Fan Recaps and Comments:

-spin the dial- landed first on some classical music that Linnell voiced over with "2000 years ago today Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play", then Marshall Tucker Band's "Can't You See" for a minute. Then Flans tuned into a "Lovelines" radio talk show just as a caller stated "...You see, my major problem is that I can, I can not get an erection!" to which John replies to the crowd "We don't know how that one goes." Hilarious. Then they found some Mariah Carey that was mocked in a high falsetto that morphed back into can't you see, followed by 'shebop-shebop' "I Only Have Eyes For You" with Flans saying "See I don't know, if I'm in a garden, or in the dividing lane, of a very crowded interstate highway. You see my problem is, I've taken some hallucinogenic drugs, and something is telling me, I'm in the divider lane of an interstate highway." shebop-shebop

Graywest:

Ah, the memories. This was the first TMBG show I ever attended, and since I was 17 at the time and The Vogue is 21+, I got to listen in from the parking lot behind the venue. There were about 7 or 8 of us underage fans, and a kind roadie propped the door open so that we could hear. I mean, I bought a ticket and everything and tried to give the bouncer at the door the old "Oh, I'm really 21, I just forgot my ID. Can you PLEASE let me in?" story but he wasn't having it. Oh well. I distinctly remember "XTC vs. Adam Ant" being played at this show, as the others were commenting on it, and I had no idea who XTC or Adam Ant were.
