I feel like talking about past SY shows. & I wanna know what happened to the people of the night of the concert. Who were you w/? What happened on the road trip up to the concert? & most importantly, What did the band play, & what did they do? Any little stories you have about an SY concert, I wanna know I'll start;

2004;
I found the SY tickets on this cheap little cellular phone that had access to a few web pages. So, I was very lucky to even know that SY was even on tour. (Lollapalooza was cancelled)
Date, August 20, 2004. Venue, The Orange Peel, Asheville, NC

The Orange Peel;
As I got to the venue & the doors, naturally me & some other people had gotten there early, so there's that whole waiting story. Everybody was talking about SY shows that they've seen in the past. & I was jealous 'cuz this was my first SY show. So, finally, they open the doors, & I hand event staff my ticket & ID. & just as am thinking I'm ready to go in, they stop me & say that they don't allow out of state ID. I almost died. I just couldn't believe that I wouldn't get to see SY. But, I'm happy to say, after some convincing they let me in.

"Sonic Nurse" North American Tour;
So, I'm finally getting ready to see SY. You know, the other acts are playing, but I can't concentrate 'cuz I'm to busy thinking about SY & their brilliance.
& finally the moment I've been waiting for, SY live. Kim & Lee pretty much right in front of me. Kim would do this thing during where she would raise her arms like angel wings, & that is a moment I'll never forget. Thurston was being a crazy schizo on stage, like he always is. He actually ran around enough to where he was in the middle of the stage, instead of to his normal left-side position. Lee did something I never would of expected, He actually almost stage dived w/ his guitar over the audience, & I touched a piece of the neck. I'm still in awe. & Jim was being quiet as usual. just playing bass & guitar. & of course Steve was fucking kicking ass behind the set.
