i thought the evens were fine - for 15 minutes. not sure they would have held my attention much longer. i liked their set-up on the balcony, so they offered something visually different. i like ian's stories, probably more than the music he played.
i also think that for some people here, ian stirs up too much emotion to be able to appreciate on his current merits (or objective lack thereof). but that's just, like, my opinion, maaaaaan.
