Well, it's SUPER late, and I am tired as hell. My camera is not transferring the pics I took, but rest assured that's what all I'll be working on tomorrow. Funny thing tomorrow. See, I had taken that day off so that I could go to the Cow Palace, and stalk the place out all day in the hopes of a mere glimpse of our witchy one. Instead it seems that the show was Wed night, and all these pompous "F's" (in our favor ofcourse) are scalping their wristbands for a hefty sum on Craigs List. Well, thankfully Deborah catches this and lets me in on it, and we are able to go. For about $75 a pop. Not that weighty I suppose. Thing is, how DUMBASS would I have felt, had she not called me, and I got up @ the butt crack of dawn, and waited there all day?!
It was as posted, no Prince, but Billy Joel & Lenny Kravitz. Oh, and FYI, you had to effin' choose!!!! Yup, 3 different stages, and 3 different acts. Such is life. No way would $75 get you a chance to see all three of those names. Just as well. SN was amazing as usual. 13 song set, including Crahs, which I suppose I am grateful to have heard live, but honestly, it just isn't clicking w/ me. In the boots and tonight, the band sounded like they were playing one song, and Stevie was singing another. Up until the "hike up your skirt and show me the world" line, I was bored. Still, I can say I saw it live, and I am happy w/ that. Mick was there, helping to further rock 3 songs including Rhiannon, Dreams & GDW. The drum set was not his, and I think you could tell. He seemed to play it harder than it could take, and sounded sloppy in some parts. Not Micks fault, just his avid play ethic. There was a little stage error between IAF & Crash, where SN just disappeared for a bit and all the band was like hmm? She comes out and says she is so sorry, she had taped a show a while back, they had just incorporated Crash into the set, and well truthfully, she didn't realize she was supposed to go right into a song minus a set change. She was a little flushed/embarresed, but in an uber cute ONLY SN type of way. Funny.
This crap place, which did NOT look like the Cow Palace, but what would I know, I was only there once 20 years ago. Almost 20 years to the date for my first ever show, happening to be FM. Anyway...This crap place held a bizillion people, and it was hot and crazy inside. Like being in Tokyo. We didn't stop to appreciate the free food & booze cause the lines were crazy and we just wanted to be as close to SN as possible. General admission type style. We started out in like "4" rows back, and by the end, right up front. No brainer no Edge walk. Anyway, a great show. A few variation on like IAF and well, maybe that was all. Minimal, but nice. She sounded great. The uh-uhs for Stand Back. lmao.
