Amy Rocker Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 It was great meeting you all, it made my dad and I feel like we were amongst friends, which we were. The show was amazing, I'm so glad I got to see them just once.Covers played:a. Can't Explain-The Whob. No Reply-The Beatlesc. Ticket To Ride-The Beatlesd. Needles and Pins-The Searcherse. It's Cold Outside-The Choirp.s. To all the people I saw at the show, my dad didn't believe me when I said we'd be front and center the entire time! Was he wrong!p.p.s When do we get to see how the pictures turned out, Gene? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 This show was measurably better than the Nov 26th show ( and I enjoyed that one).The guys were very relaxed tonight. Wally in particular was on fire.Great great show!Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Tom, how was this show measurably better? Better in what ways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoAnne Marie Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I wish that I could have really seen the Raspberries again! The tickets sold out so fast and too many people crammed into one space, was not my fortay. Will you PLEASE have a DVD of the Raspberry's reunion? I hope so! I will buy it in a hand shake!

Gene Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Amy, I knew you when I saw you. I hope you and your dad both enjoyed it a lot! Talk him into a Chicago trip.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 The show had a more relaxed, spontaneous feel to it. There were several elements to this...Eric reading the soldier's letter, Eric's funny story about the practice sessions for the Ringo tour, the references to his high school....Wally's slap at Dave Shapiero....all the cracks about Dave's blue eyes and ways with the ladies.I also felt that Wally really let go in this showand took his playing up a notch.I came away thinking...I should go to Chicago!

Argee Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 If the set list photo is correct they streamlined the show a bit. Cut one Beatle song, only did one Choir song and did not do I Saw The Light, Might As Well and Starting Over. But they did do Crusin Music and Needles and Pins.Did they do anything at all about the heat in that place? ie. turn the air conditioner on?

steve-o Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 What did Wally say about Dave Shapero? Would be interested to know.ThanksSteve-O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougjack Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Can't remember the exact quote on the Dave Shapero thing, but the gist of it was "thanks for nothing". Also laughed at Dave when he brought out naked Barbie & Ken dolls and talked about what they might've been up to. Then Wally started ranting about how much Dave's obviously much-needed therapy would cost the band. They were definitely looser at the end of the show, and Wally even asked "Have you been drinking as much as we have?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachberry Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Amy, I took my youngest daughter to the show and she loved it. She was 4 feet away from Wally and loved it. She also got to shake Jim's hand. It was a thrill for her and it was neat for me to be sharing my appreciation for great music with her.Happy New Year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Amy,Nice meeting you and your Dad! I am glad you were able to make this show. Hope you get to go to Chicago!! I thought the show was great--only drawback--my shoes were killing me after standing for 5+ hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Rocker Posted January 1, 2005 Author Share Posted January 1, 2005 beachberry, I was 4 feet from Eric Carmen! Standing directly in front of him, smashed against the bar...it was a blast. I hope your daughter enjoyed it as much as I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 A couple of points:1. Dave Smalley mentioned to me that he felt much more relaxed this time around.2. It' Dave Spero, and there's certainly no love lost between him and Wally for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniekNY Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Hi y'all - A clarification: when Wally said "Have you guys been drinking as much as we have?' he meant WATER because it was SO HOT! They were chugging H2O - Dave had beer and water, Eric had "something" in a red cup and water, Wally had tons of water!! Amy, we were warm a few feet back from you and were ready to beg for water from the band! The HOB turned on the AC a couple of times thank God - it cleared the smoke (not just cigarette smoke this time either ) and cooled us off. You had such a great spot - it was great fun meeting and your dad!!!annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Wally said..." Dave you fat, Pilsbury dough boy F##ker...." and went on from there. I am 100% certain of the portion I quoted...he said a few other things...but I can't recall exactly what he said.I was standing right in front of him so I heard him quite clearly...

marvin Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 There was another expletive before the "Pilsbury" word.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniekNY Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Oh, yeah...that's the quote. Eric just cracked up and shook his head...Wally said something else about "this is the end of my political messages for the night."it was fun where we were, wasn't it, Tom???!!!We heard a lot of funny stuff.annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
