[Trash-talk] Liz Phair review (NGR)

[Alan Hoppe]

thanks for the review, pongo! and i'm comforted to know that you're demented
forever.

that's funny about her not doing much on stage and getting zinged by the LA
critics, since that's something that YOU usually zing bands for :P
i wish i could've seen her here when she was just here .. and on her way
down the west coast to cali.

it's weird when artists only play for a little over an hour. i think the
white stripes just did that (another concert i missed here in seattle .. but
i saw them on the last go-round .. but that was at the moore, which was a
cool spot, and this time it was at the freakin' *seahawks exhibition
hall* -- which i hear has terrible acoustics and besides, it's an ugly
building. not that the moore is a pretty building or anything, but do we
really need to go to paul allen's football stadium to see a show? damn the
man.).

oh that's right. paul allen owns seattle, i forgot.

*concert withdrawals*

hey, next year we'll be meeting up again!! album four garbage sea trash
posse reunited for fan-damonium and road trip adventures! wooooo. save me a
spot in line! i'm on my way!

xo.............dancepopboy

> They fixed up the old Hollywood Palace, put in a new sound system, and
it's now the Avalon. Apparently they were still finishing the inside as of
Monday's opening night, and at last night's show you could still smell the
fresh paint. Mmm.  :)  It's really beautiful now. They are also putting in a
new restaurant and another lounge for the A-list celebs so they don't have
to get too close to us losers on the floor.

> This was my first look at Liz Phair. She's really pretty. She wore a
little green mini-dress (see through!), a large white belt, and shiny heels.
She looked like she stepped out of a Whiskey go-go dancer cage in 1966.
Opening with Polyester Bride and then Rock Me, she pretty much drew equally
from all four studio albums. She stuck to the standard versions of
everything. She and the band sounded excellent, and there was nary a moment
when her big smile left her face. She doesn't do a whole lot on stage except
play guitar and sing, and she poked fun of herself saying how LA critics
always zing her for that.

> The setlist (by album) included 6'1", Help Me Mary, an impromtu Glory,
Never Said, Fuck and Run, Girls Girls Girls, Divorce Song, Flower (encore),
Supernova, Crater Lake, Big Tall Man, Perfect World, Johnny Feelgood,
Polyester Bride, Extraordinary, Why Can't I, Rock Me, Take a Look, and
Favorite. There may have been a couple others I forgot about.

> The set ran only an hour 15 minutes which I think was a little short.
