MP & HAIL! - NYC & MA shows NEXT WEEK!!

I got the BB kings msg about tix on sale today

Being sick can mean instant bankrupcy in the states? I don't understand why so many Americans are against a health care system.

any chance of a concert in Beirut, Lebanon again? pretty please? :D

Anyone going to the NY show tomorrow?

If I go, I'd be going alone.

From b-mouth:

SAVATAGE/TRANS- SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA guitarist Chris Caffery has confirmed via Twitter that he will join the all-star band HAIL! — comprised of bassist David Ellefson (F5, ex-MEGADETH) , guitarist Andreas Kisser (SEPULTURA), vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH) and newly appointed drummer Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER) — on stage tomorrow night (Tuesday, January 26) at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York City to perform a couple of songs.

Just saw this pic at Andreas twitter:
 

 
Killer line-up!

I NEED A BOOTLEG OF THIS SHOW NOW!!!!!

That is amazing!!!!

Here are some pics from the show, which was awesome!  They're from my iPhone.  So, you have to excuse the quality of the pics.  Not the best.  None of Mike because he was too far for the phone to capture and it cr@pped out before the end of the show.


Met some really cool people up at the stage, too.

OMG cfmoran13! I didn't know you're on the forum! It's me, Stephanie!

Not to mention, all the friggen photographers in the way!!

was it sold out?

Nope. I don't know how close it was to being full, I was all the way up front (and I'm short). I was able to buy two tickets at the box office a little after 6pm, when the doors opened.

Ha Ha!  I thought that was you.  I wasn't sure.  That one photographer REALLY needed a shower.  Ugh!  Everything okay for you guys after you left?  It got a little crazy at the end.  I saw that the one dude knocked your glasses off.  There are always a few a-holes in the crowd.  It was good talking with you and your boyfriend.

I found a halfway decent shot of Mike along with a few others from the show.

Found 1 vid so far.

Craig

That's too funny! Yeah, everything was fine, my bf was able for the most part to keep everyone off of me. The guy who knocked off my glasses was real drunk and kept elbowing me in the head!

So a good friend of mine was interviewing the guys before the show, when MP stopped and said something along the lines of him being warm, and proceeded to take off his pants. 

Just got back from Foxboro. Got pics with the guys, a signed setlist and great conversation, especially with Dave and Ripper. Will post everything tomorrow. 

But for now,

Glad to hear it - that everything was fine, not that you kept getting elbowed in the head.  Great pics, too!

Your friend was the dude that came up with his friend before the show started right?  What was the name of their internet radio station again?

Foxboro pics.

Great show in Foxboro, though quite a bit shorter than NYC, I thought there might be a couple  guests.... but no.  Really looked like Mike and company were having alot of fun.  Teeny tiny crowd, and I only saw 1 lugey from Mike.

I think I was the most impressed by Ripper.  I am only familiar with his work with Iced Earth, but I think he's an awesome front man.
