MUSIC MIDTOWN 2002: Saturday... pre-event my show schedule. full schedule. midtown PICS weather forecast: HOUR BY HOUR. Fri: QuickReview. Didn't rain at all. Crowd wasn't bad at all, considering the historical droves... guess many people didn't want to get wet. Also, the overall line-up wasn't as strong as most Friday nights have been in the past. Fri: Treacherous Cab AK & swerved along from the attic to the event, and had the cab stop at the main entrance near the civic center/WillCall. Appearently the female cop was as impressed with our cab driver's driving skills as we were, and promised a ticket to him as we rolled out in a plume of smoke. $5 tip should cover that. hehe Fri: RockCommerce Waited at WillCall for Jesse. Tickets. Enter. Beer. Update the aged wooden bead necklace around my neck. (Don't worry 'rin, I'll still buy one from ya). Fri: Rock Metroscene Caught Metroscene... IMHO... still think my dear friend needs a charasmatic leader, and more cool harmonies as heard in a couple of the tunes. Fri: Rock on Butch Butch Walker, god bless his soul. First ever performance without the other marvelous Two and the sound was on and off... crushed the momentum... but the performance was still there. Glad to see both Mark from BlackLightPosterboys rockin' on stage with Butch on guitar, red-mohawk and all... another rockstar. Butch is in prime position to capture an audience... needs *that* song to do it. Fri: Jam War GyroTime! Got a Tull shirt.... Remember the song "LowRider"? That was War... and we caught the jam... still with that magic groove. Fri: Jam Tull After a long wait between bands, the "incomparable" Jethro Tull with Ian Anderson took stage. Favorite after favorite... twas like classic storytelling mixed with hippie-jam-band vibe. Breath-control still as good as ever, and Ian still owns the stage. Could have a been a bit louder to drown out DavidLeeRoth down the hill. Strangely... didn't play "Too Old to RocknRoll". hehe Cab back. Fell to sleep. Wet again today. Pancho in hand. Please allow me to suck down some more java before the show... today's highlights should be: Counting Crowes, Bush, and STP. peace- seanrox
