Just Back From The Jesse Malin Concert
WOW!!!!!!!
Well, after dropping April off, I still had a 2 hour drive home, so I'm just stumblin' in now.
It was general admission, and we were front row, center along with a friend of mine from the Ryan Adams board (it was our first time meeting...we all had fun together though). There were two opening acts...the Deadstring Brothers and Friction Plane. Both of them were most excellent, and had some very hot band members! April used up almost all of our Jesse film on taking pictures of Friction Plane. After they performed, it was like, damn! That was killer, AND we still have Jesse yet!!!!!
When Jesse came on...oh my gosh...I felt like I'd died and gone to Heaven! And he was RIGHT THERE...I've never been front row, center at a concert...I was in awe. I even felt spit and/or sweat hit me! He performed every song from his album, except for "Xmas" and "Cigarettes and Violets" (C&V was on the setlist, along with "Hungry Heart", but they weren't played). He told good stories and gave an excellent performance. At the end, he said, "See you in the summer!" Man, if he comes back...I would most definitely go see him again!
*cute moment*
Between one of the songs, I sneezed, and Jesse said, "Bless you! Or...what is it they say? Gesundheit?" Then he looked at me and smiled.
I'm so happy.
I'm sure April will give a report later today!
