Regardless, Patty was nice enough to sign autographs and give us pictures if we wanted. Two fine young ladies opened for her at Border's, as she was running late. She did a VERY sultry performance of (what I hope was) a Nina Simone song. I would love to know the title, but I didn't catch it. Everything at Clutch Cargo's was off Flaming Red, save for 4 songs, and the only LWG song she did was Poor Man's House. Disappointing to say the least, as I miss her acoustic days, but the band and the concert in general was absolutely marvelous. Kudos to Patty for the hot pink/red wig. I enjoyed Iodine too, though I can't hear now. Talk to you later! :-) John ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Nov 1998 09:59:31 EST From: CornflkGl@aol.com Subject: MM: NPC: I got engaged :D Trust me, this is a good story :) On friday night, I went to a Moxy Fruvous show in Northampton. My boyfriend and I stood outside for about 3 hours, then got inside and got seats up in the balcony. When Moxy came out, they started telling a story about BJ (a lonely character in one of their stories) and his long-lost love, Rachel. The whole first act was them telling the story of BJ's quest to find Rachel, and they sang appropriate songs along the way. They ended with BJ up on the moon, happy with the Russian dog that was left there years ago. The second set started normally. About 4 songs into the set, they started talking about the fact that they didn't represent both sides of the story, and what happened to Rachel ? They asked if there were any Rachel's in the audience, then if there were any in the balcony. Another Rachel and I went on stage. They asked if we had boyfriends- I said yes, she said no, and she left the stage. They asked his name and where he was, then asked him up on stage. They then said, "Rachel, we knew you had a boyfriend named Tom, and you're both up here because he wants to ask you something." Tom then got down on his knees and put the ring on my finger as Moxy sang "Will you marry me?" in 4-part harmony. Dumbfounded, I said "yeah" into the microphone and gave Tom a hug and a kiss. The guys told us to stay on stage, and they sang "Fell In Love" for us, which is our song, and is also a really rare one they never play in public. Turns out Tom had been planning this since July :). He got it video taped, audio taped, had people taking pictures... kept all correspondence with the band and printed it out so I could see how it went... and my ring is GORGEOUS :). I wanted to share this with all of you :) Rachel :D ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 01 Nov 1998 13:32:46 -0500 (EST) From: GKRG@grove.iup.edu Subject: [none] Rachel, I tried to send this email privately, but it kept sending it back to me, don't ask me why. . .i just wanted to say congratulations to you and Tom!

Although I had a good time (I was there with a friend whom I recently turned on to Patty), I thought the sound and short length of the show was a bit disappointing. I couldn't tell whether the acoustics of the place were horrible or the fact the band was often drowning out her vocals (perhaps both), but needless to say it sounded sloppy. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Patty fan, and altogether have seen her about 6 times, and will catch her wherever and whenever I can. The Keswick show was great...I thought the sound was balanced very well. I've been patiently waiting to see her a couple of times this tour before giving my opinion. Frankly, based on alot of comments on this list I expected her to be totally drowned out and the show too loud. I don't mind a loud show as long as it's mixed well. Keswick was alot better than Clutch Cargo's. I'm glad she played her new song "Little God" and her "old" new song "Silver Bell" at both shows. Not that I'm getting tired of her recorded music, but it's always nice to hear something different (recall Springsteen's "Stolen Car" or Patsy Cline on previous tours?). "Little God" has an awesome feel to it, with a pulsing rhythm and, for lack of a better term, "eastern" influence towards the end (I could of sworn the first time I heard it that she must be a fan of the Canadian band, The Tea Party). Very powerful and a different style than I'm used to hearing from Patty. Patty, if you're reading this, please record this tune!!! I do miss her beautiful rendition of "Stolen Car" as well. The Keswick show was longer (at least it seemed to me), and I seem to recall that she played a bit more from LWG. I miss her solo stuff, but also enjoy the full band productions. Looking forward to whatever comes next..... - - Neil P.S. Patty, thanks for playing! - -----Original Message----- From: JohnRN24@aol.com To: mad-mission@smoe.org Date: Sunday, November 01, 1998 5:40 AM Subject: MM: Ann Arbor/Pontiac >Okay, the in-store was not bad, but packed from wall to wall.
