Beacon Theatre
New York City, New York (05/01/99)

(Opening for Sheryl Crow)
 

i just got home from the semisonic/sheryl crow concert in NYC a little while ago and thought i'd let you all know how it was while it's still fresh in my mind...

here we go....i got there early and all and my friend and i saw a tour bus pull up to the front....it was bright red and silver on the bottom half. we saw semisonic equipment being loaded off and stuff but no band members. we hung around for awhile outside and did laps around the block meeting various roadies and security personnel. but we didn't see the band except for on stage which kind of sucked but that's okay. maybe i'll have better luck tomorrow...

so then the guys go on around 8pm and start off with singing in my sleep. i'm not sure of the order of the songs because my friend got the set list but then came never you mind, in another life, secret smile, if i run with a long jam session, delicious, made to last and closing time. i may have forgotten one.....also, dan stayed on his electric the whole time.

they were all looking good. dan had on a bluish green psychedelic-ish shirt and pants that had the same sheen with a slightly different color. john had on a white satin long sleeve shirt and black pants...i didn't see jake too much because he got on and off quickly. dan said 'fuck' enough to make me happy as well as doing the gorgeous hip shimmy. we stayed for sheryl crow which turned out to be a great show. i didn't think i'd enjoy her as much as i did. but i think semisonic left right after they got on stage which kind of sucked because we didn't see them afterwards...that's okay though.
