Review by Chad Hobbs:
I am not THE biggest TMBG fan... But I love everything I have heard.
Which is about 3-4 albums worth. I saw the show at bogarts in
cincinnati, OH march 22 (?) it was a monday... The opening band was
Soul Coughing... Which kicked ass. A great band... However during the
opening act I realized that this show was going to be A LOT rougher than I
expected... I thought "Hey, it's TMBG... No one can mosh to this..."
How wrong I was. BOGARTS is a small club (which is great) it seats about
1000 (?) people. Well durring the opening act 2 people were actually
INJURED. As a result of a fight. Others were hurt while crowd surfing.
I actually saw people surfing durring the intermission... WITH NO MUSIC.
When TMBG came out it was anarchy. I was immediatly crushed. And was
crushing other people. Mind you I am stage center about 5 feet back into
the crowd. I maintained this position for the entire show. (although it
nearly killed me) By the end I had lost my glasses (which I wouldn't
have worn if I had known it was going to be that violent.) and I got
kicked in the head by a surfer... *OUCH* But it was great...
TMBG played for almost 2 hours... And they played HARD. Highlights for
me was hearing TMBG's redition of "The Joker" by Steve Miller (is that
the right title?) They did a great job. I loved it.
So, are all (or any other) TMBG concerts this violent? I enjoyed myself
at this one... But I had a hard time actually watching the show (partly
because after I lost my glasses I was blind -- but also because I was
always "defending" myself)
