1997 -- Amy's Campus 2000, Youngstown, Ohio.
Pondering on Pickle, by Heinrich.
I kept wondering
whether we'd be able to top our previous show in Pittsburgh once we
arrived back in Youngstown to rock Amy's Campus 2000. When we first
arrived around nine o'clock, the place wasn't even open, and we all
thought that it might have closed down. Thankfully, it hadn't and we
slipped into our rock 'n' roll mode quite easily after that. The opening
band, Clock Eating Planet, were simply incredible, with catchy riffs and
notable energy -- you've all got to check these guys out. They kind of
sound like Black Sabbath, but with a welcome sense of humor.
When we took the stage, it was again a rather tight performance, will all
positive and
necessary elements intact. However, some people seemed disappointed that
we only played for a little over an hour, but we always make the point of
rejecting filler material. We even tried a cover song which didn't pan
out as well as expected, but it was fun anyway. Also, the club itself is
a great place to play - it's clean, well-designed, and the management are
really cool people.
Turn up the radio,

Amy's Campus 2000, Yo., Oh.
Saturday night turned out to be a lot colder than Friday, but
nevertheless, the rock must roll. We arrived ayt Amy's slightly before
the owner and waited in the cold. Fortunately, one of us stays on the
northside of Youngstown and was able to stay warm while the others waited
in the bitter cold weather. The owner arrived and thus began a rock and
roll extravaganza. We shared the bill that night with Youngstown's own,
Clock Eating Planet. Made up of some boys from the days of the Penguin
Pub. Andy, Shane and Mark took to the stage and the power trio began to
rock the house. Andy and his vocal effects box taking you to new astral
plains. blowing the sound barrier with their space-like charm as the
alien took me into the sun. Andy walked me around an experience that not
even Uriah Heap could top. Demons and Wizards was a good album but
nothing beats a dose of clock eating planets. Pickle rocked as usual.
