Nov 09 2002 @ Nosturi Helsinki, FI

I know it was a while ago, but since this was my first gig after being a fan for 13 years, I'll propably never forget it. Can't remember the exact setlist anymore, but I'll do my best otherwise. First of all I was totally flabbergasted to find out that the Bone was about to visit Finland, since I had very much been assured that they didn't exist anymore. So, as I had mourned the loss of my love couple of years earlier, I was on the other hand ecstatic but also veeery confused. What to expect? Would this be the same thing that I had seen on videos years earlier? What songs would they play? Had they released anything in years? Answers to all these were semi-easy to find, so I set to wait for THE day, but still not quite sure what to expect. I Went to the venue quite early with an old friend from high school and his brother (both nice guys, and though had heard Fishbone, more Van Halen-type of people, so they were in for a greater suprise than I was) to see the first band, Deep Turtle, a Finnish version of Nomeansno. Found out during their set, that the Bone-guys were hanging in the audience. (I'll be back with this they're starting some updating at the university, where I'm writing this)....Hope I can continue from here.

I've been quite silent on this list for several years already, but last Saturday night / Sunday morning was too good not to mention. First, I saw a Bone show (Helsinki) for the first time. Before the show, I happened to spot Angelo coming out of a cab so I walked up to greet him, and to tell I'd been waiting for them to come over for 13 years now. Well, did they make it up for the wait...
