I was there, too, my friend...Weedsport, right? I was a student at
SUNY Cortland at the time! Alice did indeed rock, as did Motorhead.
But I must admit, I left about halfway through Priest. I got really
sick of all the newer stuff. It just sounded like mindless thrash to
me. I really should have stuck around, though, as I'm sure they saved
the classics for later in the set.
Rob's new band, BTW, is called Two. I heard a remix of one of their
songs, called "Hole in the Ground" or "Deep in the Ground" or
something like that. Not bad, but it won't set the world on fire.
