3 May 2003, The Masquerade, Tampa, FL, USA
My wife and I flew down from Indy to see the Dregs. As we walked in The Masquerade I immediately noticed the walls and floor were concrete or brick. I could tell through the recorded music played before the concert on the PA that this is an acoustical nightmare for a musician. Notes played seconds before seemed as strong as the current note. Basically this venue was a cement box. Did this stop Steve and the boys from cranking out a great concert? Hell no! Even T. Lavitz had trouble with his equipment but they came out and rocked the place and didn't complain at all. The band in front, Thunder Road, impressed the place with their Allman Brothers tunes. Thank you Dregs of the Earth for a great concert! You all impress the hard to impress!
