Back in the Commonwealth after a 24 hour adventure to NY3.
Q: NY3?
A: click here
Actually that’s a different version than what we group up with, but … you get the point. New York City.
Q: I hear there were multiple cases of “Upper Decking” it going on. Is this true?
A: You’ll have to see the documentary.

We met Tech Support and walked The High Line en route to “Tortilla Flats”
then it was to “Johnny Bar” and “Hogs and Heiffers”:
somehow we proceeded to “Colichio and Sons” for sustenance:
Then we made it to the show:
click here for a bit. no need to watch it all if interested in watching the full documentary sometime. But both may be just fine …

then we made our way back:
So many good things to say about the Event, the itinerary, The Host (for this: not me), and The Mission.
I do hope you’ll be in audience some day to the forthcoming film: “The Mission to See The Mission IV: NY3”
more words later.

What a great adventure!!
Just through the first minute and a half of concert, but so far, a great opening. The Host’s shouted approval really gives a solid bedrock of approval! Nice atmospherics from the lighting and the feedback, and the buzz of the live of the crowd really captures the promise of what we all must have dreamed of in 1985 what seeing The Mission in NYC could be like. Surely, Tech Support must have been wiped. There is nothing that one can do to prepare for the fullness that happens when the NTS blows into town. Even if that town is NYC. Maybe for those who lived through it Led Zeppelin’s pass throughs could be used as a parallel, but even that is unlikely.
