This was the 2nd time I saw you guys. Unbelievable show! The 1st time was JerryFest '97. Those festivals kicked some major ass. That was probably the best time I've ever had at any music event (Phish, Skynryd). I love Phish and Skynryd but the whole atmosphere of JerryFest is uncomparable. I ate 4 ;D that night. I don't talk to the people I was there with so I want to see what you guys remember and/or thought of it. Sugar Magnolia was first and that's when the world around me started to melt (about 1/4 into the set). There was this giant Jerry thing that sat on some guys shoulders. It was totally tripped out. It had to have been over 20 ft. tall (can't remember) and it looked like Jerrry was dancing while the guy danced. I about lost it. Never seen anything like it and never will probably. That goes for much of what happened that night. I hope you guys remember that plus the trippin show that was on for the intermission. It was like liquid vision only I couldn't tell for sure what I was looking at. I couldn't distinguish between the visuals and reality. Anyway, that just set up the whole night. You guys came on and played a sick show. I was very surprised at how the band had progressed in just 2 yrs. It was perfect. I play guitar and keyboards myself and am a perfectionist when it comes to the music I love. I must say, at points I thought I was actually at a Floyd show. Never been to one of course (22 yrs. old). The encore of Comfortably Numb was fitting. At the time it seemed like the perfect song (and probably was). Awesome encore. I wonder what ever happened to the JerryFest? I live in N. Canton about 30 min. away from BearCreek. I heard they quit doing festivals. Is there a JerryFest anymore and will you guys play it if there is?
Anyway, I am going to the Odeon show coming up. I want to see The Wall performed badly. Was supposed to see it April of '00 but I got arrested for pot while I was trippin right outside the Odeon. My ticket was in hand and it was about an hour before the show. I love The Wall. It's up there with my top favorites: Meddle, Animals, Wish You Were Here, Ummagumma, Saucerful of Secrets). If at all possible, I would freak if you guys could fit in "Echoes" or "Have a Cigar" as an encore.
Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict is an excellent jam and would blow everyone's mind if ya'll could put it together. That would be incredibly hard with all the vocal effects and range that Roger Waters has. Well hope to here from one of you guys. I can't remember now if it was Jerryfest '99 or '00 but I'm sure you guys remember. Peace.
