Cloaca Melodia

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 [here's about where I had to leave]   my brother-in-law Ned with the Dolls onstage behind him   me with my daughter, sleeping through the Dolls

Three Rivers Arts Festival, Downtown, Pittsburgh, PA..... This was during a period when Point State Park was being renovated, so the festival had to create a new space by blocking off Stanwix Street and setting up shop there. My wife and 7 month-old daughter went to the show and the kid was very interested in the music as well as the busy surroundings. I didn't get any pics of the performance since that's what happens when you have little one with you (although you can see the top of the stage in the shot below).   . me with my daughter at the show
