too bad about the austin show... i got to see the first show here in Vancouver.... wow... nice venue (the Orpheum)... great sound... one of the best shows i've seen in a while (i had never seen either one in concert before, not even Crowded House) .... i don't know if they've been doing it since, but watch for Neil's son to pop up here and there playing guitar and percussion in the background (you have to really keep an eye out as it's not mentioned)... the new album is amazing, but as always, the songs always sound better live.... worth the money to see great songwriting in action.... really inspiring show... and Tim Finn/Dave Rave - separated at birth or what?? ralph altho my day job is at their label, i have nothing to do with marketing/publicity or anything like that - i just make the cds :) and what a nice cd it is, too.... beautiful packaging on uncoated paper... all the lyrics! great stuff....
