Some of this has already been said, but this is my version of the recap, so...uh...deal or something. Yeah. Met Jaq in Bethesda and we treked to VA at around 2pm, made it there by 6 (i drive kinda fast). Soon after arriving we met up with Greg, Jay & his son Colin and Sara and her friend Jenn. It was so cool to finally meet you guys and get the different stories of what songs you dig, how long a trip you took to get there and the like. You guys deffinatly made the experience of my first PUSA show that much more memorable. After about an hour of sitting through bands called HANDJOB or whatever and FROTTER (sounds like something you scream when you're on fire)the guys finally showed up and we all traveled backstage to meet and greet. Chris spotted Jaq immediatly and recognized him on sight! Lucky bastich. I introduced myself and Chris recognized my name from our correspondence and told us that he had passes waiting at the front gate fro Jaq and I and if we had gotten them. Since we didn't even know about them we didn't, but the gesture was still awesome that he thought of us like that! Chris mentioned that they're going to re-release the self titled album sometime in the summer with new tracks, then a possible DVD with the videos to LUMP and PEACHES as well as a making of docu, and finally a brand spanking new album. Awesome. Colin got his guitar signed (genius idea) and Greg got his hat signed since he didn't think to bring anything for them to sign. I didn't either, and my camera's batteries had died the nigt before, so i brought NOTHING but my scrawny self and i'm still kicking my own ass for that one. If anyone managed to get me in a shot they took send it my way (I know Jay took a pic of Greg & CB with my head showing up in the bottom corner like some demented leprchan or something...that'll do for now). After much starstruck-ed-ness, we finally left the guys alone to work on the setlist and waited for the show. After one more band, Georgia Avenue (who sounded like John Mayer beating the crap out of the Goo Goo Dolls for fucking up a Counting Crows cover) they announced that PUSA would be on stage soon. Cue the mad rush of PUSA fans to the front of the stage. We got all the way to the front and stayed there the entire show while Jaq & Jay stayed a bit back and taped the show. Colin and Sara at the very front (as they were the shortest) and Greg and I hanging back just behind them with Jenn and Greg's friend Allison whom he met at the front gates. We were joined by a little junior PUSA fan named Logan who had to be about 6 years old. His dad wanted him to get as close as possible so we got him to the very edge of the stage and surrounded him, in case any "festive dancing" decided to partake in the crowd. We took it as our charge to keep an eye on the small fry and keep him out of harms way so he could enjoy the show, and his father seemed appreciative. The show began. Chris came out ready to rok and they started playeding some tune we hadn't heard before. I guess you could call it "Cool Time", a sort of newer "Ladies & Gentlemen", but with Chris making up the lyrics about the current venue, and all the stuff at the Festival (funnel cake and turkey legs). Despite it's slow start, it became a good roker to beging with, then they kicked into "Kick Out the Jams". The show pretty much took the same setlist as the early shows, which roked. Some newer tunes were "Jilted On The Tarmac" (Chris & Tad, with Jason singing Tad's verse) "Some Postman" (which totally roked despite Chris saying he fucked up the words) and they brought out the Angry Chef for the guitar noodles in Naked & Famous. I don't know who this guy really was, but he looked ike Neil Young on speed. But man, can he wail. Too cool. The show ended far too soon, but an encore was eminent. The guys came back out and roked "Problems" (a Sex Pistols cover) as well as "Highway Forever" (totally new tune, it seemed) with the Angry Chef returning and Dave and he having some sort of Guitar Battle with Chris stomping around the stage like some demented bald Godzilla. I can't wait to see this on the vid. The show ended. Greg was a hero for the whole evening for keeping the crowd surfers off the girls, except for a few who had decided to use Jenn's head as a landing pad. Logan skipped out after the first 4 songs which was just as well since he prolly would have gotten crushed anyway, despite our best efforts. I had a huge headache since i was standing RIGHT in front and i hadn't eaten anything since noon. The evening still wasn't over, however, as we learned earlier that the band was going to hang with whoever wanted at some ritzy bar called THE METRO just up the street. Sara and Jenn had to leave since Jenn was about to pass out from a near concusion (i hope she's ok) so it was just the few of us remaining. We get to the club and BOY is it hoity toity. $20 a plate, and that's without any FOOD on it. We decide to head up the street for gub, as the band won't