<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2> Well, I just got back into
town from Chicago(I live in Cleveland), so I thought l'd share my thoughts about
the show with the list. First of all it was definitely a wonderful night.
Everywhere I went over the weekend l kept hearing people whispering about
b&s, wondering if it was going to happen or not. I truly feel sorry for the
people in Philly and Toronto, it really did make the Chicago crowd appreciative,
though. I don't think anyone really believed they would play until they actually
came out on stage, Isobel carrying her "get well Isobel" floaty baloon
with her. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2> They only played for just
over an hour, which everyone thought was too short, but everyone would have
thought so if they played all night, i'm sure. Below is what they played, not in
order, though. The last three I don't know the names, but I jotted down a
portion of the lyric I could remember. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2> I was disappointed by no Tigermilk songs,
and only 1 Sinister song, but 6(!) new ones made up for it. I was really
suprised by the amount of instrument swapping in between songs, and they didn't
take as long in between songs as some people have been saying. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> After seeing them in person, I'd have to
say Stevie is the cute one of the bunch, even though I had a dirty dream about
Stuart M. last night. I was at a party(in the dream) and Stuart was playing some
songs on his guitar, and he kept lifting up the leg of his shorts and showing me
what he's made of(he wasn't wearing an english cock cage). Don't worry, I didn't
touch, I only looked:)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Stuart's voice was just absolutely perfect.
Someone else brought it up, but you always think they do something in the studio
to make his voice so perfect, but hearing him in person just brought out the
natural crystal clear beauty in it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> The show was surely one for the history
books. I'm really hoping they come back to the states in the spring despite the
sickness and all. I really want to take another trip that I can't afford to see
the best band around. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>p.s. On the misheard lyric front, for the longest time I
thought the opening line to "seeing other people" was "Renee on a
bad day, kissing just for practise." It kinda changes the song a
bit. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>p.p.s Would anyone like to tape the radio sessions from 97 for
me? please email me personally, I'm sure we could work something
out. </FONT></DIV>
