if you didn't stay until the end, then you definitely missed the best part of the show. hard to beat an encore of "a salty salute," "motor away," "teenage fbi," "glad girls," "echos myron" and "i am a scientist." it was nice to see tommy (who indeed fucking rocked) out there singing with bob, i was getting a little verklempt.
i think it took a while for gbv to get into the groove, but i guess you can afford to do that when you play for three hours. by my watch it was a little closer to 2 hours and 40 minutes, but who's complaining? i think the video before they came on was done by the same folks who made the video for W at the republican convention. i was just waiting for that "rugged man voice" to come over the loudspeakers and say, "and despite drinking a combined 94 beers over the course of the show up to that point, all of them being in desperate need of taking a leak, and no one being able to see straight, let alone stand upright, the band played one of the best versions of 'tractor rape chain' ever."
