Sanctuary -- Joliet, IL -- January 6th, 2012

Jason, I had a fair amount to drink and wrote in Handful of Rain after I got home from the show so I suspect I put it in the wrong place in the set.

Yes, I was in the Megadeth T-shirt with the Testament hoodie.

I was looking on your facebook and it looks like your next show is on Feb 18 in Crest Hill. Is the time right on the site 1-4 PM? Just clarifying not sure if I can go but I would like to see the band again and it looked like the other bands would be fun to see also.

Let me know and nice job the other night.

Oh man, that show was awesome! All the bands were great. I was really disappointed that Sanctuary didn't play Ascension to Destiny though.

Oh, I actually didn't make the FB event.
The Maiden Chicago guys did!!!!

It is a normal evening show. We go on last, so probably not until 11PM or later.

Glad you liked it!

Thanks, extremely appreciated!
I agree.

FYI I was on the rail I'm front of the bassist and all I could hear was the bass so although I don't play an instrument, I know something about the sound mix was off so I would think adjusting that for your next show would be important. Not sure if it was an equipment thing or sound mix bit either way that would enhance the live experience for the.listener to be able to hear the vocals and guitar too. As a non musician it seemed like you have a pretty capable group and I still enjoyed your band and would look forward to seeing you play agaim in the future.

Sorry if this is off topic, but this is one of the reasons why “on the rail” isn’t always the best place to be. Sure you are close, but in smaller venues you may be TOO close. You may be so close that you are actually getting the raw un-mixed sound directly from the musicians’ stage amps. Sometimes it’s actually better to be a few “rows” back to ensure you are getting the fully mixed sound from the house PA and not the sound from the bands amps.

You'd think so. But at some places. Mostly for me, station 4 in St. Paul, a few rows from the rail is where all the dumbass moshing happens. so for me it's on the rail or in the back.

Looks like exactly the same set they played in Atlanta in September. Are they touring or just playing random shows?

Nope, not a tour.

Just Seattle, Joliet, LA, NY, and then a festival in Germany.

Their full length for Century Media will be released later this year.
