No goatees here. That's just Tim doing his bid to look silly.

I'll probably be wearing a Deep Purple shirt, or possible my
Queensryche net.shirt (!)

Yes I was there also. Excellent stuff, although Joe appeared to be a
dwarf from where I was sitting. Even so, the right hand doing a bar chord
and left hand tapping trick still looked good from the back.

Stuart Hamm was pretty impressive. I've never seen him before and I was
rather impressed. That makes up for the awful support band. Gosh they were
bad. Bring back Adrian Legg, that's what I say.
