Is it any wonder King played his triumphant returngig on the 9th? Or that the numbers in 12.06.09 add up to 18? I think not.

It was the show to end all shows. Perhaps not the BEST show I have ever seen but most certainly the most anticipated. I have longed for this my whole life, or so it seems. It took King two songs to find his way again, the voice is a little shaky in the beginning. After that we all felt together that yes - this i going to work. The audience loved him. He loved us back.

I feel honored and privileged to have witnessed this. During Halloween, when Mikkey and Denner joined, my eyes wet a bit. After the show I cried after having the tension and anticipation released at last.

Whatever comes after this will not count. I have stared right down the eyes of Satan. He grinned at me. I grinned back. We felt as one.
