May 17, 1998 New York Irving Plaza


REVIEWS

New York shows are always fun. I brought my girlfriend to this one because I knew she would be able to see without being smashed at the front of the stage. I introduced her to Mr. Yow, which made her night. Their was a lot of business people watching so the pressure was on for the LA band to perform. When Jesus came on it was Bliss. Sims in total focus never missing a cord. Duane was changing it up and added intrinsic little riffs to end some songs and show off some tricks he learned in school. The most amazing thing about he show was Jim. This guy gives 110%, from the audience point of view he gashed his finger, I believe on his symbol, within the first 4 songs. Blood was all over, even Yow said something about. Ironman Jim didn't let it hinder his playing. It seemed that nothing bothered him. The only thing that might is if you chewed up chicken shit and spit it into his face that might upset him. This night was the first for me seeing the JL double encore, "great stuff."
