Show was amazing as always, got early entry SCORE THANKS THIRD MAN! There were so many crowd surfers I got kicked in the back of the head 3 times... not my kinda rough show, but good none the less, I rocked it out. Def the roughest Third man show i've ever been to.

The thing that made me scratch my head was there was NO FUCKING POSTER!!!

I asked the merch guy, his response is "No poster, the artist was sick." I asked him who the artist was he said "I don't fucking know, there's no posters."


Well I'd like to know

A) Who the artist was and
B) If I'm going to be able to buy a poster.

Doesn't sounds promising. I still haven't got an email from the Aukland gig - Amber said she'd email when they're ready but it hasn't happened...

They had posters in Boston. Done by Silent Giant, bit depressing, not my thing, but I know there are some SG fans on here that might like them. WHERE IS RJ???

Oh and the merch guy there was zero help as well.

Forgot to ask, has this been typical of the DW shows? Holy shit! I could probably hold my own in that crowd (I'd be pissed, but I'd make it work); however, the Mrs. is going and there's no way she'd stand for that shit.

No it never was. Yeah my girlfriend was barely keeping it together sanity wise and physically, she and I are REALLY sore today.

Overall the show was fantastic, I think it's because the Dead Weather have gotten very popular over the past year for obviously many reasons. Also the local radio station promo'd the hell out of it with the listeners being able to access the same pre-sale tickets as vaulers on the same day. With all of those things in place, with sound academy, I knew it wasn't going to be the same show I'm used to. But then again, even with all the bullshit that took place.

The Dead Weather Fucking Rule.

PS. Kinda funny, my girlfriend has red hair and was front row, and man Jack loves red heads, he was staring at her pretty much during his entire solo. She was flattered, I forgot about the red-head obsession and thought he was staring at me haha. Shucks, I shoulda known better. But then again I was wearing Vault #1 T-shirt.

PSS: Anyone have Amber's email? I really want to get to the bottom of this poster thing.

My Pics from the show. I didn't take them, the lady did, I was too busy getting my brains blown out the back of my head with Alison 2 feet away from me. Front row center. I did pass these through photoshop. Some are better than others.
