New York Dolls
Three Rivers Arts Festival, Downtown, Pittsburgh, PA.....
I had seen Syl Sylvain and Johnny Thunders once at the Continental in New York City (with a guest appearance from Cheetah Chrome; wish I remembered the actual date for that show, it was either in 1989 or 1990) but I've never seen the Dolls as a band.
My wife and I couldn't stay for too long, having the little one with us (only 7 months old then!). Plus, I had literally just gotten off a plane from Bonnaroo and was pretty exhausted myself.
Frankly, though, I was a little disappointed with what I heard. It just didn't seem like the Dolls I knew. I heard from others, though, that the show got better later in the set.
setlist (as far as I heard):
Babylon
Puss 'n' Boots
We're All in Luv
Piece of My Heart
Plenty of Music
Private World
