I'm getting bitten by such a wave of nostalgia as I approach the tenth
anniversary of my going back to Rock shows and tonight's show at The
Echo with Fruit Bats (at right), one of my first favorite bands in 2006, was an
affair of overwhelming emotion. Leslie Stevens (below)opened the show followed
by a superb set by Tall Tales and the Silver Linings (below). After exchanging
greetings with Eric D. Johnson, who actually remembered me, I saw Fruit
Bats deliver an amazing set with original band members, plus, and
overwhelm the audience with the superb originality that always
characterized that band. Since Nov. 2005, it was the 1099th concert I've
attended. On Friday I hit 1100 shows and I can't believe it, I want
1100 more!!!
