From behind, I initially mistook him for a woman. The second time he flipped out, he was restrained right near me, and seeing the frighteningly hysterical, almost teary-eyed look on his face, I tried to edge away in case he went berserk again. Fortunately the bouncers arrived in time. I'm really sorry Melissa had to be the victim of this nutcase. I have definitely witnessed drunken shenanigans at a Robyn show. Like when Eddie shouted "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" at the inebriated loud-mouths in Ferndale, or the drunk be-mulleted guy staggering about in front of the stage during the same show. One of my co-workers believes it is "festive" to throw cups of beer at a show. Somehow or other, I find that notion offensive. n. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2001 09:38:54 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Re: listen.com interview >RH:We were and are a really great band -- the missing link between the >Beatles and Oasis.

Due to my horrible map reading skills and general confusion and ignorance, we ended up driving in circles in the wasteland of the southern ontario highway system well past the small hours and into the medium small hours. He stayed very good natured, considering the circumstances (and it got a little tense at one point), and got me the whole way there in time to catch a few hours sleep and get to classes. ("and it's rare that a pig makes it back from the gig...") So if anybody doesn't know by now, Eddie Tews is a superlative individual. All hail to him. Great meeting you all too, Carrissa, Randi, and Randi's friend. It was an amazing show, and I've got a terrific crab-festooned t-shirt to remember it by.

(Here's a public apology to Mike -- sorry if you felt a bit left out > in the conversation. Aaron and I went to the University of Houston > together and hadn't seen each other in person for years.) No apology needed - I myself was extremely whacked from getting caught in the "cellphone-wielding madman who shut down the expressway" delay and ensuing reroute, which ended up making what should have been a liesurely 45min drive a three hour nightmare. I got there after Aaron but just b4 Dolph, exteremly PO'd but glad for having found free parking nearby. Among my first and last posted comments on the show, I would like to make sure the following is included: "YEEEHAAAWWWWWYEAYEAYEAYAHOOM***FUCKERSWHEEEEEEHOOOOODOGGIE" Or something like that. It rocked in a most excellent way. I shared the central balcony area with the other geriatrics, secure in the knowledge that - aside from backstage - it is the best place in Metro to see + hear the show. The floor's a lot less sticky, the crowd less pushy, and the sound balance is usually extremely good (for that type of room). And even though I was only drinking water, this night had the added advantage that the upstairs cantina had a bartendress with the largest, um, obviously natural THINGIES I think I have ever seen. Ever. There have been several excellent recaps of the show which need no additional updates, but some personal notes as follows: The sound really got dialed in by "Reptile" (song 3). "Sideways" was flat and "QOE" sounded unbalanced. But from "Reptile" on it was mostly dead-nuts, though did anyone else note Robyn's guitar drop out a couple of times during the show? Common for a wireless, but it looked like he was plugged in all night. Thought the song order was smokin' - heard just about everything I came to hear in that first hour. From the way Robyn intro'd the show after his remark about it being their 21st birthday party - "Chicago - Metro - Friday night" - it almost sounded like a recording tag. If so, I hope to God they put this one out. "KOL" and "Rhymney" were especially perfect; very glad for the latter as I had dropped an email request from the UM website about a week b4 the show that they play it in Chicago, and didn't know if it would make the set list. It was a transcendent moment seeing 40-something wives, dressed in that "somewhat made-up but not too much look, plus blue jeans", with husbands obviously dragged along to a show they knew nothing about, happily bopping away to "Old Pervert." There was something really weird, strangely beautiful about it. That and the look Robyn had in his eyes when he removed his glasses, kissed the mic and opened his arms to the crowd after introducing the song - you could see the twinkle in his eyes from the balcony. Also it seemed to be one of the better-behaved crowds I'd seen at the Metro in a while. There was the occasional hyper-intoxicated individual wandering through and trying to crowd for a view, but even these were mostly quiet and striving to stay upright. Heard very little distracted talking and saw no bad behavior up by us (it has to be a record); once the show started really chugging it was all business. Thx to those fegs I did meet and chat with, it was a great show. Here's to next time! After nearly a week back in 'burbs with the wife and kids, there's still a little buzz coming off that ticket stub in my wallet...

The (not at all coincidentally) last punk show I went to was the Dictators. New Year's Eve, New York City, sometime in the '80s I suppose. Much throwing of raw meat - whee! As my friend and I were leaving, a rather huge gentleman picked each of us up under one arm and deposited us behind a merchandise table that had been turned on its side. A few seconds later, we realized he'd been protecting us from the huge, violent brawl that had spilled out into the lobby after a security guard assaulted a woman in the audience (details came from a Village Voice article after the fact). We cowered back there until the police came, and were among the few to leave completely unscathed.
