Last week was nuts. Tuesday night show at the Vogue - the incredible X!! I was totally blown away, expectations be-damned. An hour and a half of LA Punk by the granddaddy's of them all. Exene's voice was great. Billy Zoom is completely alien. (and somewhat creepy quite frankly) They didn't play Los Angeles or The Unheard Music, but it didn't really matter. hats off to John Doe, Exene, Billy Zoom & DJ for keeping it real. Evan and Gary were on board and we all left with a beautiful memory.
Thursday night show at Conseco Fieldhouse - The Boss. First time to see Bruce and once again I was toppled. Didn't expect to be dancing in the dark with 10,000 other people, but I did. Great to hear "Because the Night." I'm very impressed with the sound at that arena. Both The Who last year and the Boss sounded great. Had great seats for both shows though, still would hate to be up top.
