The concert was at Southpark meadows. Large concrete flat area (short person hell) and a grassy hill which was great for kicking back on for the non-Type O shows.:)
With three acts, roadies would charge the stage like the Indy 500 pit crew between acts. Type O managed to wiggle their way in. The most visible one was Kenny who kept himself busy tuning. Peter was lurking backstage talking (actually laughing and smiling which I thought was an unknown thing) until zero hour. Everyone else was in black, Peter was wearing a neon green tank top ("Yikes! That's green.") After the bottle of red wine was in place, everything got started. Peter throughout the show had his haired tied back until the last song. He pretty much stayed put where he was in front of the mike. The band was very workmanlike in their approach. Josh looked positively possessed in front of the keyboards. Got to see for the first time how much vocals the rest of the band contribute. Actually, got to see for the first time how the band acted as a unit. More to the point: got to see them for the first time actually move (You mean Type O really exists outside of a pissy newsgroup?)

Sepultura was the media favorite in the Austin newspapers to "take over the show". Although there was a lot of Sep's fans out there, the crowd response was suprisingly sleepy. Type O's crowd when it rolled forward was more wild and into the show. Looked to me that they took over. There was a mosh pit a la MTV up front, the more traditional slamdancing towards the left, and and even more old-fashioned slugfest on the right. Of course, Ozzys crowd was huge. I came for Type O, so I hung out by the hill and kicked back for that part. Bought the Type O bandana, didn't see anything for sale except that and the Christian Woman, Casket Crew, and the female 69 t-shirt. The best item was the football jersey marked "Ozzy: 666". $125. Yeah, sure.

Song order:

• Gravity--reflects the attitude of the band at the moment. After the same old material all these years, touring looks to be a major drag. He sounded bored when he got to the "Kill yourself now!" part. *insert major grin* Like kill yourself, then we can go home.
• Frozen-- Lots of distortion
  
• Prelude to Agony
  
• My GirlfriendUs Girlfriend--"This is a new song, 'cause we're tired of singing the same shit all the time." "...A song about a guy, a girl, and a girl...and one bed."
  
• Black No. 1-- said something along the lines of "dedicated to all the women in all their beautiful shapes--blondes, redheads...and then there are the women with the black hair..."
  
• Christian Woman--replaced dragon draino bellowing "Corpus Christi" with a longer drawn out singing simliar to the "Jesus Christ looks like me" segment.

Before they ended off Christian Woman Peter announced how honored (no shit, he was that formally polite--which was great to see instead of the "We rule" bull) he was to be performing before us in Austin and opening for Ozzy. And he said "Instead of applauding us, why don't you applaud yourselves instead, because Without you, we're nothing."

Highly cool. Good to see them! Can't wait to see them after there next album, but aren't we all??!! (Yes, I'm happy. Piss off.)
