ARGH! nevermind. - -- chad@ radix.net ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Oct 1998 06:24:43 GMT From: gemini@p3.net (Trace) Subject: Review: Bloominton & NKU (very long) Ok, this is my first ever review, and I'm hoping someone else can fill in the holes. Bloomington, Second Story. First off, they were NOT checking ID ( I know this totally sucks for the under 21 crowd who may've missed the show --- Sorry Sheryl!); I arrived with Josh and Joanna and none of us were carded, even though I look like I'm about 17. Second Story is a small, intimate club with a low stage that was oddly decorated with green and red christmas lights. The opening act was a local band called the Ballroom Roustabouts (I think) who played some interesting, twangy music. Very eclectic, but maybe I'm just too East Coast. They weren't set up on the stage, so when they finished it was a short wait for Fruvous. The Set: (Courtesy of Murray's "Certified Setlist") Down From Above Horseshoes Sahara (NOT the extended jam) Boss PTT Johnny Saucep'n Message Authors BJ Jockey Sad Girl Kids Boo Time Mistrah (wasn't played due to time constraints *boo, hiss*) King/Green Michy Car Psycho 1st encore: Dancing Queeen (yay!) 2nd encore: Drinking It was a fairly standard set, but well done. The crowd was quiet but very appreciative for the most part. There was one a**hole who felt the need to ruin the intro for the Kids Song by yelling out "The Kids!" before the guys could do their parts, but enough said about that. After the show, Jian chatted briefly with Josh, Joanna and I, and told us about how we were ALL getting the lyrics to I Will Hold On wrong (I posted this earlier tonight to set the record straight, sorry Jian). Anyhow, on to NKU! I'm just going to dive in with the *awesome* setlist and get it over with even though Jordan already posted it. Message: (absolutely beautiful as usual) BJ Video: (Ok, the recent Mondegreens thread concerning panned vs banned in Video made it onstage. Jian *clearly* enunciated the line as "...maybe something BANNED, maybe something formerly BANNED." I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. When I asked him about it later, he said again that it is "banned" in both places. I don't know why it says "panned" in the liner, maybe that "Jean guy" made a mistake in the liner ) PTT: (an hysterical false start as they broke up laughing at the beginning) Johnny Saucep'n: (fast as usual) Spidey: (off-mike with ALL of them running around in the audience. Mike gives a kid in the audience what I believe was a piece of candy *awww*) Pisco: (I just love this song!) I Will Hold On: (Gorgeous) Boo Time: Mistra: (Yay! The guys made up for the miss in Bloomington! It sounded great and I just LOVE Murray's solo) Kids Song: (Mike was HILARIOUS, hunched over with his hands on his legs. "Captain Kirk, I want you to look at my legs." The others joined in the fun as well) Raja: (after extremely funny banter about a certain dead president, "Groger" Cleveland, and the"Canadian Rock") Marion: (Wow! I've never heard this played before and I LOVED it! This show was really turning into something special) Nuits: (I was in an ecstatic state of shock. They followed Marion with Nuits! This song just gives me chills. I was surprised to hear it at a show with so many people in attendance who were not really familiar with Fruvous, but from what I saw, the audience seemed to really appreciate it. I know I did! Thank you Mike!) Authors: (a real crowd pleaser) Michy: (again, brought the house down) Fly: (This had to be the most beautiful version I've ever heard. The sound was great and the crowd was quiet. It took my breath away) Green Eggs and Ham - Full Version: (I didn't think the night could get any better, but then it did! I'd never seen the full version before, and this just made the night take on a dream-like quality for me. I also thought the change of pace/tone from Fly to GE&H worked well) Love Potion Medley: (After which the sit-down crowd gave them a standing ovation) Encore: Gulf War Song (Beautiful harmonies to end the show. The crowd loved it, and I'm STILL feeling a post show glow, more than 24 hours later. I can't wait 'til Noho) And so ends my first attempt at a review. I'd also like to say thanks to Chad for giving me his seat; not every guy would give up a first row seat in order to tape (and yes the show was taped! Woohoo!) - -- Trace gemini@p3.net "They're like Robin Williams singing, times 4." -Anonymous comment about Fruvous overheard in the 8th & Market subway station in Philadelphia following the 1998 Singer/Songwriter Festival. ~~I am Fruhead.

I'd like to chip in that the Canadian media and WEA lost that fervour. Then when the band stopped aggressively touring Canada, the general public who could have been swept into Fruheadedness never got the chance. The band is doing well in the US due to 5 years of almost non-stop agressive touring there. Had they done that in Canada coast-to-coast they would have had a much better fate. I have my own ideas as to why certain decisions were made, but I won't post them here.
