Review (by SpunOut): “[…] Great theater – 1500 seats perhaps 1/4 filled. You could tell that it was accoustically designed. […] With all seats, capacity is about 3000. The crowd was thin and somewhat subdued. […]
Several little old ladies took a break from the slots and wandered in to satisfy their curiosity. One asked if a Spin Doctor was covered by Medicare?? You bet, lady! Probably all had ´comp´ tix. Also some parents with kids, the curious, and the fans. One kid (15 years?) in front of me went nuts groving to the music thru the whole show. He told me at the end that it was the ´best concert I´ve ever heard´. […]
I was in front of Eric, and yes, all I heard was guitar. And what a guitar it was. Once again, Mark´s bass was reduced to a booming in the background. What does he use for an amp/speakers?? Looks like SWR?? The Mesa Boogies and Hartkes´ have nice treble punch – perhaps a switch? […] Eric had a standard (?) Marshall with a cabinet of 4-12″s, and his mystery amp (the Marshal lmodified by Time??) with red speaker cabinet (4 more 12´s), along with a couple of stomp boxes and a wah. He kept bending down and fiddling with one box as he prepared for solo. I wonder if the seat further back , or more in front of Mark, would have had better sound mix balance??
Eric played the Gibson Flying V until the last song when he switched to the red SG due to a broken string. I thought that he sounded progressively flatter as the set wore on. Eric bends the hell out of the strings, and I´m sure the strings were stretched (until one broke). The guitar tech had the SG ready, but he went the distance with the V w/o a re-tune (that I saw).
For the dedicated followers of fashion. Chris: Black shirt, tux style black/grey striped pants, white sneaks. Aaron: jeans, purple (?) Ramones T-shirt. Mark: artist black with a black coat. Eric: jeans, blue T-shirt with some sort of a big white gargole head, black sneaks with yellow laces (nice touch). […]
Started at 7:05, and played to ~8:25. The band hung around only a few minutes, and then off to Verona, NY for Friday, and Oklahoma for Sat (that´s a bus ride!). […]
