i was there. at least part of this new yorker was. Matthew Sweet's band was not so memorable even the Sweet had words for audience members. someone screamed, "Play Scooby Doo", matthew fired back Fuck You. it was all downhill from there. seriously though, don't isolate a heckler and try to humiliate them. on the other hand, the Tender Idols were fab. a bit of american faux brit pop group. the front man was from England. Ian Webber. i still own Girlfriend (Deluxe Edition) as well as Distressor. Anyhow, sorry to burst your nostalgic bubble. the site itself, the Tradewinds was a cool venue. hot tubs in the winter. sadly, this new jersey institution in Sea Bright is shuddered.

Anyhow, let me know if u need more info or just some Sweet-inspired memories.

Michelle Shocked, Michael Penn, Erin McKeown, Assembly of Dust, David Poe

Allegheny Landing Park, Pittsburgh, PA....   The WYEP Summer Music Festival   In Brief: The only old song Shocked played was "Anchorage"--everything else was new. But unlike many performers who are heavy on their latest material, she was so dynamic that no one seemed to mind. Erin McKeown sat in on guitar for about 4 songs. There were some technical troubles during Penn's set, but he still played well. "Long Way Down" was interrupted halfway through ("I'd like to soldier on," Penn explained when he stopped the number, "But it's hard to sing if I can't hear the guitar"), but I'm so glad he played it. He closed with "Walter Reed," one of my favorites of the new record.

PPG Paints Arena, Pittsburgh, PA ....   While I had never seen ELO before and was interested in catching them live, I really went to see Dhani Harrison. As it turned out, Dhani and his band were OK but ELO was extremely enjoyable.   Dhani Harrison   ELO setlist : Standin' in the Rain Evil Woman All Over the World Showdown Do Ya When I Was a Boy Livin' Thing Handle With Care (with Dhani Harrison) Rockaria!
