Bayshore NY Boulton center

What a fantastic night- It was great to see all of you once again.

As some of you know this was the first Hammer Of The Gods concert of the new year!

The Boulton center is a great intimate room and the acoustics are second to none.

We were a few songs into our sound check before we started grooving with four sticks, a song we were playing that evening and I stepped off the stage to listen ….

Wow the room sounded so bright and clear, I could not wait to get on the stage for the show.

Back stage was a good vibe- some old friends I have not seen in a while, some good food and the usual crazy banter from our sound technicians who are more like family than employees.

I have to say this set list was so different than anything in the past shows; the opening song “In the evening” gave me so much energy! It really set the tone for the evening.

Just when I think it can’t get better the audience brings it to another level!

I thank you for being a part of a special show for me,

Best wishes to all of you.

Thomas.
