TM provides the service of not having to go to the box office to buy your tickets. That's how they make money. If they weren't around, you'd have to come to Toronto to buy your tickets - a lot more expensive than the service charge for a lot of people! If Lee's Palace provided the service, you can bet the tickets would be more expensive, and it would be less convenient. There are a lot of ticket companies out there, and even though it might seem like they have a monopoly, that's far from the truth.

What hotel are you staying at? Is it on the Sunset strip or off of it? Sunset Boulevard is pretty well lit, and there is always a LOT of traffic, so if there are four people walking to say, the Hyatt, it should be pretty safe. However, if it's off the strip, I would recommend driving if it's further away than a couple of blocks. There's parking at the club, and driving is just safer than walking in West Hollywood late at night. Besides..."Nobody walks in LA!" ;-) > > I'll be there!

We weren't at all disappointed in this condition. The guys came out and started playing straight away. Dave had the accordion and Mur wore a deliciously dreadful brown polyester shirt with diamond-shaped medallions. It was 11:30 and Fruvous was ready to tear the roof off the place and bring the walls down around us. Bang: Darlington. Tight and fast, but a brilliant tight and fast. "Guest starring on the accordion, New York's Fascist Mayor Rudy Giuliani!" Darlington went straight into BJ, also a good version. Then Jian started telling about his New Year's fantasy, of having a loved one to kiss at midnight. "How many of you can identify with that?" Some cheering from the audience and he continued, "great, all the losers." But he said it with a smile. Then they recruited a couple from the audience to share their love at midnight. Pat and Kelly volunteered; for the record, they are a het couple, though I never figured who was Pat and who was Kelly. We would all be able to live vicariously through them. They stayed on stage for about 20 minutes, through IWHO and Horseshoes, alternately clapping a a little and smooching. Mur told them not to sing along, half serious and half jesting.They were remarkably good sports about the whole thing. Mike did an improv about saving their love for midnight. IWHO was warm and touching, though Jian introduced it by saying that a lot of people thought t was a "nice song." It's that, he said, but it's also about obsession. Eh, I've been there, too. I think we all have. Heard the song in a whole new light because of that comment, and loved it more. Horseshoes. Well, I love Horseshoes with the piano; I've started to think of this as the quintessential Fruvous song, even more than chestnuts like the King of Spain. It's the individual verses and the harmonies on the chorus, plus the arrangement. Then the countdown, and among the noise-making and confetti throwing there was Auld Lang Syne, completely unrehearsed. Nobody really knows the words, and it seemed that Mur and Dave were singing different verses at one point. It beat Guy Lombardo all to hell, though. Pat and Kelly smooched away on stage and the room was filled with hugs and kisses of friends and strangers. "Now, for the first time in 1999; The King Of Spain!" Standard version, except for "I'm not wearing underwear." Seemed rote. Mur said "Once the King of Spain, always the King of Spain." at the very beginning. GE&H followed; I love that one for the hard-driving bass line. The thing I remember from the Not The Beatles break was Mur saying that Mr. Cheese had broken his two word New Year's Resolution: Be Nicer. After it was over, the crowd got a tad restless, but Jian insisted they'd keep playing for a while: Michigan, with a funky Walk This Way intro, Mur playing the melody on the bass, Mike singing. Then Organ Grinder, which always brings a smile to my face. "We're just going to jam for a while." They broke into Substitute, Walking Spanish, and a rocking Psycho; then encored with Authors, with all the quirky lines including "I was looking straight" and "My crucifixion." They were set to go into Saucep'n but the tin whistle didn't work, so Mike did Folsom Prison Blues at Jian's insistence. Finally, Saucep'n and they closed with the Drinking Song. Swaying, swaying, nobody wanted to go home, but the lack of a plan sent us our separate ways into the night.

How interesing. Well, maybe the media treated them badly, but they together with Dan Bern played 6 standing room only shows in 3 days. That's really incredible and probably helped them out a lot. I heard a lot of people who wanted to see Dan who came away enjoying Fruvous as well. I haven't caught up on the Dan Bern mailing list yet, so I don't know how they felt, but as a Dan Bern and Moxy Fruvous fan, I think they both came away looking great. > Maybe they should stop playing NY on NYE. Yeah, packing a club 6 times in 3 days can't be good for them at all, can it? Just because the media doesn't give someone a fair shakedown before writing something in NYC that doesn't mean people in the city don't love a good concert. It means the media should get off its butt and research a bit before writing something. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 06 Jan 1999 12:57:18 -0500 From: Chad Maloney Subject: Re: Amazing feats of Musical Talent Anthony B wrote: > I was at "the bottom line" in NYC on New Years Day.

It was amazing how much better they got after doing it a couple times too. Yellow Star had to be my favorite of the tunes they did together over the shows (Jerusalem, Thansgiving Day Parade, Marilyn, Yellow Star, and Monuments were all played together at one time or another - along with Do You Hear What I Hear of course ;P) but they added a lot to Monuments as well. Seeing they work together and create music on the fly that was more complex than the normal Fruvous Jam was great! The end of the first Monuments when they were starting to drop out and make it actually have a cool ending was neat.

For the first time in a long while, I come away from shows with songs stuck in my head. That's not to say I didn't enjoy myself or love the shows before, but now I end up shows with Half As Much or You Can Be Too Careful in my head and it stays there for awhile. That's pretty cool. I just wanna see what they do with these tunes in the studio. Think of Downsizing except Dave can agonize over the guitar sound and make it just right. He can play with different slides and effects instead of just doing whatever happens at a show. Woo hoo!
