BCN-MAD by train it's only 2 hours and a half

how was the gig 2nite ???
the problem was not volcano but... Razzmatazz crew !!!!
this dump is a shame for Espana
a hudge tattooed securiity dog dropped me outside after 4 songs for strictly N O T H I N G
a nice guy of the crew understanding french try to help me but he told to his boss I beated him !!!!!!!!!!!
he told to other spectators I was smoking !!!
I am pregmant
if I lost the baby, he is dead
I saw you maybe 30 time from 90's all over the world
very very very desppointed by the choice of this king of dump full of violence and drugs
game over SY

show was great (Shaking Hell, Bull, Exp. all the golden oldies)

but Im worried about getting to Madrid, crossing my fingers airport is reopened by tomorrow...

got a pic of the setlist...

Didnt see any trouble like someone else mentioned.

BTW - the ticket pickup will-call was sort of a nightmare, VERY SLOW. one person was some kind of problem with id and the whole line got held up for like 15 minutes.

btw- about the train- I think it will be very hard to get ticket if the airport is still closed. Im just hoping for the best. Barcelona was amazing. Got to go the the Barca-Espanyol game too.

I was some kind of disappointed as no songs from THE ETHERNAL were played at Barcelona...
Although there were tickets lefts for sale I saw the venue full

the band enjoyed a lot, with a lot of "guitar dancing", kim turned in crazy trance on Cross the Breeze, Shaking Hell and Expressway, the great highlights for me. one of my best particular sy shows.

1h 50 min.

and great!!!

Holy Shit!

What an excellent setlist. Bizarre that they abandoned the eternal entirely

I bet Mark was doing Pavement stuff?

no Ramones covers yet, c'mon!

candle is a niiiice opener

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, my flight is definitelly cancelled!

:(:(:(:(

:(:(:(:(

...that's true... i'm sorry greenlight :(

mmm, i missed White Cross!!!! :)

great show, rockin' on!!

My flight also got cancelled, so I wasn't present at the yesterday's gig. The setlist was off the chain i must admit, the best in the whole universe

omg, is Mark Ibold going to join SY tomorrow? I mean, I like him, I love The Eternal, but... holy shit, look at that setlist! Now it would be a shame if the Portugal shows were "normal", to be honest, lol.

fuck that volcano!!!!

Seems as if my flight for tomorrow is cancelled. My Sonic Madrid dream has dissipated in a cloud of volcanic ash.

I am sorry for you people who missed this show and now Madrid. I made it fortunately. I will add about last night razzmatazz was totally packed shoulder to shoulder. They packed them in like sardines. the upper level is really funny in this place you must be 4 feet tall otherwise to see because of the low ceiling thing. So you sit on the edge of the balcony with your feet dangling.

I think one of the highlights was when they were doing Expressway and Kim put the guitar on ledge of the barrier and into the audience, but people were so shy about touching it, I dont know why they didnt get more into it at that point, oh well...

There was also a limited edition show poster signed by artist for 10 euro. I think it might be same poster for all shows in Spain, we shall see later....

sorry for those that can't make it. what a shame La vie est Belle, give some people a little power and they decide to play God.....

very nice setlist half of the songs are usually encore songs.......
