My daughter (2&1/2) has been to two shows, and I'm sure she'll be to more.

Ah, yes. That was a very wise decision. :) - -- chad@ radix.net ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Aug 1998 17:38:29 -0500 From: Chad Maloney Subject: Re: Frustock aka KoP show review (really long) amy wrote: > One question from a relatively new fru (nufru?) -- I was listening to > "Laika" last night, and they definitely did not play it on Sunday at KofP The live Laika is much different than the recorded one. Well, not much as in radically changed, but just has a different feel to it. It is a really good opener to me and when you see it live, the transitions in styles are much more pronounced. Oh, and the bass part is really cool and fun to play around on.... I think they've done Lounge-Laika before too, but I'm not certain. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Aug 1998 15:06:57 GMT From: elinX@rff.org (Rodney Elin) Subject: Re: Frustock aka KoP show review (really long) The Laika of the song was the first dog in space. She was also the first animal in space. Laika's flight on Sputnik II, 3 Nov 1957, was primarily to see if animals would stay alive in space, or in Soviet space capsules, and to see if telemetry (remote monitoring of stuff like heartrate) worked after launch. Laika was 'left in space', to burn up in the atmosphere. There was never any plan or controversy in 1957: she was going up and she was going to burn up and die on reentry (6 days later). Once launched, there was not really a controversy. There was no return cabability on Sputnik or any space vehicle. A picture, not for the squirmish, is available at http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/space_level2/laika.html As far as the song goes, Laika is held as one of the symbols ushering in the space age. (As are Sputnik, Gugairin, John Glenn and Neil Armstrong.) And, I was a KoP, and to my enormous satisfaction, they did, in fact, play Laika, another of those songs that I never thought I would hear live. Now, if I can only get to a show where they perform Down From Above, and if they ever play Love Set Fire, I'll feel complete.
