Thank you, Stu. That was a really fun show. I thought I'd forget about the stream when it crapped out during "Frie/End", but I'm glad I didn't. Really enjoyed their cover of The Rolling Stones' "It's Only Rock'N'Roll (But I Like It)", it was great to see them performing "Groovy & Linda" once again, too, and of course that new song, "Black Metal Lingerie Freak", probably created spontaneously, was hilarious, extremely cool and really rocking. I had the impression Thurston's voice was a little ragged, and he even mentioned at one point that he had an illness as a means to warn someone from the audience not to drink from his bottle of water. He was in a funny mood, talkative, and I always appreciate when he's willing to share a candid remark or just a random funny comment behind his songs, such as he did with that story about the hippies on "Groovy & Linda". It also cracks me up that Thurston doesn't even remember his own lyrics. I suppose the fact that some of the lyric sheets weren't handed back to him should have diluted the possibility of "Patti Smith Math Scratch" being performed, but it made me glad to see that he pulled that new song out to compensate for that. Looking forward to listening to the audio, but at the same time, I'd be happy to know that you are having good rest after losing some hours of good sleep to capture this. I lament I wasn't able to record it myself, both StreamTransport and WM Recorder didn't work for capturing the streaming.
