[edit] Fan Recaps and Comments:
Bear with me - I'm trying to write a recap due to a random trip down memory lane about a show ten years distant. I'll do what I can.
Prior to the show, fliers went up around town advertising the presence of They at the Alachua County Music Harvest, a three-day open-air multi-stage concert held in fall in Gainesville, Florida. (At least, it used to be; I think they've gone on hiatus.) I remember ripping one of the posters off a telephone pole and keeping it as part of my room decoration. (I was 16, cut me some slack!)
Clearest memory of the concert experience was Flans announcing that it was his first time using a cordless microphone on stage. Immediately after saying that he went into a fairly solid cover of the BeeGee's `Stayin' Alive`. Quite strange, that, but it obviously made an impression.
The fanbase was pretty varied, but had more curious folks than fans; not a whole lot of crowd sing-a-longs, only a few of us hopping around in time to Birdhouse, that sort of thing. In short, nothing at all like shows at the Electric Factory in Philly, nor even at the 9:30 Club in DC. Even so, it was They, it was a good set, and everybody had a great time.
