Siena - The "Hoarse" Show  or...
Robby sings every song he has ever sung !!  or...
Hey, great light show

This was the first non-club show I have seen so I was quite impressed with
the big stage and light show (lots of room for the boys to run around). The
Why Store opened. They were alright, but not my cup of tea. Universal Honey
were better. She is a honey, but I wish she would belt her vocals a little
more (like Kim Shattuck of The Muffs). The lights went down, the crowd
roared, the opening notes of Naked filled the hall, and Johnny couldn't sing
a note!! What a drag. I give him an A for effort but all he could do was
speak the lyrics, he couldn't sing them. If you're a Robby fan, this was the
show for you. He sang most of the songs and even helped Johnny with the songs
he attempted. I felt bad for the people who have never seen them before
because they might have been disappointed when in fact they are one of the
best live bands I have seen. Now I like Robby just as much as anybody but the
Goos are Robby AND Johnny. It's just not the same without Johnny's songs. I
wonder how Robby felt being the front man for the night? Did I say the light
show was awesome?! One bonus was Robby singing I'm Addicted - very cool - he
said this song was written before some people in the front were born (laugh).
 Well that's my two cents - I'm looking forward to seeing them in the future
and in better health !!!! 

See ya,  Tim
