I just have to add that I had an absolutely fantastic time in Seattle last night. I left work in Cupertino at around 1:00PM, drove to SFO, jumped the United Shuttle to SEA and hit the Best Western "Executel" at around 6:30. Jeme, Viv, and Carole showed up roughly 45 minutes later and hauled ass to the Croc. There we met up with Eddie, Cynthia, Simone, and Cynthia's friends Tamara and Michael (right?). After food and beers somebody walks in and yells "Eddie Tewes!" - it was John Partridge fer chrissakes! Then he disappeared. We all squeezed together right in front of the stage and fucking ROCKED OUT until 2:00 AM. The Rock Armada(tm) was unstoppable as Robyn was dripping sweat and weaving guitar parts that only he can. Kimberly - who doesn't seem to sweat at all - munched, crunched, and generally kicked ass all night. Imagine if you will the entire band in full gear ripping through the following songs one after the other: Madonna Of The Wasps Queen Of Eyes America Antwoman - To end this, Robyn and Kim traded licks for what seemed like a glorious eternity... Sleeping With Your Devil Mask Oceanside That was the end of the main set. Then Robyn and Kim came out on dueling electrics: I Often Dream Of Trains Insanely Jealous Kingdom Of Love Eddie posted the rest of the set, but this sequence was absolutely killer. >On 11/17/99 2:25 PM, Carole Reichstein wrote: > >*Other Fegs in attendance: Cynthia, the Deboras, Simone, and some other >guy who Eddie and Tom knew.

Aaron: >Will zipping over to the Troubadour afford you the opportunity to catch >some of the show? Well, it's quite possible. See, weekend shows at the Palace frequently end early, because the Palace likes to have these hideous top-40 dances on the weekends. They end the live music early, kick everybody out, sweep up and then admit all the Ordinary F*cking People to boogie all night long. It's a creepy demographic transition -- I've observed it several times before. My Stereolab ticket lists *7 pm* as the starting time. Early! If there's no third band besides Stereolab and OTC (*wow*, what a double bill)...well, you do the math. Last night at the Troubadour, Beulah and Luna went onstage about 9:15 pm and 10:15 pm. So ideally, my upcoming night could go something like: Olivia Tremor Control at 7. Stereolab at 8:15. Show over at 9:45. Drive across town to the Troubadour, get there at 10:05. Robyn goes on at 10:15. Voila. Of course, there are a ton of variables and intangibles which have to fall into place for the above to work out. Especially, that the Robyn show doesn't sell out. If this was a guest-list situation, I'd just call Elektra and beg them to switch me to the Troubadour list. But unfortunately, this was a rare case of the label mailing out hard tickets prior to the show. So, my ticket is already glaring at me from an envelope on my bulletin board. Not switchable. >You really shouldn't miss this show, you know. The fact >that some of us are coming from across the country for one more opportunity >to see Robyn, Tim, Kimberley, usw., should sway you, no? Well, not really...I don't relate well to such fanaticism. Except in certain cases (including Stereolab), I'm generally content to see an artist live about once per two album releases. I'm not sure when I last saw Robyn, but even so, his stage presence seems atypically "fresh" in my mind right now. My biggest motivations for seeing the show would be the novelties of seeing Kimberley Rew (heck, I can't even picture this guy's face, at *any* age) and visiting Fgz. Seeing Robyn ranks third. - ---- Capuchin: >Eb, I'm telling you this as a friend. (Has that ever been said on this >list?) No, I don't think so.

Also, some really great >renditions of later Egyptians as well as a couple of Eye tracks at >least. Um...here's a dumb question: Is it *purely* Robyn and Kimberley? No bassist or drummer? And yes, I've already said that seeing the Robynrew combo is enticing. On the other hand, I'm very eager to see how Stereolab pulls off their exceedingly complex new songs onstage. >Stereolab is at the Troubadour the next night, right? Here's what you >do: Go to the Stereolab show early. Ditch your ticket for the price of a >ticket to the Sunday night show. Hmmm. But what if the Sunday show is sold out? It's quite possible. And it's not that easy to sell a ticket for full price in front of a club, unless the show's a sell-out. It's easy to get five bucks from some greedy, profit-seeking scalper, but...ugh. >Meet us at the pre-gig gathering. I didn't hear there was one...where's that? >You buy both a Robyn and Stereolab ticket at the Troubadour's box office. That's not a bad plan at all...in fact, I could probably make a tiny profit, because I suspect Stereolab's Palace show will have a higher admission price than the Troubadour gig. But...there's the variables. Whether either show is sold out. Whether I can sell a ticket. Lotsa variables. And I'm also not sure that I could buy a Stereolab ticket at the Troubadour, the night before. I'm not sure the club operates that way. Hrm. Note: No one has told me which of you is going to be there yet. And does anybody really give a rat's ass about meeting me, or are you just urging me to see the show "for my own good"? If the latter is the case, you may need to play the Social Guilt card a bit stronger. ;) Meanwhile, Bryan Ferry is performing tonight (the same venue where Brian Wilson was) and Matthew Sweet is playing tomorrow night, and I guess I'm not seeing those shows either. Blah. And lotsa work to do right now.... I just finished hearing the 300th album of 1999 which I didn't like. Oof.

