I can't wait for the Cambridge and Albany shows!

[Jason V.]

I should be picking up my ticket for Knitting Factory in the near future.

I saw them in Cambridge, where Michelle came out for three or four songs and sang back up, as well as guitar and piano. After the show, she hung around and handed out little cards promoting her show at the same venue next month with Destry.


And then, in Albany, people were calling out for John to play Play Crack The Sky and he said he couldn't remember it. So then a guy said he could play it on guitar, and John said he couldn't remember all the words. But he gave in and he, and the guy, Rich, covered Brand New's Play Crack the Sky. It was an awesome impromptu moment.


I recorded it with my blackberry, and there's some girls screaming at points which was annoying but I didn't think the sound quality was too bad if anyone wanted to listen: www.sendspace.com/file/uroikq

Everyone had their cameras and cell phones out at this point so I'm sure it'll be on youtube, if it's not already.

Also, all the opening bands were damn good, which isn't always the case.

so wait, some random guy from the crowd got up and played the guitar for it?

haha thats kinda cool

Hahah, yeah because John said he didn't remember how to play the song. So when he finally gave in to attempt to cover it, one of the fans in the crowd (whose name was Rich, I think) said he could play it on guitar. So John let him play the acoustic while John tried to sing it.

thats pretty funny