be there for another 45 minutes anyway. We eat at the CORNED BEEF, named since...uh, since they serve corned beef, i guess. Salty corned beef too. Anyway, now fed, we trek back to the club. We head upstairs to where the guys are and see Chris tearing up the dancefloor like a madman. A full rok show and he's still pumped as ever. There's a bachelor party at the next tabel, and Chris is interacting with them like he's known them for years. And somehow, he doesn't seem like he fits in with them totally (mainly b.c they're all HUGE black guys who loot like football players) but he still slides up to them without a care in the world, making them laugh and get down with their bad selves. We chill with the guys for a bot, Jaq is mistaken for Chris no fewer than 5 times in the entire evening, and we finally have to get back on the road. Before we leave, we say goodbye to Jason, Dave & Chris. Then, the coolest thing happend. At the last moment, Chris puts his arm around Jaq and I and says "I'm glad i have you two here in person to say this to. It's because of you guys that we still do this. I just want to thank you." Wow. To say Chris and the guys are appreciative of their fans is an understatement. I was so psyched then. All i could do was grin back and say "thanks". Despite my pounding headache, it was the coolest moment of the whole day. Thanks to all who made the trip fun, and we'll deffinately have to do it all again, assuming they head this way soon ( i wish i could make it to the show on Sat, but alas). Now, to copy some, my shout outs... Jaq - Great to finally meet you after all these years. I don't think that without you we would have gotten as far with meeting the guys as we did. Thanks for ZF and driving the leg back to Bethesda. Greg - You're an Ace dude. A total roker who watches out for the ladies. You seriously need to rent yourself out as crowd control for shows, you could make some serious coin (as well as picking up a few numbers) Sara - Thanks for putting up with my mindless cornball jokes. Glad I kept you, Jenn & Greg entertained before the real stuff happened. Hope Jenn's ok and your trip was safe. Jay & Colin - We'll trade shows soon. Cool to finally put a face to the name on the list, as well as meeting the coolest mini roker there is. You're trained your son well, Jay. Now get him to more shows so he can get Chris' moves down and all will be well. Whew. Long e-mails from me are few and far between. Time to do something else for a while and not post for a few months. Insane Ian |

Video Killed The Radio Star / Highway Forever / Jilted On Tarmac / Problems (Sex Pistols cover) / Poke And Destroy Incomplete setlist & unknown order. Mike Musburger on drums. Jason had a broken ankle. with Pretty Girls Make Graves, Visqueen, Erase Erata Review: I got there around five, watched a couple of the bands before PUSA. Nothing too exciting..After the band before them was finished, I grabbed my friend and pulled him through the crowd to get a spot right next to the stage. I ended up right next to the speakers on the right side. Round eight they started setting up...hehe the funniest thing. The 'setup crew' comes out wearing big ole long mullet wigs, fake mustashes, hats and sunglasses..It was so blatently obvious it was Chris, Dave, and Mike ^_^. Pretty funny. The show was awesome, as all of you know who have seen em live. Jason was 'backstage', if that's what you could call it..it was a pretty small stage. Lots of moshing going on, people throwing elbows..I got someone dropped on my head, and slammed into the stage a few times, but there was no way I was moving! Setlist..hmm..well, most of there stuff was from the self titled album and II..with the exception of 'Video Killed the Radio Star', 'Highway', 'Jilted', 'Problems'....hmm. i think that was it. oh! and 'Poke and Distroy' (my new fave PUSA song!) I had Dave on my side, and he did a lotta playing out into the crowd..I have a few pics of him like, hovering right over me and jamming! Whoo! It was an awesome show...wow, I'm still glowing! Only thing that made me a little mad was the fact that I had my eyes on Dave's setlist that was taped to the stage...I wanted it so bad! But, the guy who ALSO got Dave's extra pick was louder..so that sucked. Afterwards the stage crew threw the wigs out into the crowd...I didn't get one of those, either. But I DID get to shake Chris's hand!! Yay! I was (and still am) starstruck.. :P Too bad I had to wash my hands today for work, I would have never washed it!...well, maybe after awhile. :) Well.....I've never really written a review before, so I guess that's about it. The show was great..It's been about four years since I last saw them at La Luna in Seattle, when they were touring for II..I'm happy to finally have gotten to see them again! If anyone has any questions or wants any elaborations feel free to ask, since I'm just rambling on and on and probly let out a bunch of stuff. That's it for now, I suppose! Denessa |
