Here is the 5th and last installment of my 5 show Heaven and Hell tour of the East Coast. It was a hell of a trip down from the
Boston show down to A.C. on this day. Neither rain nor hurricane could stop our voyage to the last show of the Heaven and Hell
tour. My wife and I did 6 shows in 8 days which started with the Judas Priest show in Marylyand. Ending back at the HOB in A.C.
was a nice finish to the madness of travelling. The HOB is located at the Showboat Casino and it is a great place to have fun.
We had a great trip and got to hang out with old friends and made some cool new friends too.
For the HOB show I had an ok seat with hardly anyone around me. Again though, I am not happy with the bass in this show.
Even when I thought I had the bass roll of setting correct, the sound was just not as good as I expected. I will probably
be investing in some new mics if I cannot figure out the problem.
Anyway, the performance was pretty good, but I did expect more from the final show of the tour. I am sure the band was
tired as they had been touring, starting in Europe since Spring.
I did get to talk to the band a few times and they were all in good spirits. My wife got to talk to Geezer about being the
Metal god father of Veganism and Vinnie for advice for our daughter's drumming aspirations. We talked to Tony a bit about his
hand and impending operation as well as plans for the Dio upcoming Dio tour.
I can never thank Ronnie enough for his generosity to us all these years. He will hang out longer than anyone I know for
his fans. He makes everyone feel like they are so special and I have the utmost respect for Ronnie for that.
There is not very much noise from people yelling around me, but again, the bass is just hard to find and the highs are way too
much.The crowd was much smaller than any of the other 4 East Coast shows but they were really a great crowd.
It has been my pleasure and I hope you enjoy this show as well as the other Heaven and Hell shows from this tour that I have
uploaded here.

    Thank you! I am glad this show was recorded. I never heard about it and some people didn't think it was recorded.

Band Of The Month: OASIS **FINAL 2024-10-10 with Round 10**

Seems like the tour excitement is catching on and a few fans have found this page. I don't have anything specifically rare but might as well put it all up. Don't really wanna clear out any of the Google drives so it has to be Pixeldrain. There is a 5GB daily download limit but I probably only have a few days worth. This collection is by no means comprehensive. Share widely if you wish. To be honest going forward - I don't like posting anything I haven't listened to. I lost track and can't really dedicate my life to Oasis right now so it's up to you to point out any flaws, most importantly CD skips from bad rips or too much diginoise - 2 things that make me trash a recording. Anyone have a complete Manchester Dec 1994? The one on Dime is heavily redacted. Can any of the experts recommend anything particularly exciting? Maybe I will make this a monthly thing with a different band. Or not. Like I said, just not feeling it anymore. RIP Douglas Parenteau aka OasisDou...

back on Friday

Lots of crashing ticket prices but unfortunately I didn't feel like spending 6 hours on the bus to Inglewood and back so I have been taking it easy this week. And finishing transfers. Same old drill, I will write up the info files Friday morning and post, possibly deleting stuff to make room so if you have been dawdling on anything, grab it now because once it's gone, that's it. None of the stuff I was threatening to do in lieu of staying home and working on tapes ever materialized. Too hot, too complacent, THC burnout, etc.  + + + And again. Since I spent $229.60 on a concert ticket last night I will probably skip Herbie tonight and a bunch of other stuff I had on the calendar but it was so worth it. More time to work on transfers and get stuff up and out though.  Same old thing, if I have any new transfers, I will write up the info and post on Friday. A lot of the stuff I listen to like one or 2 songs at a time, throw down the markers, get bored and move on to something e...

Back On Friday

 I guess this means I will be back on Friday with any new transfers I might have done. Which ain't much.   * * * *    I will be back next Friday with at least the uncompleted projects I was trying to get up the other day. I didn't go to a single show in the last week period. I have a bunch on my calendar but other than the Prima Donna show I bought a ticket for, who knows what I will end up hitting. I just got a text from the dearly neglected saying "we should go see Billie Eilish" but I think she was one and done for me at least until she hits the corndog circuit. I might take her down there, find her a ticket and turn her loose inside like I did for the Foo Fighters Santa Barbara show but not spending "real money" on my ticket. I also notice stuff on the blog disappearing beneath the fold - when you click "more posts" at the bottom of the first page, it cuts out a huge chunk of content. Like 6-10 entries. I tried changing the amount of posts per ...
