Snow,
My best 'Last Days' experience came at Rich Stadium [home of
perennial NFL chumps Buffalo Bills] at a concert with BOC headlining,
with Ted Nugent and Lynyrd Skynyrd opening. [This was about 1 week
before the plane crash!]  Anyway, at this time, BOC's laser light
show was at its peak [as they say]  My group was sufficiently primed
for the experience, and during 'Last Days' they did a laser effect
which somehow made the entire stage appear to be engulfed in tongues
of fire.  Buck blazed away in a seemingly endless solo which left
everyone slack-jawed.  I've seen many BOC laser shows, but that one
topped them all...
