ohmygoodnessgracious, i am SO sitting here loading up my Ipod with wonderful musical goodness, and what i just loaded on - and playing right now, almost as if it's coming right off this site - is the marvelous amazing creamy smooth frothy loveliness of "Jessica," 3-24-01, Beacon Theatre. golly moses it's FABOO! makes me HAPPY. hmmmm, that reminds me, that Raleigh '01 version, with the big ol' fat "Birdland" section, is that around here somewhere?
until last year, THE loudest explosion of applause i'd ever heard at the Beacon were the ones (yeah, i know) after Chuck's solos in Jessica in '01...but what happened at the end of the set-opening Mountain Jam last year was right there. just DEAFENING! i'm SO stoked for the Beacon this year - last year's run was the BEST EVER, and if i wasn't going to the Beacon, i'd be going to Wanee, THE perfect little rock festival. PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT - the band's gift to the common fan, an egalitarian offering of peace, love, joy, friendship and nonpareil musicianship! did i mention "cheap?" mmm-MMM!
have a GREAT weekend everyone!
