Lots of fans sang along on several songs. They play for 2 hours and don't seem to have a set list. Ben Nichols takes requests and does his best to accomodate. For each request, he'd say "yeah, we can do that" or "that's a maybe" or "we can't do that because ... but great suggestion!". No wonder why they have rabid fans...<br /><br />They do get compared to The Replacements, but Uncle Tupelo is a lot closer (for me), and I'm a huge Uncle Tupelo fan.<br /><br />BTW, if you're interested in seeing the more popular half of Uncle Tupelo, tix for <A HREF="http://www.highergroundmusic.com/wilco/lowell/" REL="nofollow">Wilco in Lowell on July 11</A> go on sale Sat. I'm more of a <A HREF="http://www.sonvolt.net/" REL="nofollow">Son Volt</A> fan myself, but I may try to check it out myself.<br /><br />The band <A HREF="http://www.myspace.com/titusandronicus" REL="nofollow">Titus Andronicus</A> opened with noisy indie rock.

I've had some good luck getting a good spot there in the past. Stop by, if you see me (dark hair, mustache, glasses).<br /><br />If you haven't seen it, check out the video for <A HREF="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=5274904" REL="nofollow">Dreaming In America a film about Lucero</A>.<br /><br />Oh, I loved this description of Lucero's live shows from allmusic.com: "a Replacements-like show that's brilliance on the brink of drunken disaster". Yeah, I'm so there...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400889345923116857noreply@blogger.com
