That's totally the kind of shows the Times Colonist gives 4/5 Stars for... For me I gave it a "meh"

I wasn't into the first band Sparta not that they where bad just not my kind of music. Pretty lights though :> - Sun, 13 May 2007 11:59pm

Inside Eye from Winnipeg was the 2nd band on. Not bad if you closed your eyes and listened but they where just too animated. I think you could fill out a Rock Star Pose Bingo card in the first three songs. "Windmill, Jump on the Drum kit, ZZzz" etc

Next up was the guy announcing that it's ZONE SHOW #zzz and so on,

A HINT : IF you are not throwing out free Swag or b) SARA P
GET OFF THE FREAKING STAGE ..YOU SUCK

Zone guy goes on to say that Finger 11 will be out in 5 minutes... FIVE MINUTES - Mon, 14 May 2007 12:05am

Now its 10:15 ...I didn't look at my watch but it was easily 45 minutes, A lady in front of us was heading to the Box Office because unknown to me "They have to give you your money back if they don't start by 10:30???" new one to me but of course they started at that moment


The parking lot is right next door not like they can claim "A Spinal Tap " we got lost under the stage ...lol - Mon, 14 May 2007 12:11am

They where good, about what I expected ,the guitarists where pretty cool with the swinging the SG over the head non stop...

Did they just "Rent-A-Bassist" for this tour one of those things where not like the other...He was kinda Paralysed, should have been playing in a Jazz Combo some where...That Sunburst Fender is just not a Rock Guitar when the Guitarists are having a Virtual pissing contest with cool guitars in front of you... - Mon, 14 May 2007 12:17am

the GnR cover was real good, but the ENCORE was kinda fake, I mean come on leaving the Big hit paralyzed out of the main set...Course your gonna play it or we are gonna storm your bus and make you "Rainbow Butt Monkeys" do it...

Compared to any other shows I saw in the last year I give this one a Rating of "Thankfully I didn't go to Vancouver to see them and NOT Worth seeing again"

If the Zone had anyone with balls on the stations airwaves I might listen more but I am sure they will give this OK show great reviews.. - Mon, 14 May 2007 12:25am

Knocks against both The TC and The Zone. How punk rock - and yet, you went to a Finger Eleven show. Meh. - Mon, 14 May 2007 10:52am

Finger 11 it was a birthday gift! I go to a lot of shows any ways! "I must have missed the sign F11 Fan Club Members Only" sign on he front door. How did "Punk Rock" get into this? Just stating my observations of my experience at the show last night. Shows I like seem to get slammed by the T-C... lol

On another note I liked your Column in the paper today.

Cheers
