August 7th, 2008 - 68AD at The National Underground "NYC"
68AD plus special guest vocalist Paul Petruccelli
Quotable quote: "Nobody buy any more drinks.." Suzette
A short 42 minute set featuring the meat of our "A" material. The club was smaller than we expected to say the least, picture 68 A.D. playing in your family room and that's about the size of it. The house supplied drum set was not only small in size but was also of very poor quality. All of this against us we still played our hearts out. The intital assault into Neil Young's Tonight's The Night was at stage volume usually reserved for outdoor festivals. It was loud!!! An acoustic version of No Pennance right into Hell's Tenants and then we were right in the pocket with a good clean mix. The songs that followed were Wishing Well, Your Grace, Die in my footsteps, Ground Zero, The CountDown, Walter Reed, and The Riddle of Life. The hilights included playing Ground Zero in NYC and the 3 minute pre-solo for the Riddle of Life. Being a band that usually plays live sets of 20+ songs we were all dissapointed to play such a short set. We were just getting warmed up, but hey we'll tear it up somewhere soon!!! Thanks again to all who travelled over and under the river to catch this short but sweet set from 68 A.D. see all of you 68 ADdicts soon.

Quotable quote: "Good evening multitudes..." Art
An amazing 35 minute performance...and all six persons in attendence will agree
to it. World premeires* included three originals never before played live, some
deep covers and Art's attempt at harmonica playing. Paul added crucial harmony
vocals and we may see him onstage with the full band in June. Paul also dabbles
in horn playing, including the almighty sax...hmmmmm. Can anyone say "Maverick"?
John's bluesy leads on the Neil Young song were also a highlight.
You had to be there (but probably weren't)!

April 5th, 2008 - 68 AD Played to a packed house in Garwood Saturday night 4/5/2008. The band had a lot of fans in attendance as well as the support of the locals and the others who showed up. The band laid out a blistering one and a half hour aural assault hi-lited by the debut of The Heathen a power thrash remake of Bob Marley's classic song. A rousing version of Walter Reed and Wishing Well were also big hits with the crowd. The covers were led by Hendix's Voodoo Chile which was a crowd pleaser getting a huge response. All in all it was a great set and there is more to come soon!!!
