Louisville, KY (Atom)
06/12/05 So we haven‘t played a show since November of 2004, but once we got rolling it seemed like last week! Getting to Louisville, KY is an event in itself, planes trains and automobiles. We finally make it there and decide to go eat, it‘s only 10PM our time, so we go to the extra “happening“ 4th street where everything is open, but NO FOOD! so we drank.We went to sound check the next day and find a bunch of kids hanging out waiting to see….to watch…..well I don‘t really know WHAT they were doing there but we (Noodles and I ) decided to make them participate in our sound check. After requests for someone to sing Elders went un-answered we played Take it like a Man. Then we got this guy to sing LAPD. He knew EVERY word to the first verse and chorus…..and that was it. Super funny to watch him looking around (for a teleprompter maybe?) until the chorus came around again and he‘d kick it into gear…“ EL AY PEE DEE!!!” Nice work dude, that was fun.
The show was also fun. That really sums it up, we had a good time playing the new song for the first time and just powered through the set. It did stop raining while we played which was pretty great. By the way KY is frickin HOT, even at night. After show activities included: After show beer, first look at the Greatest Hits D.D., 4 pieces of pizza, signing a prosthetic leg, bowling alley hijinks (several Jager shots and miss fired bowling balls, sorry to the people bowling near us) and then some authentic white castle burgers….......
So thanks for coming out and standing in the rain and waiting for us and having a good time….we did!
