Overall, i hope they can make it to the Parkway this year, since I can't make it to Antigua this year.

Also, I was hoping since it was an album release party that they would have their album ready to sell, I guess not.
Yeah I thought they would be selling cds too....and I'm hoping they can make it for labor day too, but if not....there's always Miami!! can't wait for that!

The performance was not bad or great. If you follow Flames for a long time to me it was a 40 dollar waste. These are the reasons why......

1. Started too late and ended too early.

2. Too many pauses in between songs, which made me fustrated

3. Did not introduce the new songs...they played them like it was old songs how could you not have a proper introduction or for that fact a introduction at all? Isnt it an album release party?

4.Did not play "Romans"

5. Did not play "Band meet Band"

6. Did not play "Two one drunk"

7. You could tell they werent prepared...which explains the pauses..

1. Started too late and ended too early. AGREE

2. Too many pauses in between songs, which made me fustrated AGREE

3. Did not introduce the new songs...they played them like it was old songs how could you not have a proper introduction or for that fact a introduction at all? Isnt it an album release party? Well I listened to them on the radio, but they didn't really play any new songs that they haven't played on the radio already

4.Did not play "Romans" - Haven't heard them play this in New York in years

5. Did not play "Band meet Band" - they never really play that here

6. Did not play "Two one drunk" they never really play that here

7. You could tell they werent prepared...which explains the pauses.
They should at least come back for labor day...

well im not a fanatic since onika died....lets be real ...flames arent what they used to be. Their music is ok not great. and besides you cant expect everyone to know whats new! ..... Maybe at any other ordinary fete but it was an "album release" meaning people came to hear the new tunes. Thats mo professionalism on their part.

Flames aren't what they use to be since Onyan left in 1998, eventhough they did have a couple good years after that, unpreparedness is usually the case more than not with them...any long time fan can attest. Their sets are usually extemporaneous, but that at times some parts are predictable.

I am hoping that they do come more prepared next time and that they will make it to the Parkway
