Yes, me and my bud Elliott got to see soundcheck. Yes, me and my bud Elliott met the drum tech. Yes, after the show, me and my bud Elliott got the only pair of drumsticks Alex used. Yes, the crowd was amazing. Yes, you'll have to repeat that because my ears are still ringing. Yes, Wolfgang can not only sing the high harmonies, but he's also a hell of a bass player. Yes, I had an amazing time.
Yes, that's Wolfgang wearing a Jerry Kevin Houser jersey. Sinn Fein, y'all.
That was a truly great show to see. And, yes, Wolfgang was impressive (and his hitting the high harmonies was the talk of the night).

I was at the show and loved it. Great time. But don't you honestly have to question some of the sound production? It sounded very processed to me. I wouldn't be surprised to learn of some pitch-correction or octave pedals being used on vocals....

Who the hell is "Jerry Houser"?
Is this like Dick Van Dyke / Jerry Van Dyke? Jerry Houser is Kevin Houser lesser-known brother????
Any way, glad you had such a blast. Love the international sign for "You rock, dudes!" prominent in the front of the pic.

Kevin...where did Jerry come from? What snyaptic connection failed to give me "Jerry" instead of "Kevin"? Is this the first telltale sign of Alzheimers? Aaarrgghhh.
HK, I was inside of the ramp, and our sound was not good. There were a couple of cabs aimed at us and that was it. Even at soundcheck, where I was by the board, everything was just a wash. And don't know if you noticed, but there were a couple of times that Ed got lost. When he did, both he and Al looked over at Wolfie, who was always right on track.
