I saw Tim Friday and Saturday night. As promised, I have videos. I was in the first row both nights and they are absolutely incredible! There were a couple more people recording Friday night, one with a mike by the right speaker and one out of the soundboard(but just onto cassette), so hopefully we'll hookup and make something cool out of it. I'll be sending Kyle the show, I guess they will too. Only thing is that I borrowed my friend's camera and he only had one battery to go with it, which died after sixty minutes... which is really a shame. So on my way from Asheville to Roanoke, I stopped at Wal*Mart and got another battery. Then a couple hours later I headed out again for Chattanooga(I had to go back to Roanoke because I went to the first show w/ my father and he had to be back the next day, came down to Chatty w/ my mother). So last night's tapes turned out great... I am an amateur though, so forgive me that I missed a couple seconds of the beginning of one song while I was changing a tape, and a couple seconds of the encore when my new battery died(which was quickly replaced to catch the last moments of the show). So enough about recording, let me talk about the shows. The show in Asheville was great, but the audience was less than perfect. Some girl in the beginning kept shouting "Show us America!" or something stupid. A few more people kept shouting "Stream!" a little later, even the guy beside me who I told beforehand not to do that. But besides that they were a good audience. I got in free... I was third in line and the people in front of us gave us some extra tickets... I'll be sending them a copy of what I got of the show. I don't know what else to say, you all know he tore it up, but I think Do It Yourself was especially cool that night and he went nuts on As Far As We Can See(I think I missed both of those songs [:(]). I stayed after for a couple hours and met up with Tim and the boys as they were headed out. Fluffy was kind enough to take a picture of us(thanks Fluffy). Tim autographed our ticket stubs and was just being his cool, down-to-earth self. 2 AM, time for the 4.5 hour drive back to Roanoke. I didn't really have the money to buy the tapes and batteries and such as it was so when Fluffy put us on the guest list for the next night, that helped tremendously. I can't thank you enough Fluffy! The audience was amazing. A little screaming when Tim was on fire, which was definitey appropriate, but otherwise silent until every song was over... I've been to 5 Tim shows and that was by far the best audience, but that's the only TIMe I've seen him in an auditorium and not a bar. The most moving song of both nights came as the first encore of this show. I know it was a cover song, but I don't know what it was, it was very beautiful and touching. Rew came out in a mask, Slipknot style(am I right? I wouldn't know... reminded me of some metal band...)... and was talking in a funny accent telling people to check out the merchandise... I got at least some of that on tape. Talked to Fluffy after the show and he said he got a pic of me and Tim while I was recording him playing. Can't wait to see it. Again, Fluffy, thanks for [i]everything[/i]... you all are a great group of people and really know how to connect with the fans. I'm already anticipating the next time you come my way.
