Rage at Roseland Ballroom, October 2nd By J. I've seen PE a few times, & this was my 10th time seeing Rage.� Although they're my favorite band I'll be honest & admit their performance today was less than stellar...Good but not up to Rage's usual level.� PE were The shit!..they gave a more heartleft performance than Rage did.� Chuck & company went all out to put on a good show since this was the beggining of their world tour, while Rage seemed to just go thru the songs & gave the shortest set I have ever seen them play.� The first song to me sounded like the regular "Maria" from that live MP3 going around; not the "Testify/Maria" hybrid.� Guess remains to be seen which song will be which on the album.� As always "Calm Like a Bomb" was awesome, & "Guerrilla Radio" sounds better live than on MP3.� Maybe I seen them too many times now, but to me the best songs were the new ones; "Born of a Broken Man" still sounds great live.� I was expecting a lot of new songs but dissapointingly; "Sleep Now in the Fire" was the only new song I'd never heard before today.� "SNITF" is a bit different, the begining sounds almost like an 80s-metal song.� Again; Public Enemy was great.� They seemed to run out of time which didn't make sense since Rage played short...and they didn't collaborate on stage either.� Still, It was a regular good Rage show & PE saved the day.
