I must say that I had no real expectations upon going to this show. I love Texas Is The Reason and always have. Im not an old guy so I had prior interaction to compare them to. I think I had the mentality that every band is getting back together, so the show will most likely be special and sound good. However, this was not the case. All of the bands prior to Texas played mediocre at best, which is probably another reason behind my attitude and why I didn't expect much.
The lights dimed along with the house music, "Do You Know Who You Are" crept over the loudspeakers. A few moments passed and the band enters the stage and wait until the music stops. They dive right into "Back And To The Left" as if they couldn't have picked a better way to open the set. The room was pure nonstop energy from the moment that song struck until the house music came back on after their set.
It was probably hands down one of the best performances of any band that I have seen in a long time, if not for sure on my top 5 list. And im not saying this as a huge texas is the reason fan because Im not. I love that band but I wouldn't call them obsession like Quicksand in that essence. The best part of the experience would have to be seeing their guitarist Norman Brannon at the Laundromat the next day. We both were their for the same reason, washing a few sweaty, dingy garments from the previous night.
