Yes, I'm both hoping and trying to prepare for overload. :cheers

What are you doing after the show?? There is more cool stuff happening in town than just this.

 

Just from the Reader The List dig it...

 

Akron/Family Empty Bottle

Cold War Kids -Subterranean (but sold out)

Dolly Varden - Martyrs (where I am going after)

Alejandro Escovedo - Old Town School (sold out too)

Margot and the Nuclear so and sos - Beat Kitchen all ages show and I know some of the Brion goers are going to this.

Paybacks -Double Door I heard they were good, no real idea.

Scissor sisters - Rivera (sold out too), but I bet someone here likes them.

Smoking Popes - in the burbs but worth the trip, but too early....

 

Thats without even looking inside the REader

Wow, was that show fun or WHAT?!!

 

I think the highlights for me were Don't Think Twice sung to the tune of Lithium; Back in Black played on the piano in the manner of Fats Waller; Elliot Smith's Happiness (unbelievably beautiful), You Don't Know What Love is done in the manner of the White Album (really), and a Prince medly with Pop Life, Controversy (yes!), Red Corvette, and Kiss.

 

But what was really fun was having so many friends there -- I think we just pretty much bought our the center front section.

 

Sunday can't come soon enough.

just two random fans. one played drums and the other played bass.
That was so cool...even cooler than the guys playing the odd notes on the keyboards Friday night. These guys were clearly musicians and did a great job off the cuff.

I haven't recovered from being blown away.

 

I wouldn't have thought it'd be possible to surpass Friday's show by that much (because Friday's show was brilliant), but it was indeed surpassed. By a mile or so.

 

Lots of covers, lots of virtuosity, lots of really beautiful music, and great big shouty sing-alongs by the bucketful. Pretty much my dream come true.

 

I heard Albatross at a recent Largo show and was reminded of how great Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac is. Need Your Love So Bad is going to send me back to go listen to some. It's been too long.

as great as Friday's show was, Sunday's show took it by the neck, and tossed it off the top of the Hancock.
