Panta, all day long!! Its been two years!! We're hitting Landry's and Fox. We'll be playing darts! Come on over. I'm the one with the beautiful wife! Lived in The Woodlands for years, now we're up in Dallas. The Pavilion is such a better venue. South Dallas is no bueno por la caca! Still have family in Spring to drive to and from the show. No parking hassles this year!! Hope to see some fellow ants there!

You can occupy the time by watching all my drum covers!

The new song- well, it was new to me, so I'm 80% sure it's new. If I'm wrong I'm sure I'll be banned, but hopefully I'm not. I dug what I heard. I won't say anymore- let you all be the judge, but I liked it better than Mercy.

Stay tuned!

Thanks Anthony, you rock! Still want my extra ticket?

Not trying to be the bearer of bad news but I was there and I didn't hear any new song. The list he gave earlier was correct, but instead of the new song I had full band Sweet.

full band Sweet? interesting...

[BigEyedIdiot]

A matter of fact, after going back and looking at the list again I'm 99.9 percent certain that's it. It was full band Sweet. Nothing new, but it sounds really nice full band. It started with Dave solo and then the band came in with just Carter doing hits during the "cover me" part and then the full band coming into the song.

Oh and I'm a hundred percent certain it was not Dave on the keys at the end of full band Mercy.

[specialanthony]

You are correct! Feel free to ban me, as I had yet to hear Sweet. So new to me, but not to all you guys.

Sorry!

But yes, full band, thought it was good. Video uploading.....

[BigEyedIdiot]

I honestly wasn't very impressed with full band Mercy. It seemed very basic. Nothing much different from the Fallon version except the end, the keyboard solo was pretty good, Boyd's solo at the end was muted and not memorable. Full band Sweet was better in my opinion. You Never know sounded good, they played it like four times, Eh Hee got a few plays, If I Had It All and Grace were standard. Dave flubbed Beach Ball a few times.

Still will be interesting to see/hear anything you got - thanks a lot for the updates....

[BigEyedIdiot]

Why I Am was also sound checked and Tim played Cornbread's verse a few times as well.

Thanks for the updates as well.

Did they check said lasers?

.

[BigEyedIdiot]

I'm thinking Fonz might have been playing keys in Mercy because I heard no bass in the outro. Also Rashawn was either absent or completely unnoticeable in everything except the end of Beach Ball.

[BigEyedIdiot]

I didn't see any lasers. Just the normal light blue lights.

[specialanthony]

Briefly saw them last night, and one of the pavilion security guys was chatting with me about how they re did the lights this year and they are amazing.

Did they do the jam in beach ball?

Cool thanks.....

Stefan tweeted a while back he played a Rhodes keyboard on the album so it's a good bet that it was him....

If you are talking about the jam they did at Woodlands a few years back, then no. It was standard like we heard from the studio version.

[BigEyedIdiot]

I'm thinking Sweet is probably on the new album and if that is the case I just find it odd that we would have two songs off the album and Carter is so muted in them. He just really did not stand out in either, maybe a little at the end of Sweet, but that's it really. But maybe they aren't wanting to show their full hand on those two new ones either. We shall see I suppose.

[specialanthony]

Yeah, I'd agree- with it being soundcheck/rehearsals, they certainly aren't pulling out the stops. I could hear it in Dave's voice too, and barely heard any Carter singing either.

[justink]

i hope we get something new other than Mercy this weekend.

I'm with you. I don't see them playing anything other than "Mercy" and "Sweet". Sucks but I'm just stoked to hear full-band "Mercy"
