It is happening almost literally in my sister's front yard, although that might not hold quite the universal appeal as a well-oriented map.

Schwa. Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 how was the Lowest of the Show portion of the show, Freeker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 It was utterly fantastic!They opened the show with Shakespeare (in order, front to back). Ron solo on Subversives transported me back to 1991.I have now seen that band three times:199120012011Weird. I wonder what they'll play in 2021?!

Schwa. Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 geez, they played the album front to back? not sure if I'm crazy about that. love the tunes, but it seems lazy. either way, I'm seeing them for the first time so I'll like anything sound was good? not quality, but like they've practiced?

Northern Wish Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 We were standing about 6 feet from Ron, next to the sound guy so our spot was about as good as it could sound in that bar.I had worked a trade show all day and got uber drunk fairly quickly and have to say I can't remember if they played anything after Henry. Oops.Yes they've certainly practiced. Ron and Stephen were locked in, and the whole band sounded perfect to my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
