The bands will play in historic downtown Brenham in the Courthouse Square. From what I understand, concert-goers can bring lawn chairs and blankets, and there will be food and drink on sale. (You know that Brenham is home to Blue Bell Ice Cream, right? The very best ice cream in the world! Surely there will be plenty of flavors to choose from. I can’t wait! lol) It promises to be a great night and a big crowd if the weather holds.

I was going through photo directories so that I could do some archving, and came across shots of Jailbreak from a gig in April that had never even been processed.

So here they are. Now I’m off to look for more lost goodies.

They were very good, and I took a few shots.

We only stayed for half of their set because my allergies were killing me, but we were there long enough to see Gordon, and his son who had just returned from Iraq. Powerload honored his service to our country by bringing him up to the stage to do shots. The crowd gave thJust back from Iraqe soldier a rousing ovation, and I’m sure there were many people thoughout the night thanking him for his service. I’m sure Gordon, himself a career soldier, must have been proud. I know I was!

You can view the photos here.

Seen in the crowd were John Adams of Jailbreak, Rob Howl of Midnight Circus, the incomparable shredder Ajax, Randy Dickey of Damascus, Bobby Blotzer of Ratt, Lee and Val Seals of WolfeBlitzer, Joe Caine -formerly of Escape and Mystic Cross, Jeff Clifton and Chuck McFadden of Azreal’s Bane, Donny Bragg, and many more. Other partygoers included Cindy Close, Mike and Alpha Settle, Pam Thompson, PV, Dara Springer, Jackee Clifton, Libby Conway, Cindy Dickey, Andrea, and Kymberly.

Abbey Rode started the festivities off with a true-blue set of Beatles music. In what’s becoming an Abbey Rode tradition, the birthday boy and 40 of his closest friends joined them onstage for “Birthday.”

Already Gone took the stage next and had the crowd cheering and singing along. One word – INCREDIBLE! If you haven’t seen them, and you like the Eagles, this is your group! Also making an appearance during their set was Bobby Blotzer, who guested on drums during “Long Run.”

Ratt tribute band Back For More capped the evening off with headbangin’ classics like “You’re In Love”, and of course, “Round and Round.”

Photos will be up soon.

I turned in almost 30 photos to Jay of Abbey Rode. From there, he’ll choose which ones they want on their site. I’ve posted the 10 that I think are the best – mostly crowd shots. (The lights bit that night. The guy that was supposed to run them didn’t show up, so whatcha gonna do?) In any case, we managed to pull out a few good ones.

If you were in the crowd and don’t see a photo that you were expecting, contact me. If you are the couple that was celebrating your 23-year anniversary, contact me – I have more photos for you!

It’s not exactly the way I wanted it, but what remains to be done are mostly cosmetic issues, and I’m tired of having an outdated site!

I have some “new” photos up of Sound Breaking Ground and Damascus, including a shot of some very popular audience members. I also have some photos in the chute of Already Gone’s debut performance, along with photos of the first band on the bill, Abbey Rode. (Lots of crowd shots, too. If you were in the audience, be sure to take a look – you’re probably in there.)

Those boys put on a hell of a show. They pulled in a good-sized crowd, and notable amongst them were Chuck Wright (bassist, Quiet Riot), Keri Kelli (guitarist, Alice Cooper, Slash’s Snake Pit), and Bobby Blotzer (drummer, Ratt.)

Stride at the Toyota Center

To all of the friends and family that I mercilessly pestered for votes, your time and diligence paid off and are VERY appreciated. Stride performed last night with Bon Jovi and was fantastic! Of course I took my camera and I’ll be posting the pics later.

Thank you all again!

Dani

Bon Jovi is choosing their opening act here in Houston by taking an online vote. Jay is friends with Mattie and Joel of Stride and we want to do our part to help them get it, because, frankly, they deserve it. In addition to being friends, they are some of the finest musicians we know.

Now, you know I don’t send things via email, so this is obviously important to me. I am sending this to every one of my friends, and hope that you’ll also forward this. Feel free to provide my email as a reference.
