Ya know...you really can't include this week's shows (2015) until they've passed and you actually were there.  Even if there is little chance of a show cancellation or your car/bike/helicopter breaking down, "concert history" doesn't happen til it's history...

That show was HORRIBLE.

[bearman🐻]

5/12/2000  Elliott Smith @ 9:30

That show was HORRIBLE.

Really?? Did you see the one later that year? I didn't think the May show was that awful. What was odd is I saw him 3 times that year...he unraveled awfully quickly in 2000. By autumn he was ending sets with "Don't Fear the Reaper".
