Having made my way down the front for the first two bands, there was absolutely no way I was going to be able to reach the front for the headliner - Geoff Tate, whose album 'Mindcrime' was being performed in full tonight.
My first 'indoor' gig since being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease at the Queens Hall, Nuneaton. As I was pretty sure that the night was going to be a sell out (it was) I contacted the venue to see whether they had an accessibility area as there's no way I could stand for 4 hours. They kindly provided us both with tall bar stools at the back of the venue. The Hall was fairly empty at the start of the evening, but it wasn't long before I had to put on the mask I'd brought with me.
I think that'll be the last indoor gig for a while until I can get my medication down to a level where I'm no longer autoimmune (2 more steps on my tapering schedule, so possibly another 4-8 weeks)

“Your mind tricked you to feel the pain of someone close to you leaving the game of life. So here it is, another chance wide awake you face the day. Your dream is over... or has it just begun?”
Silent Lucidity: Queensryche, Empire
Queensryche had a loyal following years before this song and album came out, especially after Operation Mindcrime. But when this album hit the market and the world of M Tv, this exploded everywhere. It’s a great song and just like every other Geoff Tate song, the lyrics really make you think and are brilliantly written.
I don’t have bad or vivid dreams too often, but when I do I think of this song. When I went through quitting smoking and was on Chantix I had very, very lucid and vivid dreams (Thank God I quit and was not on that medication very long!).
*** Artist Notes ***
Waking from the bad dream…
Lyrics:
Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help you see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity
Visualize your dream
Record it in the present tense
Put it into a permanent form
If you persist in your efforts
You can achieve dream control
Dream control
I'll do better than that
Dream control
Dream control
Dream control
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...
I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help to see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you....

I might take this theme literally and share with you photographs of some of our favorite bands (and singers) ;) Don't look for quality pictures here - these have a lot of sentimental value and little artistic contribution (as for example this one - zero :) ). But they were all taken during happy times, and they make me smile and hear the music in my head every time I see them.
Chris - looking as happy as a kid meeting Micky Mouse - on his birthday in 2003, in New Orleans, with Geoff Tate from Queensryche. We watched them for the first time that night, at the House of Blues - we drove from Jackson, MS for the show.
After the show, Chris convinced me to wait and see if we can sneak a peak at the band as they were leaving. I wasn't that keen on it. But Geoff Tate came out to meet his fans - and in the craziness there I manged to get his attention (Me - the big mouth... ) by asking him if he knows where's we're from, so he looked at us - I said "Romania, and we're huge fans of yours!" Then I also shouted "And it's HIS birthday tonight!", pointing at my speechless husband :) So Geoff wished him Happy Birthday and posed with him for a picture :)
I think Chris wore this same exact grin on a face for at least another week :)
All alone now
Except for the memories
Of what we had and what we knew
Everytime I try to leave it behind me
I see something that reminds me of you
Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the star
