WENT TO COLUMBUS WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO SEE GOMEZ AT THE NEWPORT. SIMPLY FABULOUS. TO ANYONE CONSIDERING TONIGHS JAMMIN' ON MAIN SHOW...YOU'D BE FOOLISH TO MISS IT!

Your caps lock is stuck.

They're the main reason I'm going tonight. I wanted to see them in Columbus, but weekday night concerts that take 1 1/2 hours to get to suck nuts. I can't wait to see them...I just wish they were going to be on stage longer than 1 hour.

You extremely lucky ducks! I saw your post in the 'Jammin' on Main' thread, DSM. I just think they keep getting better and better. Do either of you guys know if there are any live boots of Gomez to be found around the net? I haven't looked yet, but thought it might be a question worth asking!!

Since I run a dial up connection at home, I'm not really into the whole music download scene, so I'm not sure. It seems like they have a pretty deadhead-like following, so I wouldn't doubt the existence of bootlegs. Their songs are definitely better live with the extended jams and such. When I spoke to Tom, I mentioned that I was disappointed that they didn't play "Revolution Kind". He said they would have if they had the time. If I would've known how great they were in concert, I would have seen them in Columbus and Cincinatti, and probably in Indiana the next day too.

I have to say, I was really happy they played so much from "Bring It On". I wasn't really impressed with any of the new stuff from "In Our Gun" or any of the unreleased songs they played. I guess I like them for how their music can mellow me out and make me feel good and hopeful, and the new stuff doesn't do that for me.
