worst opener will always be demolition dollrods opening for blues explosion the first month the new club was open, back in '96.
Echo & the Bunnymen
even having escaped detroit, i'm not remembering having witnessed ddr in "concert". i do recall an awards show appearence that involved the wearing of little more that a jock strap for the lead singer. rumour has it that they landed a spot on a iggy tour due to a little backstage favor from one of the dolls.

>>> How accurate are these set times?? I know the Cat is too cool to post set times on their site,but I was just curious….I'd like some extra time to burn before I leave home……..
Generally speaking that's how the Black Cat's set times usually work, but hey, nothing is 100% guaranteed. It's usually pretty accurate though.

SO HOW WAS IT? I had 4 extra tickets and could not make it. i am going to shoot myself later after i hear how good it was.
Echo and the Bunnymen were great! I was rather impressed. The audience, however, went completely catatonic after the first half hour. Most of them didn't even have the strength to applaud after the main set and encores.
I thought the show was great as well. Great song selection and Ian's voice was definitely on. The crowd was a little subdued but the show didn't start til 11:30, it was somewhat older crowd and us old guys were up pretty early on a work day.
All in all great show!!
All in all great show!!
I'm one of those older fans and I could not stop dancing. There were quite a few classics I wasn't sure I'd hear – The Cutter, Back of Love, Rescue, even Villiers Terrace (which I never would have expected). And a nice closer with Ocean Rain that reminded me how Ian's voice could just haunt me.
I haven't seen them in a while, so I was likely easily pleased. Ian's missing that mischievenous streak that used to cause him to just spaz out a few times during the shows, but I suppose the balance of having him 'there' for the whole show is a balance well struck.
THANKS Chutney!! And to Bearman, too, for getting my friend in. A Friday well spent.
