Groove Fetish Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 can we conclude from the lack of attention that no one went- after all that proding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asparagus Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Bob was fantastic, as always, but the venue left a little to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 I was there for the first couple of his songs (during which he played guitar, IIRC, rather than keys), and, while I liked what I heard, I was in more of a Moonraker mood and left early on. One incident stands out, however: I was first in line for the bathroom, and just as the guy who was in came out, two people, one carrying a clarinet, one carrying a partially-filled water glass, asked if they could go in ahead of me...to tune up. Some minutes, and various tonal bleats later, they emerged, thanked me, and prepared to get on stage. I didn't hear much of the glasses, but it did my heart good to witness the care and attention paid to them. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Prepare for gushing. The show was awesome, with a bunch of special moments. Sweet Gertrude by request was lovely, even if he forgot a bunch of the lyrics. The sing-alongs were amazing, though he later told me his worst nightmare is to have an audience clap along. There was even a bag solo. It's funny, he doesn't jam, yet every show, and every song, is totally unique. I might bring him to town for a piano show. If that happens, I strongly pity da fool that misses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
