South American Tour Summary- So far...

Here's a little tour update so far:

You can see parts of just about every show we've done on YouTube, as fans are posting up footage immediately after the gig! Just click here and see. Check the related Videos.
Of course the quality varies vastly, but you get the gist...

Below are posts from all the cities we hit...

Santiago, Chile

More TV interviews with Doug. We had 3 days here and no show! The show was first canceled because our equipment arrived late. Over the next day, David got sick and had to follow doctors orders... No show that day either. We're all pretty bummed out. So a few of us went to a local artisan community to browse beautiful handmade goods in what used to be a former monastery. Dirt paths and dirty animals- I loved it! Sorry Chile- I hope we can make it up to you.

Buenos Aries, Argentina

Wow. Def one of our best shows ever- A great venue called Luna Park.
Over 7000 strong here- so strong that we added a second show! The
crowd was moshing to "Love Aint no Stranger"... a first! They sang
along not only with the words, but to the guitar riffs as well! And
when we weren't playing, they sang their own chants. Big stage- Big
crowd- Big fun. We had a lil bar open up for us to have a wicked after
party at- the Red Bell Saloon. Thanks Max.

Porto Allegre

After a great show, we reopened the lobby bar for the band and crew,
then continued the festivities up in Reb's room.

Curatiba

It was nice to go to a much smaller town after being in Sao Paulo. It
was a smaller club ≈2000 people and the place looked kinda western-
wooden structures/balconies. Very fun doing this one.

Sao Paulo

One of the worlds biggest cities. Tons of fans everywhere. Even with
our police escort it took an hour to get to the gig... only a few
miles away! Over 7000 fans at this one.

Rio De Janeiro

Only had 24 hours there. Hung with the crew from Queensryche. A few of
us accidentally went to Help, a discotecque/club full of... working
girls! It was actually a friendly place and fun hang- but they didn't
get my $$$. Got up to watch the sunrise on the beach before taking off.

Belo Horizonte, Brazil

Met with bassist extraordinaire Adriano Campagnani, and had a studio
jam session with him and his brother on drums. We also got out to see
Ironman. The show was well received, as you can see from the video
below... (Leaving Belo Horizonte).

Here we are- just under a minute of footage as we left the venue to get back to our hotel, in Belo Horizonte Brazil. Excellent Crazy fans...

Amazon Rain forest - Manaus

I know I'm skipping ahead here... I still haven't put up my lil montage vid recap of New Zealand with Ozzy. I'll get to it one day!

Until then... We're in Brazil now. I got a chance to visit a wonderful place in the middle of the Amazon rain forest. Here's a slide show of a few pictures.

Ciao

Manaus: Amazon Rain Forest, Brazil

Hot Humid Beautiful Amazonian fun. Spent a lot of time on the Rio
Negro, near where it joins another river (Solomon) to form the Amazon.

Today was also the first day that DC would have me do TV interviews with Doug.
