OMGoodnesss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Started off with 'School'...

Ended off (in the encore) with 'Crime of the Century'....

Rick Davies played 'Downstream' with just him and a piano for the entire song...

7 member band right now, including Siebenburg's son (I think i spelled that
right, and I got the relationship right...)

And Honeywell (again, hope the spellings right) played every type of brass
instrument in the world!!

It was awesome!  It was a great show with little flash to take away from the
fantastic music!

No Fools Overture or Hide in Your Shell--ahh, what'reya gonna do?

Lets see, they played 5 songs from COTC
1 from C?WC?
2 from EITQM
1 (at least) from BIA
I don't think they played any from FLW...
1 from BWYB? (Cannonball--and it was awesome!)
1 from FAAB (free as a bird, as it turns out... :) )
and a bunch from their latest album (which sounded pretty good in concert,
so it's time for me to get the CD)

I think there was 15-18 songs all together--I didn't count 'cause I was too
busy enjoying the 'Supertrampy' atmosphere.

It was the best concert I have ever been to.

The only downside was security impounded my digital camera so I couldn't
take pics :(

Well, that's all from this neck of the woods--I'll just happily wear my new
Supertramp shirt all week now ;)
