    Brit Floyd tomorrow. I've seen the Aussie version which was great. Heard good things about the Britt show. Lighting plot looks like the Division Bell rig.

    I saw that show several years ago and its very good, almost too good. Much better than the Anti Trump rally Roger Waters was/is running.

    Brit Floyd was pretty good. I walked out in the house and watched Wish You Were Here. Great crew but they didn't seem to be having much fun. Lots of back to back shows. Fk all that.

    Tomorrow however is Smokey Robinson, this is the second time I've worked for this dude. Last time was in 2017 I think? Anyway, the behavior of oooold drunk white women was atrocious. They were screaming from the balcony, they were at the edge of the stage grabbing at him.

    My theory is in the 60's these old white women were young white women and forbidden from listening to that jungle music. So now it's socially acceptable they can work out that teenage lust and act a complete fool when Smokey comes to town. I shit you not they would have ripped him to shreds if they got a hand on the old fella. Walkers and canes and dentures flyin every which a way.

    His hair is really nice. And since mine all fell out years ago I may ask him who his surgeon is.

    Ooh-ooh (Ooh ooh)
    Debonair lullabies
    In melodies revealed
    In deep despair on lonely nights
    He knows just how you feel
    The slyest rhymes, the sharpest suits
    In miracles made real
    Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
    You know you're right just to hold her tight
    He soothes it right, makes it out of sight
    And everything's good in the world tonight
    When Smokey sings, I hear violins
    When Smokey sings, I forget everything
    As she's packing her things
    As she's spreading her wings
    The front door might slam
    But the back door it rings
    And Smokey sings, he sings
    Elegance in eloquence
    For sale or rent or hire
    Should I say yes and match his best?
    Then I would be a liar
    Symphonies that soothe the rage
    When lovers' hearts catch fire
    Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
    You know you're right just to hold her tight
    He soothes it right, makes it out of sight
    And everything's good in the world tonight
    When Smokey sings, I hear violins
    When Smokey sings, I forget everything yeah
    As she's packing her things
    As she's spreading her wings
    Smashing the hell
    With the heaven she brings
    Then Smokey sings, he sings
    Luther croons
    Sly's the original originator
    James screams (uh-uh)
    Marvin was the only innovator
    (Innovator)
    But nothing can compare
    Nothing can compare
    When Smokey sings
    (Sings)
    When Smokey sings, I hear violins
    When Smokey sings, I forget everything
    As she's packing her things
    (Ooh ooh)
    As she's spreading her wings
    (Ooh ooh)
    She threw back the ring
    (Ooh ooh)
    When Smokey sings
    Smokey sings
    (Smokey sings)
    Smokey sings
    (Smokey sings)

    I never heard of that so I looked it up.

    Now we're no longer on friendly terms Chemguy.

    Regardless of politics, the Waters show was pretty good. It's on Netflix right now. Roger was always angrier than the rest of the band, but his lyrics were awesome. But he sang like shit.

    I saw that, yes. It was cool, but the Rush guys sounded out of shape, not having played for more than two years now. Geddy Lee would belong in a Family Guy tribute because he sounds more and more like the old perv living down the street from the Griffins in that show when he sings lol

    After watching Primus play the complete Farewell to Kings album live a few months ago, I have more respect for Les Claypool and his bass playing. They nailed that album. He even took a few bass lessons from Geddy.
