(oh, and if uber-Pixies-fan Nancy ever gets a whiff of the Toadies butchering cover of “Where is my Mind” she will FREAK OUT!)

Nicely done and thanks for the laugh! Russ

You are an old fart. Might as well just put on the headphones, sit back in your rocking chair and wallow away your golden years. I wonder if @lisha's mom had to drop him/her off at the show ? A curfew does suck. Thanks for letting me know you were in town.

I was talking about another song. I was told it was a cover by another concert-goer. (I trust that the person next to me knew it was a cover, but I can't be sure.) I fell in love with the Toadies' first major release, "Rubberneck". It was one of those albums that just blew my mind the first time I heard it. Their second album was delayed several years by their original lable, and that stalled any momentum they had. The band broke up soon after, long before most of us fans got a chance to see them live. So I have a feeling that a lot of their shows are going to look just like the STL show -- full of 30-something, die-hard, '90s-loving, Toadies fans who never got a chance to see them live -- like me. Luckily, it turns out that their new stuff is pretty damn good, too! I recognized the Stones cover (I just didn’t like their version). I was talking about another song.

Make sure not to disrespect Dishwalla or The Verve in future posts! Who knew a band like the Toadies would have such rabid fans 12 years since we last heard anything from them.

It's all good...two of the commenters have thought REALLY hard about what it would take for the Whigs to impress them and shared that with us all.

Seems that Walter and SlackerSam gave their opinions while respecting Dan's whereas @lisha insults Dan???? Ahh, to be young and stupid again. While his comments were respectful and coherent I must take Walter to task for having to be told that one of the Whig's songs was a cover........of the Rolling Stones!!!! Opinions, opinions, opinions.
