Ted Decapitates Raleigh!!! by BB John4

First of all if you don't want to know what Uncle Ted's setlist is, go away now! It has a few surprises.

Arrived at Alltel with my patented no ticket approach near the end of KWS and promptly found a guy hawking an 8th row center seat. Said his buddy hurt his back and couldn't make it. Bad mistake, because Ted would have fixed him right up with some Gibson Chiropractic Manipulations. $10 under face and I'm in. A few minutes later Ray starts singing and I tell all the dumbass sitters around me that when "America the Beautiful" starts, Ted is not far behind. They all gave me a glassy look and smiled.
Ted then went on a rampage for just over an hour, Barry was great, playing really hard and looking happy to be there. Tommy was devastating. His endless high handed smashes
will one day cement him as one of the finest R&R drummers. IMO, he is now.
Ted's guitar playing gets better and better and better AND BETTER!! There is not a microsecond of any song that he is not cramming a bloodcurdling riff into. No lulls, fluff, just .50 caliber, unbridled, raw as it gets, greasy, butt ugly rock and roll. He laid the wood across the bridge of my nose, and I was happy to accept. Loud as hell, I mean loud as HELL! Tonight I accept my punishment again in Charlotte. Hope to see you there.

Maybe slightly out of order. Didn't write them down.

Free for All
Wango Tango (FIRST TIME IN YEARS)
Snakeskin Cowboy (with Red House finish)-one of my alltime favorites
Wang Dang (WOW)
Stormtroopin'
Hey Baby
My Baby Likes my Butter on Her Gritz (couldn't believe it!)
Kiss My Ass (shot Saddam DIRECTLY in the heart with the arrow)
Cat Scratch (set us up)
Stranglehold (knocked us down)
Buffalo (murdered the few remaining people who were still standing with this version)
TRIPLE FEEDBACK, a salute, and to the bus

What a show.

As I had just seen ZZ the prior Sunday, and seeing how they could not possibly follow that carnage, I headed for home, full as a tick with the satisfaction that once again, I was privileged to see the greatest guitar showman, still going strong in his fifties.
Thanks again Ted. See you tonite.
