Some added stuff to Edwina's review: (Rustic Overtones) <<They're last song needed the assistance of a megaphone. That was a first for me. I thought that was kinda cool.>> Don't get excited...*nothing* like Drive Like Jehu's Hand Over Fist... <<They did a variety of material.>> I have to disagree with this. A majority of the stuff seemed...well, I have to disagree. Most of the stuff they played was not as...erm, energetic (?) as their shows usually are. I couldn't really get into it because most of the songs were mixed versions that were, not really slower versions, but drawn out ones that had bursts of energy holding it together? I remember thinking if this is what it's come to for most songs on Freak to have to be reworked to that extent to be "playable". Oh, I know, you think I'm bashing them, ja? I'm not. I guess I'm in some kind of stunned disbelief of the whole night. Maybe my perception may have been a wee bit better w/o the technical difficulties. I'm with Kris on his view of Freak, therefore I would have preferred a few more older songs...not everyone can be Bartelby, eh? But, there's a time limit for everyone before the main attraction and I *am* looking forward to Mercury Lounge. indra ============================================== Please send all administrative requests (unsubscribing, change of address, etc) to the list owner at [EMAIL PROTECTED] ==============================================
