From Jeff: with out question the portland show was awesome. i don't know what it was but soemthing was just different that night. there was a lot of energy from the whole band and everything was tight. i don't know what it was i saw them in seattle and it just wasn't the same experience. it could be that i actually knew the songs this time that made a huge differnece....or the fact that scott wasn't sick. all of the friends that i took were not huge VR fans but they were all very impressed and are now converted! > >the following day people were calling into the radio and raving about how great the concert was. i heard that they (radio station) actually spoke with duff and he said that this was one of the first times that they actually were all healthy which contributed to the fact that the show had so much energy. portland hasn't seen these guys in years. the last time slash came here was with blues ball and duff came here with loaded so we've been starving for these guys. > >i took about 45 pics. i wasn't sure if you would like me to e-mail them to you or burn them on a cd and send them to you. majority of the pics are hazy from the smoke in the building but some came out pretty good. > >jeff
