Daniel was fantastic in Minnesota!!!
he looked GREAT, sounded better than I ever expected, he was on the top of his game.
His voice had a gravely sound, full and bold.
He could have played all night and I would still have wanted more.
He did Mask, and mean girls both are songs I'd hope he would play. woohoo
and like the show in Chicago "grieviences, life in vain,you've got to hide your love away, speeding motorcycle(w/ band), and rock n roll ega(w/ band) "
rock n roll ega was awesome, I have a new found love for that song after hearing him belt it out.
I hope someone from tonights show has a better memory of what all he played, I was too into it to remember. When he was talking he pretended he didn't know where he was performing and had the crowd yell out Minneapolis then acted like he didn't hear... later he made a remark about 'Purple Rain'. lol. it was a grand night that's for sure. We weren't standing at the stage railing but one row behind the hardcore First Avenue gang, we were up close for a perfect view.
standing in line waiting for the doors to open we had a chance to visit with other Daniel Johnston fans that was exciting...my husband figured we were the oldest fans there.
Chris from Buffalo told me I didn't fit the profile hahaha He figured most people Daniels age don't get it.
