Anyone going? Any idea of set times for backstage shows? Is he going on at midnight? earlier? later?

Miss P and I will be there, but no idea on any of the other stuff you asked. I imagine that since it's the backstage, you might want to get there when the doors open @ 8pm, 'cause you do not want to be stuck behind that effin' pillar for the whole show.

Wowwwww! That album/record was major for me in college. I would have LOVED to have heard this. So underrated.

That song kicked ass at the show, but I had no idea what song it was. Makes me want to look into this guy's stuff.

All in all, a great, great show. I absolutely loved the "storytellers" moments, and hearing "The High Party" done solo is always welcome. Way to go, Ted! :D

OH SHIT. After more research, I just realized Mark Mulcahy was the frontman for Polaris, best known for their song, "Hey Sandy" (aka the Adventures of Pete & Pete theme song.) Awesome!

Agree that the show was great.

I never noticed before, but Ted Leo looks kinda like vansmack.

I saw him on Friday in Baltimore. Great show. It was at the G-Spot, which I had never been too. Pretty cool place for a show and can't compalin about the free beer.

First time I ever saw a picture of smackie I thought he was the homosexual-love child of Ted Leo and Brian Rafalski.

Unfortunately, no. There were a few requests for "Town Crusher" but they were denied…
