Not strictly an improv. A song Mike supposedly came up with while walking to get his hair cut at the bus station on Sunday morning in Philadelphia. Cute rhymes with surprising insight into some of the sights of Philly...the Edgar Allen Poe house reference was particularly impressive. > > >Missing Her > > A new one? A cover? An improv? Give us details here, peoples! What > did you think of it? What was it like? > It was like "Half as Much." ;-) Mike just intoduced in a roundabout way and never said its name. And while I've only heard this one a couple times, it's getting better and I'm starting to love it. Harmonies are perfect. Great show all around. The number of people there for the guys was unreal! Jian totally screwing up GE&H was absolutely HYSTERICAL! And the Dylan tune..."I shall be released" is a gorgeous ending...but I have to admit being happy to have it *AND* the Drinking Song last night. It was a Drinking Song kind of night with so many frufriends around. mary cricket5@hotmail.com - -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Aug 1998 16:34:41 GMT From: ceelove@ibm.net (Colleen Campbell) Subject: oh, and who're Semi-sonic? A long rant/improv/diss during one of the shows I saw, Friday's or Saturday's (don't remember which). Who are Semi-sonic? Jian seemed especially bent on spoofing them. I gather they've got a single out that's getting a lot of radio play, but as I don't generally listen to the radio (though Boston certainly has better stations than Ft. Lauderdale did!), I wouldn't know. ceecee ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Aug 1998 16:48:08 GMT From: dacilen@bu.edu (Vika Zafrin) Subject: Re: "Well, bless Canada for bringing us these boys" On Mon, 03 Aug 1998 09:22:43 -0500, Marty Blase wrote: >Is anyone archiving all these reviews on the website, by the way?

She was doing a kind thing, and the kid was > cured. Happy endings all around. :-) No, it's not really a happy ending. Last I checked, there were still several hundred thousand postcards coming in for Craig Shergold *every day*. The UK postal service had hired several full time staff just to deal with Craig Shergold cards (which are, of course, not being delivered - perhaps the source of this receptionists heartbreak). The Guiness Book of World Records has removed the category of most postcards received, to discourage anyone from doing this again. Craig Shergold himself fervently wishes he hadn't made that wish, and that people would stop sending him postcards. The moral of the story: Always check the source of your information before forwarding it to the net. Keep it in mind. (Vika did the right thing by telling us where she got it from, but someone at BU might want to track the source of that memo and talk to the people who sent it...) -- Cos (Ofer Inbar) -- cos@leftbank.com cos@cs.brandeis.edu -- The Left Bank Operation -- lbo@leftbank.com http://www.leftbank.com/ "We all misuse the net for personal gain, one way or another." -- Larry Wall ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Aug 1998 19:13:31 GMT From: "Demetriou, Melanie" Subject: FW: Vic Hadfield Peter, the sports nut, was apparently embarassed by his (momentary) confusion at SoNo, and did some research about Vic Hadfield.

Oh, wait a second, I was there, but CeeCee's review filled me in on some stuff that I didn't quite catch. : ) We started off at the side of the stage, but it was too loud there for my kids, and since we couldn't see from further out in front of the stage, we ended up behind the stage, on the balcony! Actually, it was a much better view than it sounds like. ; ) The delay in the start of the show did my daughter in a bit, She was so excited through the whole soundcheck, that she ran out of steam towards the end of the set and we had to leave to get some food about half way through Love Potion #9. The show was a lot of fun. It was interesting to watch from behind because you could really see the method to the madness that makes the shows so great. We could see how Jian would chat away while the other guys changed instruments, and mics, and how the others signaled to Jian that they were ready and how the segueys (sp.) took place. So while we lost something in not seeing their faces, it was still a cool spot. Anyway, as far as the show went, I think CeeCee covered it. Lots of energy, great improvs, and generally lots of fun. Minnie was the highlight for me, my daughter loved seeing Jockey, her current favorite Fruvous song, and my wife loved Balcony man, which was one of my favorite improvs that I've seen yet. The night reinforced one of the reasons I love seeing these guys so much. CeeCee mentioned Jian watching himself because he was aware that we were there. I don't know that it had to do with us presonally, there were other kids too, but the guys were aware of us. When they saw my daughter during the show, they all clearly remembered her from May and waved and made faces at her. Mike saw us when he was on the balcony and waved and made faces while he snuck around before Spidy, and Dave and my daughter were practicly having a whole conversation through hand signals while he was hiding before King of Spain. He signaled that they would be at the record store after the show and we should stop by. We had planned to say hi after eating dinner, but about half way through dinner I saw CeeCee (sorry we missed you) leaving from across the way, and got nervous that they were done and about to leave. So we rushed over only to find a huge line of people still waiting to see them. So instead of waiting and talking to them, I figured we would just wave from the side and head back to dinner. Well, when they saw her, they all stopped and said how great it was to see her and really just made her feel very special. Jian even remembered her name, almost correctly, which is impressive considering all the people they meet. So, this isn't really a review, but I just wanted to share in my good feelings from seeing the guys again. BTW, my daughter just turned three and my son six months, and this was her fourth Fruvous show and his second. So, that's pretty good I think. I think we need a Junior-Frumiles card for little kids, where it is the number of concerts you see, of any type, by the time you turn five. I think my kids would be well on their way to gathering some good loot by now. : ). - - Harry p.s. was the person who got the soundboard recordign on this list? We heard Cal talkingabout it before the show. If so, I'd love to hear from you and maybe get a copy. thanks. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
