He just played a free noontime show at the U of S, and I just feel compelled to write about it, I've never been this moved by anything I've seen live before. He was kind of squished into a corner by a triangular staircase thing, and so the forty or fifty people watching him were spread out in a v-shape around the staircase. He played just about everything from 'In September' and 'Gouge Away' from the single, and every single song was an epic classic, he screamed and shouted the fast one and whispered the slow ones, missing notes and forgetting lyrics because he was so tired, which of course just added to the feeling of intimacy. There was about 200 med. students who were talking quite a bit around our little group at the start of the show, but by the time he was done they had all left for class, so there was this awed silence in the dead quiet lounge when he finally left. I've never felt anything like it, it was like waking up from a dream when he stopped playing. Wow.
