Well, I really enjoyed the show, but it was not as good as the 2nd night
in NYC (I missed the 1st). I really wanted to hear Hanging Tree (which
was on the list, but he skipped it) and Brasilia, but there was not a
very big crowd and Bob was conserving his voice for a thing he was
recording at NPR this morning at 9am...thus, he plowed through the set
and played just BARELY over an hour. Perhaps the most surreal part of
the evening was when Rick and I ran into Bob at Sound Garden, a very
cool record store in Fell's Point. He basically told us that he hates
Ryko, can't wait to release records on his own terms (this will increase
his productivity output greatly), and he said he will definitely
continue to do the solo acoustic tours. It was so weird looking at CD's
with Bob, though....he confirmed that he likes the Red House Painters,
the Damned, and hates Marilyn Manson (duh!)

Archers of Loaf were okay, but not the best. After hearing people rave
about them, I think maybe the first night of the tour jitters left their
set a bit unpolished. They were still better than Varnaline, whose lead
singer flipped out and did a wailing guitar solo in front of these
teenage groupies who were waiting to see Archers. Anyway, that's my
review.

Highlights: the brutal, awe-inspiring trainwreck of a 
transition between Anymore Time Between and Skintrade
(try listening to those back-to-back);
the distortion solo that blended into a slow and 
trippy version of Eternally Fried; the vengeful 
moroseness of Roll Over and Die leading into the 
triple crown pop assault vehicle of Egoverride, 
Reflecting Pool, and Deep Karma Canyon to close the 
show; knowing that I wasn't wrong in thinking 
Disappointed is the best track on Black Sheets of Rain
- it's the only song off the album Bob played.
