Paul Westerberg
My friend Steve got tickets to see Paul at the Supper Club and The Gotham Gal and I went with him.
Another friend named Steve hooked us up with some great seats. But we forgot to bring a camera so all we had was The Gotham Gal’s Treo.
Paul put on a hell of a show. It was basically a Replacements concert. At least 2/3 of the songs were from the five records Let It Be through Don’t Tell A Soul.
Paul cranked out the songs, never really stopping. He must have played over 30 songs in less than 2 hours.
Highlights were:
1 – Paul switching to drums on Can’t Hardly Wait
2 – Taking a request from the crowd to sing Things (from his first solo record), forgeting the words, and getting the guy who made the request to feed him the lyrics
3 – Going from the line "I Will Dare" in Anywhere’s All Right (from the new record) to the real thing.
4 – How Can You Like Him from the new record
4 – Ending the first encore wtih Left Of The Dial
5 – Coming out and doing Alex Chilton for a second encore.
God bless Paul Westerberg.
