I got to the Crocodile at around 6:30/6:45. There weren't that many people there about 15-20. The tickets said 8:00, so I was suprised. The Crocodile is super tiny. (Bone fans think Tobacco Road) I jump in line and can hear the guys doing the sound check. Around 7:00 they let start to let us in. But just to the Cafe part....we stood there for another hour before they opened the curtain and let us into the stage area...then we had to wait until 9:00 for the band to take the stage....talk about a looooong wait. But so worth it in the end.
Donna, you know I love ya...but I was soooo mad at the girl in front of me. She was tall...and it was hard to see around her. But you know that wasn't the main problem. It was the fact that she kept backing up into me to "have space" well honey when your right up front you aren't gonna get that, and I kept having to remind her that there were people behind me and they weren't moving and to stop moving back so much. Thankfully the second set she left and took her drunk friends with her. All the better for me to be closer to Jimmy.
Anyway...it was pretty warm in this tiny room..and it got only hotter as Train took the stage. Pat strolled out in a Harry-esqeu outfit with the addition to a nice sports jacket over it. He started the show by reading a Ralph Waldo Emerson poem...it was beautiful and it reminded me of CM....by the second song the jacket was off, and then his black shirt started getting all sweaty and sticking to him. (thats a visual just for Kristy) Jimmy sweats just as much as Fred if at all possible..then again I thought I was sweating as much as Fred. They played an awesome, tight first set. I don't know the full first set list (waiting for Brandon to post over on the Train board) but they played Train (such a sexy song), Meet Virginia, She's on Fire, Rat, Getaway in which Pat was featured on the jingle bells AND the sax, Ordinary the new song from Spiderman. Such a freaking awesome song, Calling all Angels,and Rasberry Beret. I am listening to the CD right now!!
Second set, I got the set list:
What is and Shall Be
Ramble
Save the Day
Get to Me
Flatfoot
Mississippi
Respect
Natural (another new song)
Eggplant
Free
Its about You
Drops of Jupiter
Signed, Sealed, Delivered
During Save the Day Pat was leaning down and singing part fact to face with this girl....OMG I would have DIED. Then during Mississippi, he usually pulls a girl onstage to dance with...but he said he couldn't decide and that he wanted to dance with us all(best thing about being a rock star all the good looking girls so Pat says) So Pat comes into the crowd and dances with everyone...he was like 2 people away from me. I was conflicted...Pat or Jimmy? Pat or Jimmy It was awesome. The are such a great band to see live. They sounded awesome, and were still a lot of fun. Not crazy like CM, but a relaxed get you going fun. I am bummed I am missing the next two nights....OH right before the show ended Jimmy was slapping hands and he got to mine and grabbed it and did a sloooooow slap so he was half holding my hand, and he was slapping people with his other hand. I got the long one. tee hee
I had called the Crocodile before going to the show and they said no cameras...so I left it at work. Guess what? They weren't checking and there were lots of cameras. oh well...maybe if it works out for me to go to another show....
"to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;to give oneself; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiam and have sung with exultation ;to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
This is the poem Pat read to start the show. Well this is the part he read..there is more to it....and actually while looking for it online...I found out that Emerson may have not written it. Its called Success...and then they launched into Train.....the bass on this song...OMG...I love having this CD...have my headphones on and the bass is fantastic!!
"Now I know what you like to do, and I am willing to do it all night long, now I know what you want me to say and I am willing to say it all night long...cuz the last time I was here in Seattle WA, I remember you that you blew my mind and I know what you like to do, and I want to do it all night long, so look at yourself girl, look at myself boy, now seriously I just want you to think about yourself girl and how you blow my mind...your 24 or 25 or 26 or 30 something which is the perfect age by the way......now I remember you did that one thing and I can't tell everyone what it was but it was really good!" *sigh* That will set Kristy off.
can you tell I was practicing my transcription skills?
