Re: [bomp] Fleshtones - Lightning Strikes Twice in TX

[Joe Emery <jemery@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I first saw them in 1991 and was totally blown away.  That night Peter Z
went out into the audience but right as he jumped offstage, he smacked his
forehead on Ken's bass.  Back up onstage a few seconds later he's screaming
into the mic with blood streaming down his forehead and nose -- one of the
most awesome rock n roll moments ever.

You can't imagine what it's like playing with those guys -- the Ugly Beats
have never played better sets -- the Fleshtones just bring out the best in
the bands they play with.  So yeah, I've known for a long time how amazing
they are live.  But after watching them on Saturday, I told a friend I'd
rather see the Flesthones in 2008 than see the Beatles or Stones in the
mid-60s.  

They used every square inch of Beerland Saturday.
