Freedom Jam '05

70 bands, three stage and 6 hours of live music...
The main stage was just extra-ordinary - to LOOK AT!! It was huge and had some 170,000 Watts of raw power!! Well, that was for the really big bands...(decade old types) , Then there was the small second stage where all the upcoming bands had gathered. Everyone was there...Whitenoiz, Inviktus, Extinct reflections, KCOR, Encychropaedia, etc, and of course us. The day was wholly disappointing as we , being a new band, got relegated to the third stage the smallest. One fourth of the second in size... I spent almost 7 hours battling the heat, frustration and pique of my fellow band members. At last, tired and hurting all over , I smoked up...and then everything was GREAT!!! ALL the pain disappeared along with any memory of the lyrics...I had to read the stuff on stage....and we fucked up to hell and back...and yet I had an awesome time screaming the highest notes that I have ever screamed...
Defining moment of the night....Extinct reflection..with prasad on vocals...what presence and what sound...this was on the second stage...although it doesnt feel that great to be relegated, but well this was dimentia's second gig...and we stank...Pretty much the entire band was stoned....BIG STAGE was a sqib...nothing exciting ... just a couple of geriatrics pretending to be rock stars...
