When Patty played the House of Blues in LA this summer, she sang without a guitar, in front of the band, and YES! I was transfixed. She was having such a wonderful time, how could I not have a great time watching her too?

Was anyone else from the list there? It was packed and altho I did scan the crowd for familiar faces, now that I have met a few New England fans, I still didn't recognize any of you. She did do "Little God" again and I love that song- I hope it makes her next album. I asked her that also, and she said she was doing lots of stuff, but didn't commit to anything specific about the next album. 45 min is just not enough- I would love to see her play for a couple of hours- every song would be enough maybe. I have never heard her do some of the songs on the Rarities Tape Tree tape and I would like to- " Clouds "and "Connie and Val", for example. I didn't think to tell her that. Anyway, we'll just have to wait until next time!

Sounds like kind of a cool thing to see Patty with the band playing acoustic. Did the bass player play a stand-up bass? As for Heather's question, Jules Shear used to be the boyfriend of Amy Mann (Everything's Different Now album's "J is for Jules" is about him.) and he was in a band in the 80's called Jules and the Polarbears or something like that. Have a good one, Heather ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Dec 1998 22:56:47 EST From: UMCaner74@aol.com Subject: MM: Re: mad-mission-digest V2 #380, Baltimore Show Heather, In response to Heather's question as to whether the Bass player used a stand up bass..No he didn't, he just used a regular acoustic bass..However..he DID make all the cool faces that he does on any other tour stop. He also got yelled at by someone in the audience for the bass being too loud on 2 different occasions. He was like ALRIGHT already! It was one of the more amusing parts of the show. There did seem to be a bit of a mixing problem with the different set up, but you could hear Patty LOUD AND CLEAR the whole show..so no complaints here! I can't really take my eyes off Patty, or my ears off her voice the whole show, so I don't usually notice anything else that's going on... However, since I have had the opportunity of seeing her 5 times now on the FR tour, I have just started to notice that the guys in the band are pretty cool themselves. The Bass player (I can never remember his name) is always solid. Bill the drummer just kicks ASS, and Doug is just a cool guitarist. He really has some cool effects, and is a great player. He doesn't ever overplay or take away from the song or play over Patty's Beautiful voice..Doug..if you are reading this..we all appreciate this very much! You Rock! (I'm a big fan of guitarists..Eddie Van Halen was always my hero, go figure..) The band as a whole does a wonderul job at playing these songs live. All the songs on the CD have many overdubs and obviously more instrumentation than just 4 people and the keyboard player could possibly perform live. They pull it off very well though! Ok..I started this to respond to one question..and I now have a little "review" type thing on the band..How does this stuff always happen to me?? :-) Take Care everyone!
