Yes. Yes. God, yes. hm, that ended up sounding like a shampoo commercial, didn't it? What I meant to say is - She's marvelous, and by all means, go see her.

(very long) So, my day began around 1:30 this afternoon, when I left Pittsburgh headed for Baltimore, making allowances for traffic and such. So, naturally, I got to Baltimore in just over 4 hours, arriving in downtown a little before 6. Ok, so people were going to meet at 7 for dinner, and I wanted to find them. After an hour of wandering around the Light Street Pavillion, I finally heard someone shout "Moxy" (or thought I heard someone shout "Moxy") and ended up meeting a bunch of very nice Fruheads all of whose names I have unforunately forgotten. :( so after an uneventful dinner (and my eating the requisite crab cake since I was in Baltimore) we learned that the Vault was considerably farther from Inner Harbor than we expected, and probably wouldn't be the most pleasant walk back to our cars afterwards. So we all drove (paid for parking twice) up to the Vault, which apparently opened its doors at 8, even though my ticket said 9. oh well. I found a spot near the front, stage Mike/Dave, and kept gradually inching my way forward. It seemed very crowded at the beginning, but once the show started, there was an unbelievable amount of space. The house music was way too loud at the beginning, so any hope of conversation was pretty much crushed. Either that or everyone will have a sore throat tomorrow. The opening act came out around 9:15, and entertained us for about 45 minutes. And when I say entertained... I mean, this guy was one of the finest opening acts I've seen. He could sing, he could play his guitar, and his lyrics were clever and quite funny, *and* he had a great stage presence. I don't remember everything he said or did, but we were all highly amused at his set, and he got quite a loud round of applause at the end of his set. (although that might have been the applause for the expectation of Fruvous) about 20 minutes later (that's right, only 20 minutes!), Fruvous came out to much cheering and applauding, which, of course, they encouraged. After about a minute of that, and no talking at all, except maybe a "Thank you" or two, they started Splatter Splatter, with the new arrangement that theoretically should have allowed me to figure out the chords by watching Dave, but I had no luck in that department. Still very little talking and the usual drum intro to Darlington Darling. "On the accordion tonight, Baltimore sports legend Cal Ripken Jr..." Then we got Independence Day and If Only You Knew. It's really too bad August 10 is 47 days away... I want it to be now. A short improv about a Broadway musical entitled "David Matheson, Exhibitionist" followed by You Will Go to the Moon, with a couple of audience interruptions at the beginning, causing Murray to insist that only those in the audience with perfect pitch sing along. No intro to the Kids' Song, but, as always, amusing. Did I mention that the guys seemed majorly "on" and "into it" tonight? Imagine the most "into it" you've seen them at a regular show and double it. Really. Same for the audience. And then perhaps the most amusing moment of the evening... Jian picked up the guitar, so naturally we expected either When She Talks or Sad Girl (but secretly hoped for Misplaced) and they started playing When She Talks, but there were some distracting sounds of bottles being thrown away coming from the bar, so after a few bars, Jian stopped singing, while the rest of the band played. He walked off the stage towards the bar, still carrying the guitar, to ask them to be quiet... or something. And somehow he got the idea to perform the song from the bar. After Murray told him he couldn't hand the mic over because he was drumming, Mike grabbed it, and the stand, and they were set up just off the stage. (ah, the joys of wireless technology) He continued the song from there, and during the instrumental, passed the mic stand through the audience back to the stage, and, since there were no stairs on that side of the stage, walked through the audience with the guitar to get back. At the end of the song, he was greeted with a chorus of "Way to go, Jian!" Next we got Horseshoes, Live Noise style, with the audience starting the last refrain (a little off key, I might add) and Too Careful, with very little intro. Laika followed, with everyone again very much "into it." Then the non-usual King of Spain intro, where they talk about the intro they normally do, but the people who have already seen them before have already seen that, so they're not going to do it. So they do King of Spain, with most of the audience shouting "Don't mention Lisa," much to the surprise of the band, and some of us in the audience, too... An improv of "I Fought the Law" using the banjo, then The Present Tense Tureen and Johnny Saucep'n, which left me out of breath. (well, that and the intense smoke in the room) Two more songs from Thornhill, I Will Hold On and My Poor Generation, came next, and the main set ended with an almost seamless transition from River Valley to Get in the Car to Psycho Killer, although the intro to Psycho Killer was again interrupted by random noise and chatter, and everything quieted down for the first verse except the bass. First encore was Michigan Militia, which seemed a little slower than usual, but was still great, and had everyone "singing" along. The second encore began with Authors, with pretty much every line that sometimes might be changed being changed ("I was looking straight," "My crucifixion," and "who needs a grave?") and the ending guitar part done missing one of the crucial strings.... And finally, they left us with the Drinking Song, a great sing-a-long (and we were on key this time, although I need to pick a part and stick with it :) I'd post more to this, but I can't think of what to say, and my brother is bugging me to get off the computer (it's frickin' 3:30 in the morning!) I'll see everyone (or some subset thereof) in Fort Erie next week (well, 9 days, but still) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 14:20:24 -0700 (PDT) From: Bridget Subject: [none] subscribe === over 'n' out xoxoxo bridget "Dave Matheson's banjo, Mike Ford's artwork... and Murray's a great guy!!" ~Jian, 6/16/99 _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
