Well IM back from Chicago finally and ahd a blast at both Mansona dn Meat Beat...Ill review the meat beat show later but heres a few of my notes to go along with AMy's review

his was teh closest thing to a PERFECT Manson show I've seen, at least since Jan 96...its also the only show since thenIve seen them complete.

NOtes on teh setlist: Reflecting God...it seemed much grander on this tour than on DTTW altho he generally abandoned the chorus for shot mutherfukker Cake..excellent drum solo *I think thats when he solo'd...to give Mnason time fr the stilts in Mech Animals, hich was quite good User Friendly had a different bridge once, something to the effect of IM not in love but I wanna fuck you in teh ass. Im wanna fuck your mom and dad"
Lunchbox was quite good and it was very nice to see teh SD solo actually PLAYED for a change :) the dancers were funny esp during User Friendlya nd Drugs IHA had a fantastic jam session everything was noisy and loud and a bit murky soundwise...Madonna's hair loked like drumsticks by the end of the show Twig puked toward teh end Someone with a better view said that before Manson came out in the cop shirt and flag he did a line of coke *dunno if true or not* The keyboard guitar made a return :) and we werent subjected to Manson trying to play :)
I loved Twig's bass synth No mistakes taht night, Manson's mic was out for all of 5 seconds during a song and that was it "My name is Marilyn Manson and Im a DRUG ADDICT!"
We hate cops we love drugs was funnya s hell

during IHA, everyone in teh crowd was flipping him off but me *well at elast from my viewpoint* and he looked down at teh end of the TY where I stood behind Phoenix and stared right at me for about 3 seconds. Shivers ran all teh way up and all my hair stood out and I had a huge grin on my face during the cacaphony that is teh end of taht song. Manson apparently collapsed and was carried offstage, altho it almost looked like he was fighting the stagehand in the strobes. More later but tahts teh main stuff
