IA LOVES Meat

tbuck · 23 Jul 2003, 10:42

Go figure, this is a fairly conservative part of America. They just went nuts. We saw Meat and crew, 7/19 at the Great Jones County Fair, Monticello, IA.

Setlist was the same as WI. They were cramped for time as the fair had races, we saw the sound check, but no band members sang, unlike WI.

In track seating and everyone was standing from the start. Talked to a few folks around us and they were Meat fans big time. All had heard the new CD and bought it over the net. We were in the 5th row, so everyone around us had called within minutes of tickets being on sale. Prolly a nutty group, but hey....these were good folks.

That said, the entire crowd really did like the new songs. Fanatics around us knew it, but I looked back and most in the crowd were just entranced by what they heard. Loved Testfy the most I think.

Jules is working on a more detailed review and I'm working on some oics. Work beckons tomorrow, but we will try to get them up soon.

Never, ever stop ROCKING,
Terry

Hi Terry,

Sound like you two had an amazing time again. Very good to read about this.

Isn't it great to be at a show, meet new people and find you all love ML!
I gues we are all 'nuts'

but that's a good thing!

You know me, always makes me very happy to read the crowd Loves Testify. I also think it sounds fantastic live!

Looking forward to read Jules' review.

Love,

Mariella

Finally got the review in our local paper. Meat was the cover of the entertainment section. :o There is a page up on the IA concert here:

This page includes the pics I took in IA and Jules' earlier review. The newspaper review is in a link at the bottom, includes pics the reporters took. Nice review.

Also on the main page there is a new logo...Betty and Bats! Too cool, wait till you see the entire pic he did, it looks great.

Enjoy, for me this is all about the love of great music. Onward to Detroit and Cleveland!

it is still amazing that he has sold out shows in the States, cause there is not an album yet and the last was 5 years ago.

It's great Bart .. but perhaps not amazing .. he is THE MAN!! .. he is the king of rock .. and as long as he puts a show on there will be plenty of people to fill the auditorium
