Just got back from the Jaxx concert in Springfield, and boy am I deaf.  Got
to meet Zillagod12 at aol.com.  We we're both in the front together.  Well the
vocal situation improved over previous shows.  easier to hear this time.
yet, the mix was perfect for the opening acts but not for BOC.  How screwed
up is that?  The instruments didn't seemed mixed right either.  Danny's
bass was way too loud on In Thee.  The keyboards were up to much in
Dom&Sub.  And Buck's Guitar was down too low at the beginning.  I think
Buck is beginning to show sign of Alzheimers or something.  Because
occasionally he would turn away from the mic as he was singing.  Meaning of
course that we couldn't hear.  And during Harvest Moon, Buck actually
forgot the words in the second verse.  You'd think he'd be able to sing
that one in his sleep now.    Also didn't care for the echo effect on The
Vigil.  It was prominent enough.  All you ended up really hearing was the
change in pitch over and over again.  I actually thought that maybe Buck's
voice was shot because of this.  They failed to play any of the new songs
that they haven't already played.  Eric asked on AOL what 2 songs we all
think should be added to the list.  I think all but one person said
Damaged.  But it didn't get played.   anyways need sleep.  gonna try to
make the BBQ tomorrow.  here's the set list:

Burnin' For You
Cities On Flame
ETI
Harvest Moon
Buck's Boogie
O.D.'d on Life itself
The Vigil
Live For Me
Flaming Telepaths
See You In Black
Last Days Of May
In Thee
Godzilla
Don't Fear The Reaper

Encore:
Dominance & Submission


btw, I know I may seem harsh, but I really am a huge BOC fan.  I'd shell
out 20 bucks just to see them pick their noses for an hour an half.  ok,
maybe only 10 bucks.
