I echo Mike's sentiments. I thought Big Star was excellent and
everything I wanted that night. But Frisbie's set was equally as
enjoyable as I hadn't ever heard of them either and was blown away by
them. There's a nice live set from Frisbie at eMusic.
I was fortunate enough to grab one of the Big Star/Frisbie posters off
the wall and had everyone in Big Star sign for me. The same poster is
featured in John Cusack's apartment in High Fidelity.
My last Frisbie mention is for all those on the list with young kids and
watch the Noggin channel. Liam Davis (1/2 of Frisbie) is producing and
playing with Justin Roberts, who is a great Chicago children's
singer/songwriter. Liam appears in all the Justin videos that Noggin
plays throughout the day.

Greg --
I probably should have added that Big Star was, IMO, pretty good. Maybe
the
effect for me was akin to DL Byron and The Boomtown Rats for you --
getting
so knocked out on my heels by a total unknown. Two other things -- 1.
I
think we've had this debate before (or me and others), but some may like
'always mercurial,' it means little to me. Chilton was fairly engaged,
but
he was the weak link out of the four guys on stage, and, 2. while I
love
the best of Big Star, I just don't love them the way most do.
It was a swell show on both ends. But I thought Frisbie raised the roof
that night.
