Time to get moving again. Today Jon is taking me to Hartford to meet up with Damian, a friend from back home who just happened to be in the region so we decided to meet up. Our first impression of Hartford was just what a dump the place was. Maybe it was just the area we were in, but it was very ghetto, not a place I feel I need to return to in a hurry. But we were not there to sight see, we were there for the greatest band in the universe.
We went down as soon as Damian arrived for the meet and greet again. Got there as they were already starting already. They were joking around with the crowd, asking what to play next. Someone yelled out "Shining Star" (not part of the set list) and they played the opening few lines to it which was cool. Then someone asked for The Rock That Makes Me Roll (which is part of their set list) and they made out that they hadn't played it for years and they would give it a go and played it right through.
After the meet and greet we took off to find food. After driving around Hartford we decided it would be best to bet KFC and head back to the hotel. This time we made it back in time for the openers. Once again they were great. Stryper came out and delivered once again. Again they were able to get through the whole show if only minor difficulties. Still had the two songs missing, I do hope they will reappear later. However, I think this was their best show so far. Mike is warming into the screams a bit more. The music was tight and some (but not too much) funny banter with the crowd. It was also the closest I have been to catching a bible so far lol. Robert continues to rock the drumming. He has this awesome thing he does on "Calling On You." Awesome!
