So...anyone have any thoughts on the recent shows?
I saw the first set last night, which I thought was pretty damn good. Definitely
a different feel than the other Painkiller shows I've seen. I'm still somewhat
disappointed that Zorn chose to use the name without Mick Harris on drums, but,
what can you do. This is the first time I've seen Hamid Drake live and I have to
say, I'm tempted to go out and buy every recording this cat's ever played on. I
thought he was absolutely phenomenal.
Have to ask too - I haven't seen a show at Tonic in
a while (only SubTonic) - is this one drink minimum a standard now? I gotta say
for the higher ticket shows, that can add up for me at the end of the day when
money's tight.
