Last night on Almost Live's (Seattle comedy show) New Year's Eve special, they smashed up a boombox playing this particular song. "This is a Prince-free zone... we guarantee you won't hear that song tonight!" I found it QUITE refreshing. ;) - - j Happy New Year! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 01:21:02 GMT From: McCown Subject: NYE show (really long...sorry) Hi everybody! I have been so busy that I haven't posted anything in a really long time. Anyway, here goes my review of the late show last night. Bear with me, as this is my first actual review, I think. Well, this was my very first actual trip to New York City. My parents and I went to the Museum of Modern Art in the morning hoping to see the Jackson Pollock exhibit, but when we got there, the line for it was stretching all the way around the block, so we just decided to see the regular stuff which was fun on its own. Then in the afternoon we went to Rizzuli Books and F.A.O. Schwarz which was so crowded I decided it wasn't worth it. After a quick nap, we caught a cab to the Bottom Line. I was so worried that we weren't going to get good seats since we were only going to the 10:30 show, but someone directed us to the first three seats directly in front of Dave. We were sitting across from two of the Smith girls, Beth and Katie who had been at the 7:30 show too. Everything started amazingly on time, and Dan Bern came on at maybe 10:35 and did a great set of about 50 minutes. His sound system made a very loud noise and then died right in the beginning of "Talkin' Woody, Bob, Bruce and Dan Blues" so he came out to the edge of the stage and somewhat on the table next to me and finished the song while someone came and fixed the sound. He said it was a good thing Fruvous were going to be on at midnight, because if it were him, he would probably start singing a long, depressing song at about 11:55 and not stop until 20 after. The guys came on at about 11:35. They all seemed to be in great moods and full of energy. Murray was bouncing around quite a lot. I didn't keep track of the setlist, but here's what I remember (probably terribly out of order). They opened with "Darlington Darling", which my dad seems to be vaguely obsessed with now. Then Jian said he had always imagined getting intimate with a partner/significant other at midnight on New Year's Eve. Since this hadn't happened yet, he said, he wanted to invite a couple up onstage so he could experience it vicariously through them. So the volunteer couple, Pat and Kelly, were invited up onstage and given chairs to sit on until it was time. At this point, Mike was at the piano, making up a song about the chairs appearing on stage which I can't exactly remember. They did "Horseshoes" with the piano. They started talking about how weird it was that it was going to be 1999 soon and when they were little, 1999 had seemed a long way off and kind of scary. Jian said he had been scared of 1984 coming. Murray said there was a Twilight Zone episode about how in 1991 there would be colonies on planets further away than Mars. Then, for some reason, they all started talking about velcro that was going to take over the world which led to Jian wondering what the word was for brand names (like Velcro, Kleenex, Xerox) that have come to mean all of the different brands of the thing (that doesn't make sense, what I just wrote, but I can't figure out how to explain. Example--Kleenex now refers to any kind of tissue. What is the name for a word like Kleenex?). Then I think they played "I Will Hold On" which is still my favorite of the new songs because it absolutely makes me cry. Then it was almost midnight, so Jian said he thought we should all stand up. We counted down the last ten seconds, and then it was 1999 and all the balloons came down from the ceiling and everyone used their noisemakers and the guys all gave eachother hugs and then returned to their places for a funky version of "Auld Lang Syne." Then, for the first time this year, the King of Spain appeared. They did the short GE&H, Organ Grinder (!), Boo Time, B.J., Michigan Militia, Substitute (which I had been hoping to hear for quite a bit), then the song that's "Spanish" on the setlist, but I can't remember what it's actually called, and then Psycho Killer. For their encore they did MBLABOA and Jian asked us to do duck calls on our noisemakers. Mike introduced "Johnny Saucep'n" by saying that the other noisemakers sounded like someone grating nutmeg, but then the tin whistle didn't work, so Jian told Mike to play some Johnny Cash while he got some water to clean the tin whistle. So Mike played some of "Folsom Prison Blues" and then the tin whistle was okay again, so they played "Johnny Saucep'n." They closed with "The Drinking Song" which I haven't heard in quite a while, so I was very happy. I gave the gingerbread cookies I had baked for the guys to Tobey, because the Bottom Line people kept trying to make us leave by telling us that the club was closed, and I figured the guys might not be coming out. But then I saw Murray and got a picture with him. I had never talked to him before, but he is really really sweet (not like the rest of you don't already know that). Mike came out, but I only caught a glimpse of him. Jian was having a pretty involved conversation with some people, so I decided I would say hi to him next time, but I have to say that he looked really really wonderful in his suit and tie. I know I forgot a whole lot of stuff, but this is too long anyway. Now I'm just excited for the show at the Trocadero!!! A little over a month...maybe my Frubliss from last night will last 'til then. love Lizzie ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V3 #1 ******************************************
