's against the law to split up that holy trinity. "immigrant song" segued so nicely into "i'm gonna leave you." so glad i did the 2-hour drive to see/hear neal.

wired. can't sleep.

HS, who sang The Time?

Lucky you, on the west coast. I had to go pull this out and listen to hsas. It's been a while for me. what a great album. No Missing You from HSAS?

how was Keith St. John on the Sammy songs? How was Miles in the concert?

There's a way to save the Wombat's bandwidth ... just supply the standard retort along with the smartass comment.

I cancelled the whole trip ... I'll get over my mad eventually, but I really wanted to see this group & none of the rest of the dates would work for me.

They played "I'm Gonna Leave You"?!? DANG!!!! Working on uploading my rough vid for "Immigrant Song" right now. I'm still in Vegas weezing off a neighbor's unsecured Internet connection so I hope it holds out. LOL

There were several, actually. We hung out with some after the show.

Aww, Fu! What a shame... Hopefully there will be a DVD -- I hear they are filming one soon.

I know that's for Cyndy, but just wanted to say Keith St. James is an AWESOME vocalist and frontman. TON of charisma, stage presence, and his voice fit right in with everything they did. Super nice guy, and couldn't believe I came so far to see the show.

Thanks for sharing Rip! I started smiling the minute The Immigrant started... That must have been some show--they really do look like they are having fun--Neal smiling at P Prince is very telling; I'm happy for them and us fans

I'd hate to think of what would be left of Neal if you and Jana ever got ahold of him.

Why, that's very kind of ye. A few good shots out of many terrible ones. Was using my newer Sony Cybershot.

Here's something from The Miles Schon Band. I think this is fairly new, but I can't tell. Miles has a few solo pieces in the song.
