Hello, The last time I saw The Posies was at The Bowery Ballroom in NYC (for their Ryko cd release) with get this - The Chamber Strings and The Pernice Brothers opening! The guys in the Posies were passing a HUGE thermos of tequila amongst themselves all night and proceeded to get themselves quite shitfaced and practically on their knees. Stringfellow was in total punk rock mode spitting into the air and swinging his Danalectro around and a rather chunky Auer played some of the show laying on his back on the floor. Still, they were poweful, melodic and most of the vocals were spot on. Another time I saw them on the Amazing Disgrace tour at Lupos in Providence, Rhode Island and Stringfellow wore a skirt for the show and looked rather like Carol Burnett! LOL. Their most glorious shows to me were on the Frosting On The Beater tour and of course Dear 23 is one of my desert island discs! MB