I had the fortune of standing just 3 rows behind Feg-Central (front row) and did witness this rather wild display, though I was more entranced by "Dance of Capuchin", consisting of wagging head & torso/adjusting eyeglasses/itching scalp in alternate phrasing. There was also an extremely large, ugly, and intoxicated man who pushed his way up to Feg-Central right behind Eddie, and I feared the worst. Luckily, our road weary man of steel seemed not to notice. I had 2 "WOO HOOO" girls screaming right in my ears most of the night, and I believe most of you know the call of this species. They did provide the quote of the night, right after Robyn introduced Kimberly Rew; "oh my gawd!!!" "who's that?" "You know, from Kimberly & the Waves" and then of course, in stereo "WOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOO"!!!! The show itself was fantastic, and for this lurker who prefers the wail of a 100 watt Marshall above all other forms of expression found this evening most satisfying. Kimberly bore a striking resemblance to Dana Carvey's "Church Lady", and his guitar work is surely a lot of fun to watch. The general excitement level on stage was very high, and all were obviously having a great time. After getting into the car and leaving for home I drove by the Crocodile and spotted Eddie, so I shouted a farewell. For any of those who have in any manner doubted his sincerity in his political views, I witnessed our Godless Commie walk across the street *AGAINST THE LIGHT*, while others waited obediently for my vehicle to pass. It was a great show, and it was great seeing some familiar faces again.

That is a big "if," you're right. I have a suggestion. The total price of my ticket to the Troubadour show wasn't more than $15, even including the exorbitant Ticketmaster "convenience fee." I'll put five measly bucks in for a ticket, if Jeme and Viv'll also chip in the same, and we'll get a ticket held for you at the box office. If a couple more people would like to offer to chip in as well, the more the merrier -- it's going to be cheap, regardless. If you make it for any of the show at all, you'll enjoy both the "fuck-ass rock'n'roll" that is this tour, and the Fegdom accompanying it. Nobody can really lose. If you aren't able to make it, we're each out a couple of bucks, which I know I won't even miss or notice, considering how much I'm spending just to be able to be there. I'm willing to make the gamble. Just say the word. Myself: > >You really shouldn't miss this show, you know.

Kimberley is a big, big part of why I decided to go waaaay out of my way to catch these last two shows. I just sat there at the shows in Austin, complete mesmerized by his playing. I remember saying to Eddie that this was probably the closest I would ever get to seeing a Soft Boys gig. It's not just seeing/hearing Kimberley play that's so great, it's also seeing/hearing him interact with Robyn onstage. That duelling/spiralling/interwoven/cascading dual lead guitar thing that they do is breathtaking. >Um...here's a dumb question: Is it *purely* Robyn and Kimberley? No bassist >or drummer? There are songs that just Robyn and Kimberley do together (IODOT, Kingdom of Love), and songs they do altogether with the guys from Tim Keegan's band. The drummer, Lindsay, is really quite good, as well as a lot of fun to watch. The bassist, Jake, is competent, if unexciting. And Tim Keegan remains onstage for all of the full-band stuff, as well. That is another reason seeing RH+co. again on this tour really appeals to me. It was the first time for me to see Robyn with a real band. I know it's not the same as seeing an Egyptians show, but for me, it was really neat to see him play a lot of things he couldn't do before (or do nearly as well) all by himself. I didn't hear there was one...where's that? >Note: No one has told me which of you is going to be there yet. And does >anybody really give a rat's ass about meeting me, or are you just urging me >to see the show "for my own good"?

If it's at all feasible for you to be there, if even just for a pre-show get-together (I haven't heard anything about that yet either), I, for one, would like to see you come. If it's not possible, don't sweat it for a second, and rest assured that none of us will be offended.

Anyway, I think *time* is a bigger issue than money, here. Can you folks keep Robyn captive backstage, until I get there? Perhaps Viv could temporarily hypnotize him with her legendary, Shawn-tested bosom? ;) >I can completely understand and respect that. The main difference between >your viewpoint and mine, in this case, is that Robyn is one of those >"certain cases" that Stereolab is for you. Well, I do like seeing Stereolab every tour if I can, yes, but I sure wouldn't consider following their tour around the country. Nor would I do that for *any* artist...not even for, say, Tom Waits or Elvis Costello. I just really fail to see the thrill of hearing the same songs performed time after time, during a restricted period. I don't understand this craving at all. >>I just finished hearing the 300th album of 1999 which I didn't like. Oof. > >OK, I'll bite. ???? No point in sharing the artist's name, really. No one whom the public will ever hear about. Future cut-out bin fodder. Speaking of concerts, I read something interesting about the recent Guided By Voices date here (on the 12th). Apparently about 90 minutes into the show, some guy dived off the stage, landed smack on the floor and had to be taken away by an ambulance. As a result, the show had to be ended prematurely. Huh! Final, totally off-topic question: Has anyone here ever played out a romantic scene in a room crowded full of lit candles? I am *so* sick of seeing this cliche on television...is this purely a creation of the media, or do some people actually *do* this? Oh, and it looks like I may be seeing Matthew Sweet tonight, after all. A writer friend invited me to use his extra ticket.
