Welcome Jamal of the not-so-wonderful-of-late-TMBG-list-but-hopefully- getting-better-sometime-in-the-near-future. Anyway, I wanted to say that I purchased the Ramshead tickets for my gf, Nicola, myself, and my friend, Andrea. We are at table #103 if anyone cares. By the way, the nice gal at the ticket box said that 4 people could fit at each table if anyone has a large group coming. I don't know what time doors open and/or the show starts, does anyone have any idea? Thanks, Matt - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Matt James Voice: (301) 231-9898 x. 121 TYC Associates email: mjames@tyc.com Rockville, MD alternate: mattj@charm.net http://www.tyc.com - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: 30 Jun 1998 03:17:45 GMT From: dalevy@aol.com (DALevy) Subject: Re: nyc!! It was in NYC. And Brian is right... it was after Granpa Fruvous, not Marion Fruvous' appearance. Both were present in the NYC show.

Howdy neighbor, we are at table #102, and since we bought 4 tics I guess we have it all to ourselves. I don't know anything yet about show times, but I guess door opening time isn't such as issue with assigned seating. See you there! Smiles, Wendy :o) P.S. Chris and Zard (and all other DCers) the date for the Dan Bern show at the Rams Head on July 22nd ------------------------------ Date: 30 Jun 1998 03:49:25 GMT From: chrismoe95@aol.com (Chrismoe95) Subject: NYC Review!! Hi All, Chris and I left Maryland around noon and made it to NJ where we were staying around 3:30. Another easy ride WHOHOO!!! After getting directions we took the train from NJ to the city. We successfully navigated the subway, and thought we would make one quick stop at an ATM on the way to the venue. Well, let's just say it's easier to find a rent controlled apartment!!! We walked through some sad little "carnival" and god knows where else, before finding an ATM...only one problem the ATM needed an ATM...it didn't have any money. Well, we were finally able to locate one and continue on to the Bowery Ballroom. We found Jo, Jen, Cricket, Gordon and a huge group of people waiting outside the club. It was a good thing too, because we probably would have missed it if they weren't there. We waited outside for about 10 or 15 minutes before they let us in. It's always more pleasant standing outside in June as opposed to February!!! Once inside we saw Lisa (from the Bronx), Ella, Dan J, Jason, Rob (or was that Toby?), and many more I'm sure I'm forgetting. Jess Klein started around 8:30, I think. She was pretty good, but the audience was kind of noisy during her set, so it was hard to pay attention. Moxy came on around 10:30 to the now familiar, and welcome sound of the extended version of Sahara. Well, it's not familiar to everyone....the guys standing behind me thought it was Raja *smile*. That was followed by Jockey, and BJ. The guys seemed to all be in good moods, so I could tell were in for a fun night!! It was at this part of the night where what turned out to be the "theme" of the evening made its first appearance. Recently there have been more and more "Murray's People" popping up...as a result of the show in Albany a few weeks ago. There were even people standing "stage Dave" that were claiming to be Murray's people (to which it was remarked that Murray's people should actually stand by Murray!!) Well Dave was feeling left out. So he decided he would create the theme to "Dave-O's People". It was an interesting little number..very catchy!!. Speaking of the crowd...I guess this is where I can get on my soapbox (anything for some extra height!!), and discuss my opinions on that subject. I must start by saying I love when a crowd reacts to Fruvous, but to just yell things out in the hopes of being recognized is assenine!! Especially during songs that hold very special meanings for many i.e. the Drinking Song!! Please be considerate of those around you. Ok, I'll get down from my soap box now!! Following "Dave-O's people was Horseshoes. Then came the new song section of the evening, Sad Girl - a song that makes me happy- and Pisco Bandito, this was only my second time hearing it and I LOVED it. Then came You Will Go to the Moon and the always enjoyable Kid's Song. For the second night in a row Grandpa Fruvous made an appearance, and we were treated to Minnie the Moocher. One of my favorite parts of Minnie is watching the guys react to Mike's lyrics just like the rest of us do!! After some very funny banter on Jewel poetry we got to hear another new one. It is called I will Hold You, and it is beautiful!! Then we got to hear the genesis of the name Moxy Fruvous, as we all know by now it was after that fabulous Canadian Crusader Marion Fruvous. I love when Marion makes an appearance, and it is Chris' favorite live song. That was followed by Jian doing an improv as to how that was a "Rare Fruvous Song", to which Mike commented that it wasn't well done, or something to that effect!! That was followed by Michigan Militia, Johnny Saucep'n, Message (a capella), Kos/GE&H, Get in the Car, and they closed with Signed Sealed Delivered Medley The first encore was Video Bargainville followed by Psycho Killer. When they came out again I almost thought we were going to hear Gulf War, but Mike had his guitar and Dave had the accordian, and they were off mic. What we were about to hear was the most amazing rendition of the Drinking Song I have ever heard. It was absolutely incredible, I wish I could have put every person that has asked me why I follow around this band in that room for those five minutes. It definetly would have answered their question!! What a fabulous night!!! Definetly a 3 3/4 Budgie show!!!
