Another fab show, Matt. Highlights galore, including: classic ‘Mats (plus review!), a multi-tracked–and much missed–Michael Stipe, ace new Mazzy Star, a personal JAMC fave of mine (and Brian Wilson’s, too?), pals Neil & Eddie joining forces, and the Wedding Present absolutely smokin’. And as much as I love MOB’s “Academy Fight Song,” I agree with lotus that R.E.M.’s cover nudges the fantastic original. Make that a future request for me, if you can!
The house was rocking here–and just off of Interstate 5, no less! Cheers, man!
