It is quite the amazing spot isn't it? And the campground is so relaxed. You didn't seem to appreciate Joan in last year's version, but having only seen the penultimate show of the tour at the Gorge I personally thought she did a great job. Certainly better in tune than Donna back in the day and singing some great tunes: Alligator, Caution, Sugaree, and great vocalizing in Tommorow Never Knows and Space. Warren's awesome, but I kinda like having some feminine energy up there with the boys. 74145@blogcritics.org Wed, 14 Jul 2004 22:34:42 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/07/10/060737.php#comment-73648 The only true place to see a live band is Broken Spoke in Austin, Texas. A truly good live music venue should have gas heaters and leaky roofs - and Broken Spoke most certainly has those. 73648@blogcritics.org Mon, 12 Jul 2004 12:35:46 EDT
