| Thanks Terry, I always enjoy your reports. If you don't mind, I'm gonna drop a link to my pics from that night in here. The pic files are apparently to big to put here on the Slam Board Photo Albums 
This was the best of the last three shows I have seen. The two Best Buy shows were great, but this was Phenomenal!!!

Location: Baltimore, MD | damn you....this may actually force me to make a facebook page. I was holding out as long as I could... I hope you are able to resize them and post in an album--the website here is a great concert photo archive....
I hope to see them soon--too wiped to figure out facebook tonight...

Another AMAZING road report. You helped me remember things I forgot from Saturday night. Maybe i should start taking notes.
I had a great time at the show. Sorry i missed you and Cindy. I saw Donna and CG Designs between sets. Hope you had a good trip back home. I'll keep your friend in my prayers. Thank you again for giving us all the metal news that's fit to print. |

| I forgot to mention how much fun it was to hear "Heroes Are Hard To Find"
It's a great song and the Boyz did an amazing job on the song.
I'm not sure what other's think but i really enjoyed hearing Heroes on Saturday and "30" during the NY show |

Great report T of course, thank you! What a night! The set list speaks for itself, OMG! Sin After Sin, Heroes Are Hard to Find {VERY SPECIAL done perfectly for the first time live!!!} Under The Blade and OMFG>>>S.M.F.!!!! I've waited so long to hear UTB and SMF once again live I nearly cried! I also wished for.... I AM, I'M ME...but I can pretty much die a happy SMF for now. lol...THANKS BOYZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz! Emotional night for all. 3Up 3Down were an awesome cover band...then Y&T kicked my arse major!!! I've never seen them live and will try to see them again. Great opening bands that I enjoyed rocking to until my fav band took the stage! Lighting was great but not too good for photo taking but will have some in the photo album soon. George ROCKED the soundboard, WOW...since I always stand in the "dead zone' for sound quality, it even sounded excellent there! Great job George!!
Sorry I missed some of you SMF'rs! Meeting 2 new SMF sistas Jennie and Tamara was super! The trip to the diner was pretty much the "motley crew" of rides....if you could have seen it you would have been rolling! LMAO! Thank goodness no cops were around. Ah heck, they would have let us go, I would have just flashed them. {flashed them the benefit T-shirt that is......if I had REALLY flashed them we would have been double fined......hehe..} Thanks "~B"=Bubs, you are such a good sport I love ya ta bits!
Terry, I pray \o/ your friend has a painless recovery. I am thinking of you my friend.
Thanks to those who were able to post some YouTube video's, some were outstanding HD quality!!! Wow..loved them.
DCT, I love you girlfriend!!! Thank you for coming to see us upfront before the show began, you made my night!! Cuz you know you are part of the ORIGINAL SMF Motley Crew!!! haha...
Filler UP....next stop.......only time will tell. Wish you all could have been there always.
~Cyndi
PS: sorry for the delay getting back to my SMF's private e-mails and PM's...the 8 ball always wins in my life lately....ugh.....be in touch soon I promise!!!

Location: Baltimore, MD | awesome thanks for sharing that Cyndi! man, I had to hang on to that front barrier the whole night--my hip and leg were in absolute AGONY. Gotta wonder about the guy with beach ball--he was hugging that ball the entire set.... well, we all have our quirks.
There's nothing like squishing six SMFs into a car that can comfortably hold four...MetalNY's a good sport for sure.

Location: Graveyard BLVD. | You're welcome T,
I hope you get to the bottom of your hip pain, you are amazing to endure so much discomfort all that time standing. Yea, the beach ball thing, what was he doing with it so long? Made me think of "WILSON"....haha....

Location: Dream Street | If I had time to sit down and read your reports I would. My life has gotten nuts lately and there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done! Dude, Terry, you should make an audio file so I can listen to it while I get dressed in the morning or plug in as I pass out at night. And not just for me, I'm sure a lot of people would benefit if it was an audible report.
I gotta tell ya, there's no way I'd be able to do what you do. How you take notes for those 2 hours is beyond me. But you do it and you do it well. I need to let loose at the shows and I'm sure my report would be torn up and drenched with beer half way thru the concert. I don't think I've ever thanked you for this. It's a very nice addition to this site. Good job! No, rather, great job!
I think if I read a paragraph a day of this report I'll be done half way thru April. I'm gonna give it a shot...maybe I can complete it by the end of this month. What can I say, I'm a slow reader. Mix that with ADD and the result is I haven't read an entire book cover to cover in my entire life....well, except for "The Little Engine That Could". Unfortunately my little engine can't.

Thanks J-man! That means a lot to me! I do it all for you, my Twisted family. I really do love you guys--I feel such a kinship at these shows, even when I travel to places by myself, I never feel alone. When I come home and write the report, it helps me feel a little less sad--I feel like I crash after every show.
Here is the Reader's Digest version of my last report.
3 Up 3 Down kicked ass.
Y & T kicked some more ass.
Twisted Sister kicked so much ass that I started in the front row and landed on the curb. It was one serious kick to the ass!
Heroes Are Hard to Find was FLAWLESS. all that, and bagpipes too.
