Goddamn them. I'm liking A Place In Your World and can't stand it on the album. I knew this was going to happen. Gotta give big props to Casey as he seems to really be the guy instead of hired help. Not to say that was the case but I read a interview - http://vintagerock.com/index.php?opt...views&Itemid=4 and I realized yeah, he was a bit out of his element on the first tour. He handled it extremely well but wouldn't you be nervous going on stage with those guys?
They seem so much more of a band on this, but maybe that's because they weren't a band before the first album. Not like they paid their dues in clubs as young guys, in this band. to get there and then, of course, we would have had the inevitable sophomore dive.
I think you all get what I mean there. Words escape me sometimes. Dammit.
Very nicely filmed. Sounds good even on my crappy speakers. I've been watching this as I type and I gotta give more kudos to Casey. Read the interview and he had to learn Steve's guitar lines, not a easy task at times and he really seems to have become a confident frontman. Good for him and them.
Seriously, he's playing along side of Steve Morse. That's intimidating. Plus the rest, all accomplished musicians. Nothing nerve wracking going on there.
Still, it can't make me like Mask Machine. To many whoa-whoa's. They got me with APIYW but that ain't a happening here.
Dave LaRue on Neal Morse: "He picked the ones he liked and put about twenty aside", regarding a recent NM album. So I wasn't wrong, he really does write epics while on the john.
So, what's yer all's take on it?
