Flight To Mars Tour news

[PJFAN13]

Just got home from the San Diego gig...
HOLY SHIT!!!
FTM rocked the house - played a TON of killer UFO tunes, and brought out a special guest at the end of the show...
ACE MUTHAFUCKIN FREHLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW
Black Diamond with the band and it rocked!!!!
Mike was literally 3 feet away all night, Paul signed my Klausen poster, got 2 "Michael McCready FTM" pics and the Casbah might be the single greatest place to see a live band...
Arrogant Bastard on tap (as well as Stone IPA) didn't hurt the cause either
The Sabbath chick band rocked balls too...
What a great night...
If you can, get to a FTM show immediately - Mike so enjoyed it, Tim, Gary and Paul certainly are in top form...
WOW - amnesia couldn't make me ever forget what I witnessed tonight...
Cool thing - Ace played with the boys @ the Borgata in '05 - and I happened to be there. The fact he did Black Diamond tonite was incredible...Not sure, but it might be the only 2 times Ace and Mike jammed together - can't believe I was in attendance at both!!! As a KISS fan also, doesn't really get much better than this!!!
Feeling fortunate and grateful & the ears are ringing like a bitch

Loved it, loved it, loved it.

Seeing Mike in such a tiny place was beyond cool. I mean, the whole of The Casbah might be about the size of half a basketball court, and that's probably being generous, so that was great to see him up close. And the band was really, really good as a whole. Better than I would've expected. Plus Ace Frehley? Come on.

The one negative, if I can channel my inner 'angry old man' (I'm 42, that's old, right?). People...people. Enough with the camera phones! I get it, it's our boy Mike. He's right there in front of you. But my god, take two or three pictures and then enjoy the rest of the show. I was only about 10 people deep but I could barely see him through the sea of arms and flashing devices held over everyone's head the entire show. The cat next to me must've taken 200 pictures....no exaggeration. I hope this isn't the new norm but I fear that it already is....

Everyone had a GREAT time and the benefit show in Santa Ana was AWESOME. A BIG thanks to Mike, FTM and all the Wishlist crew for doing a fantastic job for a great cause. Just a fabulous time, the VIP packages are incredible and I highly recommend going to the other FTM shows. It's for a great cause and you won't be disappointed!!!!! Another BIG thank you to the Wishlist crew. The time, effort and care you guys/girls put into making these benefit show's a success is greatly appreciated.

[Gardenparty]

Troubadour site is usually pretty acurate. if anything it will bump back 10-15 minutes

FTM at 10pm

I was thinking of going to the King game before FTM, but I don't want to feel time-pressured in case they go to OT!

Gotta agree - the camera phones were out of control. Fantastic show though. Mistress of Reality - Must see. So fun, and the bass player was especially kick ass. Ears are still ringing though, forgot just how loud of a place the Casbah is.

I don't understand why people take so many photos....I understand taking a few to show your friends, etc, but spending the entire show fussing with a camera? I prefer watching the show, and taking mental pictures!

I was front row in T.O. for 2 shows in 2006. I started taking photos, and anytime a band member came very close, I'd fuss with the camera to get a few photos....I then realized how much of a distraction it was to me, as well as those around me. These days, I just focus and get lost in the show, without worrying about anything else!

Great, Fun Show in Vegas!!!! Won raffle autographed Klausen poster signed by whole band. Buddy paid 50$ for his! Got 2 picks and an autographed ticket stub by Mike. Met Mike and chatted a bit after the show.

The Sabbath tribute band was kick ass. FTM covered Zeps Ramble On and ACDCs Sin City to close out a great night. Glad I went.

[Gardenparty]

per Duff Mckagen twitter, he will be joining the band tonight. Hope we get another guest or two as well!
