"You'll see us back in 2004! That's a promise that you can bet your life
on!"
Maybe it's not entirely wise, but I'm going to hold them to this.

A very good evening tonight! Lee's Palace was sold out and there seemed to
be a decent age mix as well.
The Joke were in top form and it was difficult for me to believe that they
cancelled Philly only a couple of days ago.
Our boy Cliff did a great job helping Geordie sound good (and Geordie DOES
seem to be quite the task master. He seemed quite annoyed when there wasn't
a towel handy on top of his amp!). A near perfect performance by our
favourite guitar god.
Ted was fucking great. He's definitely a keeper. I really want to hear him
on a studio album.
Jaz was in a good mood and really seemed to be in his element. No sign of
the flu affecting his performance whatsoever.
Raven was ever aware and looked like he was ready for anything.
To round it all out the keyboards were nicely handled too.
All in all, I'd have to say that maybe it wasn't the most intense KJ show
I've been to, but it's a very close second without question. I'd also have
to say that the sound was DEFINITELY the best that I've ever heard them.
The band had three encores, even though I'm not sure that we got any more
songs than other cities (maybe they were checking to see how Jaz was holding
up). It was great to hear the classics The Wait, Change, Frenzy, The Fall of
because mixed in with the new material. Blood on your Hands, Total Invasion,
Seeing Red and Asteroid really got the crowd going.
At the end of the show, Jaz gave Raven a hug, gave Ted a hands out ehaulted
bow and a hug to Geordie. He patted his heart and thanked the crowd and said
that this makes his life worthwhile. He then shouted out to the crowd
"You'll see us back in 2004! That's a promise that you can bet your life
on!"
I can hardly wait!
Dave
