Camper Van Beethoven

My experience at Cracker shows in DC is that there is always a jerk or two in attendance; Saturday was no exception. Fortunately there were no major incidents (a la Philadelphia). At Cracker shows the hecklers are always "requesting" Camper songs; I found it amusing that they were now requesting Cracker songs at the Camper show. Whatever.<P>Having said that, I loved the show. The highlight for me was "The Day That Lassie Went to the Moon" … transitioning into "Club Med Sucks." I also enjoyed "Waka", "Good Guys & Bad Guys", and "When I Win the Lottery." And of course the cover songs, "Wasted" and "Pictures of Matchstick Men" (I wonder if Cracker/Camper will cover another Status Quo song, "In the Army Now").<P>As for playing the "Devil Song" (and, for that matter, the new Cracker song, "Duty Free"), I thought they were fairly timely choices. Perhaps not musically so, but with lyrics like, "Hey, wanna start a war / I'm tired of this old one," they seemed rather appropriate.

Lowery also changed "known communist" to "known islamist" in Lottery… damn that song sounds good in concert. I'd say 80% of the concert was out of this world extraordinary, the rest OK, and the tusk interval, well…<P>

So anyone get a tape of it or remember the Clash cover (I thought it was white riot but forget now…)?

yeah they did white riot<P>i, too thought fruit (and matchstick) were excellent.

Maybe the problem is that I prefer All Her Favorite Fruit from the greatest hits played faster over the key lime version, I prefer more of the full orchestra sound at the beginning and that was lost at the live show. I also thought that the vocals were especially quiet during the first set.

This conversation is going no where. It?s lacking the place of a good leader to head the things to come out on conclusion.

The above statement is seen to be contradictory. The situation is very critical and need an experience complainer to resolve it.

most random spam ever…

there's another one in the ticket exchange, in case anyone cares.  just as random as the above.
