Dogstar at the House of Blues

Those stories below are from fans, newspapers reviews and (or) interviews. Thanks to
all of them.

"WOW!!! What a show!! The guys were in a rocking mood down here in New Orleans.

On to the show - I got to the House of Blues around 7:00pm and there was a few
people waiting by the stage door so my friends and I waited also. Michael kept looking
outside because they were just about finished with the sound check and they were
waiting for a couple of taxi's to pick them up. He even let a young girl (under 18) go
inside for a few minutes to take a peek. Her mother and sister told me that they
hope she wouldn't faint. She came out and she was speechless!!

The music stopped and Ken came out and the taxi was there waiting for the guys.
Keanu came out first and he just sort of looked like he wanted to be outside. He
looked up and turned on his heels in a complete circle and then went to the taxi. No
one said anything and he didn't either but he did smile at everyone. He looks real
skinny but he looked great. Rob came out and sat in the back with Ke and Ken had to
call for Brett using his whole name and he came out and sat in the front. I don't
know where they were going because they had already eaten at the HOB. Ken waited
for another taxi and then he left with Michael.

We were able to sit on stools on the floor and had a great view!! Silver Jet came on
about 9:40pm and they were great!! They sure do look real young!! After they finished
they closed the curtains to take their equipment down. At around 10:40 they opened
the curtains and the guys came out. There was a good mix of men and women there
and the crowd got into the songs. This is where Beth and Shirley will be able to tell
ya'll the set list and more details but I will try!!

On the first song Keanu's bass came unplugged and some of the crew was trying to fix
it for him. On the next song he blew his amp so the show stopped and he told the
crowd what he did and then he sat on the floor with his beer and Brett played 32
Stories. Brett told the crowd that Ke has a habit of breaking things and that Brett
doesn't like him coming to his house because of that. He also said Ke broke down one
of his doors. By the end of the song the guys fixed the lamp problem and they were
on a role. All three of them really got into the music and rocked (which the crowd
loved). Keanu would sing to himself and scream back at the crowd or to himself. He
really looked like he was having a blast. Brett threw some water at Ke and he jumped
back to miss it. People from the balcony would scream at Ke between songs and he
would look up and smile or wave. Someone threw him a baseball hat and he made a
funny face when he read what was on it (couldn't see what it was). Someone also
threw him a picture I think and he looked at it and blew a kiss back up to the
person.

The guys were a lot better since I saw them here 2 years ago. You could here Brett
sing and the sound was just right. They came back for an encore and then the show
was over. It was around 12:30am.

We went back outside and we decided to wait a while for them. There was a contest
with the local radio station that let the winners go in for the sound check and also
backstage after the show. I thought they were coming out when 2 taxi's came by but
they were still upstairs. Their bus came by and the crew was busy putting all the
equipment in the bus. The crew was also busy putting food and drinks (beer and
Whiskey) on the bus. I had heard something about they were going to Bourbon Street
with a couple of girls. A woman pulled up with her car and she had cases of beer or
wine for them. One went in the bus and one went upstairs.

It was getting late and we were going to wait fifteen more minutes (it was 2:00am).
Then the door open and Keanu came out and just walked to the bus. People were
taking pics and he was squinting. Never saw Rob or Brett so we left.

Had a great time and didn't think they would sign autographs but that was OK I got
my pic with him and autograph 2 years ago and I just liked the idea of being able to
see him up close.
