I even have the Kennedys' setlist of that show! Only, I remembered this important date, a day late, this year! :-) I was really impressed with TK the first time I saw them. I thought that they had better songs than TN and that they really rocked! But strangely enough, this first impression didn't lead where I'd expected. Firstly, because TK are not a 5-piece rock band (as they were that night, and as TN were in those days) -- meaning, my first impression of P&M was of a configuration that is actually quite rare for them. Secondly, because I hoped to see much more of TK after that, but didn't actually get around to pursuing that goal until 4/01, 5 years later -- when Katryna left the music world for 4 months on her first maternity leave, and I found myself looking around for a new direction! :-) I always feel that TK came to my emotional rescue, just when I needed it most. :-) Bruce Check out the Kennedys' Official Home Page: http://www.KennedysMusic.com/ Fab photos, the Official tour diary, dashboard Buddha haiku, groovy merchandise...what more could you ask for? ------------------------------ End of jangle-poets-digest V9 #50 *********************************
