I don't post here often but i had to say something about this show.
um.
It was REALLY good!!! it was my sixth fruvous concert. and i think it was my favorite. they were totally on the ball musically.. NO technical problems at all (which i think as a first for when I've seen them) and they were energetic as always.
they explained to us that they'd had a very bad day.. the fru-bus had broken down in eau claire, wisconsin (something about "uh, you got no transmission here, guys") and they'd spent a lot of time in a rest stop type place and were told that they couldn't get it fixed until monday because everyone was out deer hunting. they poked fun at deer hunting for a while.. it was hilarious, of course... and basically just told us they'd had a shitty day and were glad to be here after such a grand list of setbacks.
the setlist was similar if not identical to the milwaukee show. they did close
with the drinking song however. i think it was the best version of that i've
ever heard. oh.. and a comment on the new versions of gotta get a message to
you (a cappella) and green eggs and ham.. i applaud!! i LOVED the a cappella one
to start the show out. way cool. i also highly enjoyed Fell In Love.. i don't
think i'd seen that one live before?? hm. i also laughed heartily at the
beginning of Lazy Boy. Jian: "who here has a stereo that rocks?" oh. um. did ANYONE tape this show??? i dunno if you guys do that. but. if
anyone did. i'd like.. sell my soul to you. or whatever. i was gonna tape it
but then i would feel stupid cheering or anything cause the tape would pick it
up so loud. anyways. it was my last moxy fruvous concert for a while because
i'm moving out to California in a month and they don't come out there. (but
they SHOULD! they SHOULD!) anyways. email me if you taped it... i'll uh..trade
anything you can think of.. or pay whatever...
bye bye
