Saw this show Sat. Had a great time- hadn't been to Blossom since 95- its a great venue. I'm listening back to the tube now- it really is quite smokin'- there's something about Tube and Ohio (12/7/97) I agree with Mr. DollarBill.
Also, speaking of old timers- I think the lagging tix sales I've been reading about on boards are largely explained by one thing- the crowd is getting older- I'm 36 and I didn't feel like the old guy at the show. And the kids aren't catching on in the #s they did before the hiatus/breakup. Every show I've seen since the reunion have been awesome- energetic- old school shows. (Does anyone out there remember Fall 97- I wrote a whole novel listening to just that tour) But they lost a lot of people back in 2004. I'm enjoying the lag. The boys ain't broke- and I remember what happened to the Dead- we don't want that either.
Oh, and ESQUANDOOOOLLLLAAAASSSS!
