Styx & New Stuff

Went to the Def Leppard on Saturday, and MAN it was a great time. The absolute best part of it (not to take away from DL) but the second act was BY FAR AND AWAY probably what I enjoyed the most. For the record, Styx performed as the second show that night.

Here's a bit of background: Rollo bought this song by Styx on iTunes a few months ago. Its a live version of Renegade that was performed as the encore of a show from the early 1990's where, at the end of the song lead singer begins to ramble about how he loved performing in St. Louis so much that the entire crowd should "get on the bus after the show and we'll all go to Kansas City and do it again tomorrow night." Well, they pretty much did the exact same thing here at the Post Gazette Pavilion. Now, they follow THAT little bit of nonsense up with a jingle-esque way of saying goodbye. In the song Rollo bought, they sang "We-gotta-go now Saint Leeeeewis, Musssorraahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and, to a much lesser extent, they did the exact same thing with "Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Nonetheless, it was amazing. You really can't begin to imagine how hard I laughed when they did this! I couldn't believe it, and I've been reliving it ever since.

"Uncle" Pete got a lot of pictures, which he gave me exclusive permission to post to my Flickr, though I hate posting other people's pics as my own. For now, you'll have to sort through Rollo's, Reese's and Pete's pics by using either Facebook or MySpace. I doubt I'll Flickr any.

New stuff for this week include:

Be sure to get back to me regarding the new Arms Longstrom. Let me know what you hate, love or don't care for.

That's really all I have for now. More to come later.
