Re: WITS at the Fitzgerald (Minneapolis) 11/18 - 1 year ago

I agree. I have never paid that much to see the Mountain Goats perform I WOULD pay that much, but not if he is just going to play a few tunes as part of someone else's show. Please, John, let us in on the plan!!

Re: Varsity Theater, Minneapolis (14 June) - 1 year ago

I agree about the show at the Cedar. As always John was great, but there was something wrong, and i don't know what it was. The Cedar should have been a great spot, large but not too big, nice and close stage, etc, but the night was just off somehow. I hope the Varsity is better.

Re: Halloween Show. Will John Do Anything? - 5 years ago

He did a kick-ass, hard rocking, reverb filled electric show-with drums! No costume, no gags, just a mix of new and old songs. He played one guitar, no tuning, no rambling stories, just a funny line or two and on to the next song. It was awesome.

Re: connection to bowerbirds? - 5 years ago

I don't know about "really great band" They were a fine opener at the Minneapolis gig, but they kind of meandered to a close with each song, as if they could not remember how to end. With no real bass or drummer they had a hard time keeping time. The songs were nice and I liked the acoustic sound. Also, they came out promptly, played, and kept it short.

Re: last night's show in minneapolis - 5 years ago

Was that a great show or what! Nice addition with the drums, kept good time, sounded really tight. Totally electric show, lots of reverb and good acoustics for the 400. John seemed really excited to play and loved audience response. He was really on-no endless tuning or wandering chat. I wish they had played a couple of the mellower tunes and what about Palmcorder Yajna!! That was a GREAT version
