I will echo some of the statements above and say that the acoustic set was way better than I expected it to be. I really enjoyed last nights show.
We, as a group, missed our quadfecta by only one song, cavern. If it had been played, we would have hit aall four songs for special meanings to us. But, to get Sample, Wilson, and Strange Design was really nice. It was also to get a lovely little waste being my lady friend was unable to make it. It was like she was there with me for that song.
Btw, I have Design in italics above, becuase I can’t find it on any setlist, but I freaking KNOW he played it last night.
However, I fucking hate the Electric Factory. I hate the parking, I hate the set up, I hate the sound, and I really hate the security. I have never been patted down as intensly as I was last night…and the guy did it twice. I also, in 20 years of going to concerts, have never had someone open my pack of smokes and look into it for 4-6 seconds. Pop it open and glance inside, sure…but not check it like I was going through security at the white house. This may have been my last show there, ever. And this is not just becuase of security…it is a collection of all things considered…but, last night being such a great show kind fucks with me.
sorry so long.
