i also hit the metropolis last night, in anticipation of a grand event. it was cool to get to meet joel for the first time, because i had never talked to him before, and i just happened to run into him as he parked the mighty tour school bus out back before the show. thrush hermit really did a great job, and i was going to record it, but they had already started by the time i got in there. so that sucked. guided by voices were great, and ed and i were annoying to all of the audience members. for all of you that were there, ed was the guy that threw the t-shirt up on stage and we heckled and yelled the whole show. mitch mitchell was a sight to behold as he rocked in his own little (completely drunken) world and spat beer back and forth with craig (temp. drummer from the method). bob was great, and in fine form with mic swings and cheezy leg kicks. and jim and tobin were sedated as usual. i taped the gbv aspect of the show, but it sounds awful because my recorder was actually on the stage, and little vocals can be heard. the t-shirt thing was also a problem, but i ran into manager-for-life, pete jamison out back, who sold happily for $10, two t-shirts to me and ed (that's $5 each folks, that guy is a charm). i had a chance to talk to bob after for a bit too, and i got somewhat of a funny audio clip that i'm going to use on the tribute. well, enough babbling. later, jon (glad to be home after his 11 hour bus ride)
