BOC Setlist

[gary shindler]

That's great. I am reading Neil Young's memoir and it focuses so much on the people he's played/worked with that are gone and I'm glad to read you guys can celebrate. Wish I had been there. BOC means so much to me still.

The thing for me is that it was more a social event. Everyone backstage was extremely nice, a love fest if you will, a far cry from when I last played with them. I hated having the last shows I did as a member of BOC be so unhappy. As time has passed I've learned to appreciate each one for that special thing they brought to the music. So for me the show was an A+.

>> 
>> The show started half an hour late - apparently, they were late getting the doors open and the meet and greets over-ran.  The result was that when the clock hit 11.00pm they had to vacate the stage with no encore due to union curfews.
>> 
>> So - they were running late, they knew the show had to finish at 11pm prompt, so what do they do?  They have a bloody intermission (where are we - the ballet???) - plus: they STILL they do the bloody bass and drum solos in the first set!!!!!
>> 
>> What this meant was that there was no time left for "Cities on Flame" sung by Albert - it was on the setlist to be played!! Crazy!! All the buzz and vibe was about the reunion and yet they cut it short!! Well, just as long as we got Jules Radino's drum solo - wouldn't want to have missed that! I reckon that's what half the audience were there for...
>> 
>> Also on that setlist and not played due to insufficient time were: "Perfect Water", "Pocket", and "Steppin Razor".
>> 
>> There are some great clips that have managed to find their way onto youTube, despite management taking people aside during the gig and forcing them to delete their memory cards - nice touch...
