ok, my LATE review.
first of all, this was my very very first 930 show that i decided to watch the entire show from the balcony. we got there right at 8pm so we got against the railing on the right side. so that was cool.
i prefer to watch from the floor, but the GF is 5'6" and i must admit, its nice to go pee and get a beer in 2 minutes and sneak right back to your spot!
the show started off bad for me. they butchered sweet soul sister, my favourite song..and i thought Witch and Rain were just very dry. I was actually thinking of leaving. they werent talking much or anything.....
then it all changed...my lady went to the bathroom to prepare for the ride home, and like they didnt want us to go, a blistering version of Wild Flower..followed by Fire Woman and the show was ready for a fabulous ending....so we stayed...and the end of the show was great, Ian and Billy warmed up and seemed to end up having a great time.
a few observations.
1. the crowd seemed to be getting into it much more than i expected.
2. Ian called me out, by asking if anyone was at the club "last night for the Magic Numbers" my GF's favourite new band, that i neglected to tell her about the show even happening...busted!!!!
3. THEY'RE BRITISH!!!! hahaha, i never knew!
4. to thatguy: those dudes you guys kicked out in the front...not really their fault....being right over them....there was an african-american girl (i'd like to be PC but well, she was and she was the only one down there) was throwing balled-fisted punches at any guy that touched her from the opening song on. if anyone should've been kicked out, it should've been her. I know you couldnt see it, though. but all in all , those 2 guys were jerks...but that girl was a first class nasty bitch!
good times all in all. i'll be back for the Dredg/Ours show!
