 R. Butler had great stage presence and was very entertaining.

I saw that show too, and I agree, it was great..I also saw them at Nation with Echo and the Bunnymen about a year later...Furs struggled on that one and had major sound problems on top of it all.

I was at the show on Tuesday and i agree it was a great show......Along with George Clinton last night.

I saw both of those DC shows as well.  The Furs put on a great show; I spaced that they were this week as well (actually, I thought they were *last* week and I'd already missed them).  What are you gonna do?
 
 What surprised me at Nation was that I prefered the Furs to Echo.  I didn't think that was possible, because I like old Echo songs much more.  But, it may also have had to do with the amount of red bull and vodkas I'd had by the time Echo hit the stage.  Hell, a gay male friend of mine made out with a woman during Echo -- that was one strange night!

Didn't you think the Furs were really off compared to the 930 show? I still enjoyed it, don't get me wrong, but they had to quit and end the show halfway through "pretty in pink" because the sound was so bad...it was probably near the end anyway...Echo were much better that night I thought.

I'll be at the Pistols show.
 
 Can I expect some goodies from Anton?

I expect so. I will bring one CD, jam-packed with MP3s.
 
 I enjoyed the professonals till my ipod batterey needed charging.

Mank, what can I tell you.  By the time Echo hit the stage, I was frickin' looped.  
 
 9:30 Club was definitely a better Furs show.  Still, I was surprised at how much I liked them when they shared the bill with Echo.

I wish Echo would come back to the 9:30 Club. I saw part of their show there a couple of years ago i think it was and it wasnt that impressive. I like them so i just think they had a bad night. It didnt help them thought that The Tom Tom Club opened for them and i'm sorry but they just kicked @ss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to leave halfway thru the Echo set cause my friend had to leave. I'd like to see the whole thing if they come back.

I've seen Echo three times. 930, HFS'tival (Before they went all Britney) and Nation. IMHO they've been absolutely brilliant everytime. I wish they'd come round again too.

Guiny, not this year.  Looks like their only U.S. date is that insanely wonderful KROQ invasion thing with all the 80s bands (and Fountains of Wayne, for some unknown reason).
 
 And before any shit about the 80s band, that lineup happens to have a number of the *good* british invasion 80s bands.

Can't believe you haven't seen this Mank.  And fyi, it's Sept 20, and it's the L.A. KROQ, not N.Y.

Thanks, I found the link via google....I ignore posts about festivals and the like because the bulk of them are total crap.
 
 That one would be a good laugh, and there's enough mediocre bands there for beer/pee runs too! My summer splurge was for Man Utd tickets anyway, so I'm done.

This brings up a question......who will be the bands at a reunion tour in 20 years time??? NOBODY, because just about every band that comes out these days are 15minute jobbies....one exception, Metallica. Not a fan, but I do think they will be the "classic rock" of the future, the rest of them won't even make the 50cent section in the used cd place.
 
 So people, enjoy nostalga while you can.
