Actually last night, Henry Rollins. Ho. Lee. Shit. The man is a fucking machine. Almost two and a half hours of loud and vigorous narrative without a single pause and not a single sip of water the entire time. You could see the sweat flinging from his body. I have no idea how he is physically able to do that. It was awesome.

Nice..I met Rollins at the recent Bowery Dinosaur Jr run and several other times. He is actually a really nice guy. Saw the standup once too was impressed!

Been trying too but the shows sell out quick.

Hear you about them selling out, this was not an easily bought pair. They are well worth the effort. With a live sound of RB tinged at times with New Orleans and also Soulful. They deliver live! It was my second time seeing them they were better than the first. Perhaps because they have two albums behind them now.

This was the last US date on this leg. They are playing Paris on Wens.

They came out loose and ready. Quite a varied setlist full of familiar, mixed with 3 new songs.

In the Encore ..

Instead of Shape I'm In, we got a tremendous version of Ophelia.

A Great Night Out.

Yeah, they're from Denver even and I have had trouble getting tix to shows. They went from playing clubs to selling out Red Rocks within a year of the release of that first album.

Just got an email that they're doing the Ogden Theater annual holiday show again this year (tried to get tix last year with no luck). At least they added a 2nd night.

I am digging their new record.

I haven't heard it, but the new songs sounded good at the show.  I've never really followed this band, but I was surprised that I knew so many of the songs.  They put on a fun show.

Elvis Costello and the Imposters

dang - i was all set for Pittsburgh, but E cancelled last week in support of striking symphony musicians....

 

I believe tonight is the solo show- brilliant but not quite the rock n roll imposters show.

 

 

EDIT: oops - never mind- enjoy the full band!!!!!
