ah, you should have gone last night. Not so full, not too hot, fewer hardcore fans, but SO many converts...

Must admit I'm a convert. Hadyn makes me listen to her studio recordings all. the. time. And I never liked them much – too country and a bit nasaly. BUT…

Weird though, to find out just beforehand that two guys were punching it out in the Al Green audience during the Opensouls support set. WTF?

The eyewitness report I heard was that one inebriated munter was calling for Opensouls to pack up and finish and a neighbouring munter took exception…

I have found the Al Green thread (originally posted on Russell's thread where they are rabbiting on about cycling)

Posted at 4:04PM on 22 Jan 10. Report.

It being Friday arvo and all...

Back home, with my ears still ringing from the absolutely-bloody-fantastic Al Green concert at The Civic…

That's pretty committed but if I wasn't in Wellington I would've done the same.

It's not the first time and probably won't be the last. Me and a concert going buddy have been doing the trip for a few years. As we get a bit older though we've started staying…

ah, you should have gone last night.

I got my tickets (the first sold in Wellington, because, yes, I am a crazed fan) and then they announced the second show. And although I am the aforementioned crazed fan, I could…

I was all convinced that he'd do 'Take Me to the River' as an encore, and then there was no encore! Horrors!

Ray Davies a few years ago: Some doofus at the Civic turned on the house lights prematurely, denying us an encore that might have included – by my…

then they started dismantling the cymbal stands and my shoulders drooped a tad.
the group we'd been dancing in the aisle…

truly gutted by the state of 'take me to the river-nessless'

I was all convinced that he'd do 'Take Me to the River' as an encore, and then there was no encore! Horrors! (This morning's previous setlist research informed me that I shouldn't have expected either.) I would have loved…

truly gutted by the state of 'take me to the river-nessless' and I'd happily have pulled the plug on the second keyboard player in the collared t-shirt and tie, but sheesh, the Reverend still has the pipes.…

I can't have been too far away from where you were standing

Heh, at the Bath House no one's that far away from each other :) I was…
