Thanks to Mark Weygandt, from whose website (now defunct) this information was retrieved, along with the informal show reviews and comments below, which were originally posted to the Sugar internet mailing list: -------------------------------------- From: GREG LIESTMAN Overall, a very good show, although the sound was brutal. You couldn't make out any of the lyrics or anything he was saying. So he pretty much gave up talking to the crowd. But it still looked like he was having a great time. The Husker stuff seemed to get the best response. As he said after the show, it was definately a Workbook and Husker crowd. In fact, he said he threw in Chartered Trips because he was afraid he was losing the audience during the new songs. He seemed to really get into I Apologize and Makes No Sense At All. Sinners was also especially good, as was Lonely Afternoon. It was kind of a weird set up for this show. There were actually chairs. So everyone sat the whole show. I think this was the first time I ever sat at a Bob show. But despite the rather odd setting and the bad sound, Bob still put in a great performance. --------------------------------- From: EJDomecq I'm not sure what has been said of this show, but it was truly an inspiring performance. Flat out, and for lack of better terms, the new stuff kicks ass. IMO, New#1 is one of his best all-time. A show highlight, surely--the glassy look that you can swear is directly aimed at you--truly incredible. Intense, beautiful lyrics; tremendous song-structure--I can't sing enough praises. High Fidelity once again beautiful this tour around. Regret missing the new Beautiful Thing from Chicago. Oh well, I'm sure I'll catch it sometime soon. If Bob was sick on Thursday, he sure made a quick recovery. Sounded awesome. Seemed to feed off the very appreciative crowd (what, 3 standing o's?). He said on a couple occasions how fun it was, thanking the crowd. A complete joy for all... Other highlights (besides the great new ones): No Reservations, Last Night, I Apologize, Chartered Trips (which first-true-Bob-experience wife loved--looks like Zen Arcade will be re-introduced to our quiet little household). Great show, excellent vibe, get tickets if you're crazy not to have them already...
