Norfolk, VA - The NorVa Angie - 12.31.03 I just had to do it. And by 'it', I mean 'fly halfway across the country (again) to Norfolk, Virginia to see the 2 Skinnee J's play a kick-ass show'. New Year's Eve, baby. Amazing show. Huge crowd (though a little asshole-ish, at times). The J's, who I have been missing like crazy as of late, taking the stage promptly at midnight and playing a 26-song set that lasted two hours. But the definite highlight of a highlight-filled night: SECRET muthafucking FREQUENCY. I could not believe my ears. Or my eyes. Because seeing the J's come onto the stage for the encore with Eddie on guitar and Lance on bass is just kinda... odd. But in a good way, of course. Setlist: 01. Horns of Destruction 02. Friends Don't Let Friends Listen to Rap Metal 03. Irresistible Force 04. Mind Trick 05. Riot Nrrrd 06. Wild Kingdom 07. Pass the Buck 08. Deal of the Century 09. The Whammy 10. Pluto 11. Big Beat Evangelists 12. You're a Champion 13. Next Big Thing 14. The Good, The Bad, and the Skinnee 15. One Summer 16. Girl With the World in Her Eyes 17. Who Wants This 18. BBQ 19. Get in the Van 20. Stumpy 21. Loud Neighbor 22. Sgt. Stiletto 23. 3 Minutes Encore: 24. SECRET FREQUENCY 25. (718) 26. Sugar and Candy I was quite surprised that they didn't play The Best, especially since they played The Best intro... but instead of continuing the song, they launched into BBQ. We were all thrown for a loop, but it was definitely a nice surprise. And I simply cannot end this mini-review without mentioning yet again that they played Secret Frequency. Yeah, did you see that?! SECRET FREQUENCY. I slipped into a state of euphoria for about four and half minutes, and didn't come out of it until the next morning. They played Secret Frequency. They did. I heard it. With mine own ears. Thanks once again for a fantastic show, guys. Let's do it again next year. <====
