Hi Folks,
Just wanted to say I saw DB last night, 7/3/02, at the Cajun House in Phoenix. The turnout was horrible, 49 peeps, 46 by the middle of the show, but that was okay by me, so woman wouldn't shut the hell up during the show, was bored and eventually left. I don't think it made for an exciting evening for the band, though, maybe a bit demoralizing.
I've been waiting years to see DB, and he didn't let me down. Helluva show, helluva musician. I can't say enough about the band, too. Top Notch!What a good vibe. Got some pictures, too. I'll upload those as soon as I get them back.
On a sidenote, one or two of the more humorous anecdotes of the evening was when Dave first came on, he acknowledged the fact the venue had spelled his name wrong on the tickets, posters, collateral materials, etc. His name was spelled David Buchewald, as in Buchenwald. Dave said, "My name is David Baerwald, not Buchenwald, in case you're wondering, and I'm not responsible for all of those lost souls."
Dave also mentioned he had "solid, irrefutable, proof Bill Renquist had a journalist murdered in Phoenix years ago, if anyone was interested."
The set lasted 60 minutes and was comprised of songs from every period. The audience kept yelling out requests and Dave said, "C'mon gives a break, we don't know that many songs!"
The show was plagued with technical difficulties all night long, his mic kept cutting out and sound spikes just about eletrocuted the band. But, they all took it in stride and laughed it off.
One encore only, with Dave playing the Moulin Rouge soundtrack tune solo cause he said "the rest of the band is tired and they want to go home and get some sleep."
I'll post the pics when I get them.
