According to the person I spoke with on the phone there, the show is *only* Eddie From Ohio and Moxy Fruvous (in that order.) There are not other bands playing. The show is free to all. - - Jason jreiser@ecoutez.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 15:55:00 GMT From: hakmusic@juno.com Subject: Tapes of recent shows Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone happened to have good tapes of any of these shows: Cleveland 6/11 Ann Arbor 6/10 Minneapolis 6/15 Louisville 6/22 I have lots to trade if you do. I haven't heard any of the new songs and I am going through a bit of new Fruvous withdrawl. : ( thanks, Harry p.s. Have I been out to lunch - has there been any discussion of Great Big Sea on this list? I just got Rant and Roar and I love it. Seems like a natural fit for Frufans. - -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/ Now offering spam-free web-based newsreading ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 16:51:59 GMT From: beetleschka@my-dejanews.com Subject: Re: Pics for FDC In article <6moq91$bav$1@fnord.dfw.net>, starfox@dfw.nationwide.net (Starfox) wrote: > > Silly deja news user, you only have to click submit once. :) > > Of course, in the risk of taking another tangent into off-topic land, > Anyone know how to modify the posting address in tin? > > Starfox "Hrm, one of the alternate newsreaders is looking good..." > Yeh, & speakingofwhich, how do you do sigs?

(he had the entire bar singing that famous tune "corn, corn, corn on the chicken..." ;p) he was really terrible, but he knew it, and played off of that, so it wasn't as miserable as it could've been. perhaps this was just to make fruvous look even better... so, white lightning left about 9:45. the bar was getting really warm, and the minutes slowly passed... and passed... and passed... until finally, after much chanting and anxious chatter from the crowd, fruvous came onstage at 10:30. set list: sahara (extended): wow. there was a dawn of comprehension as to why that key on the keyboard was taped down... i could've listened to the guys jam for half the show. jockey full of bourbon BJ don't cry: i think it was after this song that jian yelled, "no one knows my plan!" much to the delight of the tmbg fans in the room. does he randomly yell tmbg lines often? or is this reserved only for the end of BJ?? ;p bargainville: by this time elizabeth and i'd abandoned the stools and were dancing with the rest of them. kept my eyes open for photo ops for jian... frat boy (improv): they commented on how there were a lot of guys in the audience yelling comments at inappropriate times, so they must've had an audience of frat boys. they didn't go off on this topic for very long, but it would prove useful later in the show. i think dave did his stevie wonder impression here... sad girl: i love watching jian sing this one. :) can't wait to have it on an album, altho' it'd lose something in not being able to *see* the lads on their alternate instruments. sleepy drinker: my first time hearing this... kind of made for a slow section of the show, right after "sad girl." but it was *really* hot in there, so i'm sure a bit of a lull was needed. it might've been before or after this song that murray asked the audience if cincinnati was a big ska town. my boyfriend tony, a ska fanatic, went nuts cheering. dave said that he looked like he could be auditioning for a ska band, but he just needed a hat. tony, whipping off his hat, shouted, "here! here!" he tossed it up onstage, and dave went at it, skanking around the stage. hilarious. :) tony got the hat autographed after the show: "ska is not dead -- dave matheson" boo time: lessee, i know some of the lines in this one included "live at ripleys" and "doin' a couple shrooms in the dressing room," but for the life of me i can't remember any of the other cinci-specific quotes. oh, well. entertaining nonetheless. i love my boss: *heehee* i love this song, especially after seeing it live. it's a riot. spiderman (on the setlist -- kids): before this song started, jian held up a shirt that some guy had given them earlier in the show. it was a homemade frushirt, from the looks of it, and they lauded francis, the artist. during the song, mike commented that the world needed a hero, and that hero was francis! at this, francis jumped up onstage and started flexing muscles, gyrating around, and trying to sing mike's lines. he wouldn't leave. once they finally got him offstage, they launched into an improv about the frat boy francis who dances... either he didn't care that they were blatantly making fun of him, or he was drunk, or both, but he kept up the frat-boy fanatics. tony commented that he and eric'd beaten him in pool before the show... michigan militia present tense tureen johnny saucep'n: i'm certain my face turned bright red from singing along to this. ;p left me winded... i've gotta get a message to you (a capella): mmm. magnificent. i love this song, and i not only had a fantastic view of jian, but his "backup" vocals were right above me. :) king of spain: used the "australian republicans" intro again, and referred to dave as "puppy-dog eyes". very entertaining. somewhere in this part of the show (sorry i'm not being more exact on the improvs) jian divided the crowd into thirds and pointed at us, to say "yeah," "yeah yeah," or "yeah yeah yeah," depending on where we were (i happened to be at the "yeah" side of the room). it was later modified to be "dave-o", which provided for some interesting opportunities for jian ("who do you want to have sex with?" "dave-o! dave-o! dave-o!") green eggs & ham: lots of fun, especially watching dave & jian's facials. they *really* went off during the "not the beatles!" section, talking about all these songs that the beatles wrote that became really popular (like "i can see clearly now") and that pretty soon, people were going to start talking through fruconcerts like they did beatles concerts during the _revolver_ era... river valley: ohh, this was fantastic! i'd never heard this live, and it's one of my favorites. quite a treat. get in the car signed, sealed, delivered / papa was a rolling stone / rio: high-energy, great songs... and eliz got jian's setlist, while i got murray's. we cheered, and cheered, and cheered... encore 1: my baby loves a bunch of authors: murray said "my crucifixion" again, 'stead of "short works o'fiction"... psycho killer encore 2: drinking song: my first experience with this song live, as well. i linked arms with the people i knew, as well as a friendly blond girl next to me, and swayed and sang. the hand motions were a pleasant surprise. the wonder of having a roomful of frufans singing as one made me wish the song had several more verses. so, after bolting to the bar to drain a pitcher of water, we got in line and purchased t-shirts (i went for the blue definition shirt). we wandered outside, and around to the back door, in the hopes that the band members would come outside and sign autographs. it took a moment to realize they were already *there*, just inside the door. i approached dave first, commenting that he did a great job on the drums, even if it was his "first time" (during that "yeah yeah yeah' improv). i got a picture with him, then went up to jian. when he was done talking to the person in front of me, he turned to me and said, "hi, kat! good to see you again..." i was floored. before the columbus instore, i chatted with him at the cappuccino stand, and he asked me my name... i'd absolutely no expectation that he'd remember it. i'm sure this has happened to others of you -- is this just a special talent of his? regardless, i gushed about the wonderful performance, and got a picture with him, as well (2, actually, 'cause he said he blinked on the first one... then my film ran out. so much for mike & murray.) mike mentioned that they liked performing at the canal street pub in dayton, so they hoped to return there before too long (yay!). murray was nowhere to be found, so we began the trek to the car. and lo and behold, someone had parked behind me. i had literally 2 inches behind and 4 inches in front of my car in which to maneuver. i jockeyed around for awhile (lots of fun on a hill in a stick shift, with no room for error), until at last we were free. driving by ripley's again on our way out, i glimpsed murray out front signing things. turning the corner, i parked quickly and ran back to the bar, completing the evening with my fourth autograph. we began the drive home, content, sleepy, and still singing. all in all, a wondeful night. especially for my first frushow: autographs, pictures, setlist, t-shirt, poster... and one heck of a fantastic time. oh, if you were there, i was the crazed girl in front of murray with the scarf around her neck. and a smile on her face. :) treasuring memories until next they arrive in my area, ^kat^ "is it a crime, spending my time dreaming of yesterday?" ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #31 *******************************************
