Sorry for the delay, I didn't have enough sleep to function  properly!  And 
had 2 days without internet connection.
10 Dec:  I won't waste time telling you about the opening  band, Bloodiest. 
 I'll just say that they were more tolerable than  I expected, but I never 
want to hear them again.  The setlist  was:  
Tomorrow's World
Love Like Blood
Change
Wardance
Absolute Dissent
Bloodsport
European Superstate
This World Hell
Fall of Because
Ghosts of Ladbroke Grove
Madness
Requiem
Primitive
The Great Cull
Asteroid
The Wait
Psyche
Complications (they skipped this for encore)
Eighties (they skipped this for encore)
Pandemonium
There wasn't much banter from Jaz, but Geordie was quite animated  & jolly. 
 The stage was small, but Jaz moved about as best he  could.  Luckily the 
Empty Bottle didn't have anyone searching our  bags for cameras at the door, 
so it was a photographer's dream!   And today's project, for me, is tweaking 
the 150 or so photos I took  & posting the best.  The encore consisted of 
Pandemonium, which  disappointed anyone in full view of the set list (see 
above).  The  place held about 350 people & 80% of them arrived 5 mins. before 
KJ  went on.  There were 3 styles of T-shirts at the merch  table:  the Pope 
& Nazis design, gray lightning bolt w/face  design, & Absolute Dissent; 
Youth's book of poems & mini art  pieces.   They also had the new cd & the grey 
shirt/hoodie  version.
11 Dec:  Much better performance.  Oh, Beak was the  opener but I was not 
there yet.  Too busy having excellent food  over at Owen & Engine!  ;)  I got 
there as they were  ending, & I can tell from everyone's faces, that they 
weren't very  tolerable.  KJ were more energetic.  There was more chat from  
Jaz between songs, but our faces droped a bit when the SAME song list  came 
out!  Sigh.  Oh well.  At least they did  Complications & Eighties this 
time.  As I said, the stage was  tiny, so there were a few times Jaz bumped into 
Geordie's guitar &  Geordie gave him a look as to say Hey!  Quickly 
followed by a  smile.  The crowd was mainly 40+ & most travelled from afar, so  
everyone knew why they were there.  And this was a 1st for me in  Chicago, 
because all the shows I attended there were mainly just the  curious who knew 
Pandemonium/Millenium/Eighties.  A refreshing  change.  I finally got to meet 
Reza & as I was leaving, was  lucky enough to meet Big Paul.  His drumming 
was incredibly  powerful, both nights.  It was wonderful to meet some 
Gatherers  from F.B. too.  A good time was had by all!
