You traveled clear up there?

So far all the UK sets have been shortened by 10pm curfews.

And yes, I'm in a hotel at the moment.

Also, there's a tour exclusive cd single of Dante's Inferno 2011. It has a proper version and a "raw" version, which I would bet is the free download version.

Same set in London.

Did White Wizzard play Andy?

We were told they'd had to pull out in London due to a traffic accident.

As a result it didn't seem to make sense cutting the Iced Earth set. Rather than them going on a bit earlier and playing full set, they gave more time to Fury UK (which included padding out time with a drum solo!) and went on at their scheduled time. They then wrapped up by 9.30pm anyway so there was still time ahead of the curfew.

How was Stu's performance?

I assume so. I made every possible effort to avoid both support bands, and succeeded admirably

But their merch was there, and I'm pretty sure the annoyingly loud guys at the bar were from the band.

I had heard about the stupidity of the London show with WW cancelling. They really should have played the full set.

To be honest, I didn't miss My Own Savior, Pure Evil or Days of Rage. But I really wanted to see End of Innocence.

Outstanding. Although 'Declaration Day' and 'Dark City' need work.

Looks like Jon dyed his beard between the London and Birmingham shows

One of Johan's best photosets there though
