Christine
My roomie and I got into a car accident on the way from Purdue to IU (Chris and Matt-good thing you weren't with us!)...she hit a patch of ice, and slammed into a guard rail...we're okay, but the car looks bad. The ironic thing is, Crash was playing on the tape deck, at the time...spooky. :) Enough of my troubles--here's the review that y'all are waiting for: (Oh--I thought that Dave was saying "sweetly" during that intro--anyone??) First off, song notes... Nancies: No "Could I have been?" I was a bit bummed, as I like to hear the things he makes up...Tim kicked my ass on this big time. God, he is so awesome! Jimi: "smoke my kind..." Kids love this line--especially the guys across the aisle who totally smelled like they were rolling in hooch for the last few days... :) The sorority girls behind me were very confused by this intro "What the hell is he singing, Julie?" Hee hee hee....I thought you could tell it was leading to Jimi, but maybe I am just that cool. :) NEW SONG: Oh man.....Unfuckingbelievable!!! Dave says, "Tim has never heard that one before--I thought I'd play something new..." OSW: Chickachickowww...I love when he does that! Dave says, "If green should turn to gray, would our LOVE still bloody beat?" Don't ya love to swim naked? :) good crowd reaction to that line...horny little devils, huh? 2 Step: For some reason, I think Peter Gabriel at the end of this song...always reminds me of Blood of Eden...don't know why. SG: Here's a coupla lines I caught: "I spilled the wine--oh leave it, it'll do.." I am never disappointed hearing this live. JAM?: This sounded suspiciously like a rockin' new, long intro to Minarets, dark lyrics, etc...Dave and Tim were getting into it, and at a certain point it got quiet--at what was supposed to be the change to Minarets?--and then some idiots (a bunch of them, really) started clappin' and hootin' and hollerin'. Dave got flustered, looked up momentarily confused, and just kinda stopped the song, which of course, meant that Timmy stopped playing, too. Dave said something to the effect of, "I'm sorry. I don't know what the hell that was..." LYD: Dave says, "If I could whistle, I would, but I can't...that's my good friend Leroi on the album, so forgive me..." :) At Purdue, he was talking to Tim right before this song, and he was saying, "No, I know you can do it, I just don't think I can." Who woulda thought that Dave can't whistle? Makes me laugh, though I am not sure why... 2 Much: Dave says, "I suck too much." Hmmm. Monkey: Tim goes nuts...some guy in the audience yells that monkey noise (you know the one--ooh-ooh-ah-ah), and Dave sings, "monkey see, monkey do...we don't need a monkey, we got one here..." Warehouse: Man, I LOVE THIS SONG acoustic!!!! Wow. That's all I can say about that one. Louie, Louie is always fun. Okay, before I go any further, Mr. Matthews took my advice of the night before, and got himself a new stool. Davespeaks that I remember: The Greek thing....here goes--I hope you are all amazed by my mental prowess at times... Dave says (does anyone else think of that Farmer see 'n say thing when I write that? The cow says, "moo.")... "I'm reading the Symposium by Plato right now--slowly, 'cause I'm not that clever...Isn't it weird how thousands of years ago, the Greeks decided how we all would live now? Like, I mean the Western culture, 'cause the Chinese knew what was going on for a long time...So, the Greeks all decided how we would think, but they were all wasted, 'cause they drank so much wine! It was like, 'Give me another glass of wine, and I'll tell you what to think.' I mean, Socrates was a complete drunk, but they couldn't tell, 'cause he was always saying clever things. He committed suicide by choice by drinking poison, you know, but probably only 'cause he thought he was drinkin' wine!" Big laughs and cheers here. 3) And, a Timspeak (kinda): Someone yells, "Tim, what do you say?" Tim looks at Dave, and says something, and Dave says, "Tim says 'woof.'" So, yeah, Tim was talking up a storm...yay. He kills me. Okay, that is about all I can think of for this show, but I did remember another Davespeak from Purdue... Someone throws a shirt on stage, and David looks at it, and says, "You know, this is kinda obscene, but you know, sometimes, it's hard to tell what is being thrown onstage, but you can always tell the difference between men's underwear, and women's underwear..." Then, he gets into how they smell just a bit different, you know (I will spare your tender sensibilities this bit)..."That is the sweetest smell in the world...Women for President! I'd stay home and cook--shit! You know, I make a mean egg souffle, omelette thing..." He looked like a little boy who is feeling a bit naughty telling this story--killed me. I do have to say that I was stoked to finally hear You Are My Sanity by Tim. Man, he is so cool. I was going to buy his new CD, but the line was too long, so I decided to just mail order it..can't wait.
