BOS2 to all three Thompson Twins.  Love "Hold Me Now" almost as much as I love "Doctor Doctor."

BOS, Joe Jackson.

Mshray -- I got an email from JJ.com yesterday.  Apparently, he is playing the Warfield Oct 15.  Checked out Ticketmaster, but nothing yet...

Good to know, thx!

There's a presale starting tomorrow for the Oct 17 show in LA, but nothing for the Warfield yet. :-\

I say BJ & REM just barely redeemed a VERY by-the-numbers excursion.

"I'll even ask your forgiveness, though I don't know just what I'm asking it for" - this line is complete genius.  Not only is it perfect scansion (sp?), it speaks volumes about how these two, despite this effort at reconciliation, still have enough of a communication gap that these fights are destined to reoccur and reoccur.

Doesn't Big Country have an awesome sound?  Too bad about the singer dude.
Agreed

A nice start with Dwight Twilley.  Is that Tom Petty singing backing vocals?
TP does appear in the credits, if you're still wondering about this.  So I bet dat's him.
