I went with my wife, and we caught Sin of Angels, Monstrosity and almost half of Vital Remains. (I had to get up early and they went on a half hour later than posted) She thought Monstrosity was better than Vital, but I thought Vital were better (for what I saw).

I wish Dave was up there, mostly because I just like him personally. I've known Tony for years and years, and he is Vital Remains. Although Dave is clearly very important for the last 3-4 albums, Tony is the last original member.

They are getting flak in the New England area for this constant "guess who?" approach to band members. It makes total sense to me. People become friends with band members who turn out to not be band members. A lot of people were disappointed to not see Anthony sing on the last LP. I think that nationally, people aren't as critical, because everyone was viewing it as being a Tony and Dave band. If they had more of a "band" instead of a studio with touring musicians approach, the flak wouldn't be so bad. The Rev is right about them needing to post up who is in and who is out. Of course, Vital are notoriously slow to ever update their stuff online anyway.

During the show, I thought that my interest in Vital might be fading. I have liked them since their 1989 demo, and I have seen them way more times than I can remember. I thought - with Dave out - that maybe I am not so into them anymore. But what the fuck - since the show I've been listening to Icons of Evil for a couple days on repeat. So apparaetly I'm still into them, hopefully the next album will keep me there.

I assume that they only played songs from the last two albums right? Did they play anything older after I left?
