I'm gonna make this real long because I didn't have anyone to share it
with.
cincinatti:$17 ticket,all ages,long setlist but no encore, small but
full club, tiny stage, angelo didn't have room to do his thing, norwood
looked DEAD! walt didn't have much fun either. Angelo (AM) used poem as
intro.kid rock opened."6 foot 1 with a 10 FOOT DICK!"
lexington:$8 ticket, 21up show, big club, full crowd, moshing and stage
diving, Walt and Norwood were the complete opposite, they looked like
happy kids, monkey dick, freddy's dead, but no junkee, behavior,
pressure, or fascism.no kid rock.
The drive was 4 hours. I opened the front door about 5pm and heard
someone going off on a drumset. I had to walk through all these rooms
and around corners to get to the stage. the place was empty ecept for
angelo, you should have heard him FLAMING on the double bass! I couldn't
believe. he was having some fun with it.after a while he tried to
finish, but he kept getting up and going"aw...fuck it ha,ha" then
playing some more.
I wore all red and painted the shit on my face again, which made it
easier for him to remember me. I reminded him about the tape and showed
him the minidisc thing.He hadn't ever seen such a thing. He was certain
that I was at the Obelin show, but I wasn't.Hell, he almost convinced me
that I was. I fucked with him a little and asked if he knew which city
we were in. I tried to convince him that we were in Clevland, but he
wasn't buying it. He laghed a lot at the logos on my forhead, like they
were telling him jokes.
Anyway, they sound checked for like 45 min. which let me get the perfect
level and I got all of the sound check which was a long P-funk like jam,
black box, masquerade, alcoholic and the usual, toot-toot, hey-hey dead
air type thing.
after that, AM was doin' some paperwork of some kind and I didn't see
anyone else around, so I cruised around the city and got back later than
I meant to, because I didn't know I had crossed time zones during the
trip. A local band was opening and AM was was doing autographs at the
shirt table. none of you made it out to the show , so I found that girl
manyana from the radio station and made out with her. no, she didn't
show up, but apparantly asking around for her is a GOOD pickup line!
People asked me why I was dressed up and I told them that I was at the
super bowl. I might not do that around here, but I was never gonna see
these people again.I went to the merchandise table which was set up on a
pool table. When I was halfway through the line, AM stopped signing and
looked over at me because I guess one of the fish on my head told him a
joke or something. Then he saw the "fishbone" written across my neck.
everyone was looking around and he just kept laughing, it was enough to
make me go completely mental, I must say.
So after 10 LONG seconds of him laughing, I wanted him to stop so I
chucked some stuff at him from across the table, I threw a pen, and my
heavy half lamenated setlist from the last show. He thought for a while
and then wrote some shit on the list. We kind forgot about the line that
I didn't wait through. surprisingly he asked for my phone number, I knew
he was nice, but I didn't expect him to actually take interest! We
started talking about how I was newly 21 and the youngest one around,
he seemed to be thinking back. I took his adress so I could send him the
tape. we were writing all this stuff down and after a while we both
kinda looked up and went "OPPS!" there was 12 people in line.
anyway I set up in the back/middle of the room and made a very good
tape. I barely got it going in time becasue they ran on stage in a fast
fashion and started playing monkey dick. To bad they didn't stop the
music in the other room, but you could really only hear it between
songs.
I am in awe of how much they improvise. you can easily hear huge
differences in how things go just by going to 2 shows. I think I had as
much fun paying full attention this time as I did dancing at the last
one.angelo played theremin with his foot and displayed hifi equilibrium.
I was gonna try to explain something he did but it's just not gonna come
out right, you know what I mean?
At the end of the set angelo read his poem, "Ja Ja on the telephone",
some of the guys came back up while norwood rolled and smoked a J right
on stage. AM joined him while spacey,deon, and jon jamed out for a few.
I was just hoping they didn't get busted before they finished playing.in
the encore, the goddam club turned the light on durring "party at groung
zero".apparanty fuckin' Kentucky has to shut down At 1:00 so we would
have to miss out on a couple that I was dying to have on my tape.
I know this is impossible, but I liked deon as much as Fish during the
songs, the only thing I miss is the occaisional Fish solo.
