May 1, 1999 - Vienna, Austria

by Jkob - Jkob@aon.at

Hey, its me again.
I arrived at the venue about 3 hours early, and immediately met Mikey again in the crowd (with 2 bodyguards, although nobody recognized him). 5 minutes later I saw him again. Then I tried to find the tourbus and finally found it, because I still remembered it from yesterday. Me and my friends sat down at a bench next to it. Mikey kept coming out, and later Roy was always outside it talkin with fans. I asked him if Chino and other special guests were going to be on it, and he said probably not. He also said that it was comin out in 2000, that its gonna be more tribal stuff, more experimental, really cool. He had the flu BTW. Then we still talked about his dreads, New York, JNCOs, and some other stuff. At the end he also signed my pants, so now I have Mikey's and Roy's autograph on them. Show started at 9:30, pretty late. Setlist almost the same as yesterday:

Eye For An Eye
No Hope No Fear
Spit
Bleed
Tribe
Straighthate
Bumba
Quilombo
Deftones/Nailbomb medley (Headup/Wasting Away)
Bumklaat
The Song Remains Insane
Fire
No
(about 1 hr NOT more)
Played everything like yesterday, only it sounded MUCH better, probably cuz there were much more people (I'd say about 1000), because the whole thing was outdoor, and the speakers were defenitely MUCH bigger. I was first row again, and it was really extreme, couldnt get any air most of the time cuz they were always pushing from the back. Lotsa crowdsurfers came over the front, 2 people or so fainted, got pulled over front, 1 guy got beat up by securities cuz he didnt want to leave. The show was also much better than yesterday, they all got really into it, jumpin around the whole time. The section of Bumba where Marcello, Mikey, and Max got the huge toms out sounded and looked even better today. Instead of Mikey, there was this little girl (or was it a guy) though, and (s)he kinda got lost. It still sounded awesome though. The whole show was almost perfect, better than yesterday in Oberwart. During No I ran to the tourbus and waited for Max to come. He came, with a towel over his head, with 2 bodyguards. It was really funny cuz 2 people were just walkin around there, he ran out in front of them, and one of them was like "Hey that was Max Cavalera!!". Mikey came out next, and was, as always, really friendly to fans, sayin he was gonna ask Max to come out. Didnt come out though. Roy came next, and went into the bus. He came out later, sayin that Max and Marcello were already in bed, but he took my ticket, another guys shirt, and my friends wallet in the bus and got Marcello and Max to sign them. My friend only got Roy and Mikey. I got all 4 on my ticket, gonna frame that ticket and put it on the wall. We still saw Gloria, Max and Mikey standin together in the bus, but they didnt come or look out, so we left. Best night of my life.
IN THE NAME OF GOD
LET YOUR SOUL FLY!!!
