I appreciate your perspective. <br /><br />Bill Shapiro is an easy target, but his show introduced me to the likes of Van and Joni when I was just a kid. <br /><br />The Folly Theater is wonderful. And now that I can fit into size-34 pants again, the room's tiny seats no longer bother me.<br /><br />I really want to read your take on BOC. (As I suggest in yesterday's post, I loved Saturday's show.)Happy In Baghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325328547476858000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16161528.post-15132944620713824802013-06-11T07:21:56.430-07:002013-06-11T07:21:56.430-07:00Der, I come here regularly and didn't see the ...Der, I come here regularly and didn't see the prod. Well, it was one of my favorite shows but then I don't have that many monolothic events to compare with you professional music scribes (Finn said it was one of the best this year so far). I was surprised to hear him singing songs I associated with Linda singing originally. I made the mistake of perusing Youtube the night before and discovered a clip of the band covering "Hey Joe." That wound up in the shows encore with a spiel about the legendary trios of the 60s making the big bucks. I would have preferred him playing his own song, he only has been writing since I was a baby!! I had seen Michael Jerome in 2005 with John Cale and he has to be one of the most talented drummers working: and he was wearing a tie and vest!!! Taras Prodaniuk also handled backing vocals with Jerome and had some nice moments plunking the Fender bass. Little sparkly bits of lighting gels(?) were slowly drifting down on the musicians catching the audience and players' attention for a whimsical moment or two. I had older people near me getting way too chatty (guess it's not just recordbar hipsters to blame) but the Folly for us was a great venue, it was refreshing to see a full floor (never scoped out the balcony)and Bill Shapiro didn't take up any of the time allotted. I have said derogatory comments about his radio show and should be more considerate since Cyprus Avenue had some role in bringing the group here. <br />This is quite a lengthy "comment" and I appreciate you asking my take on the show. I am writing a review of the BOC show at Old Shawnee Days, if you want I can forward you it. I actually had a goofy notion I could spot you there but that was a large crowd. Okay, enough of my babbling.

The highlight for me was Waltzing's For Dreamers, played solo acoustic as a request from the audience. The songs from the new album sounded great, and the band was incredible. All the kool kids were there.
