I really enjoyed Derek and Matthew's set that night, too. Got to see the live-PA-with-vocals act from Mr. Dear on Saturday; it definitely added another dimension to his live set. i enjoyed the vocals live more than on the albums, they seemed less effected, more natural and melodic. some of the tracks (Dog Days in particular) were completely different (better, I thought) arrangements than on the record.
Traxx filled in for an ill Dabrye and did not disappoint. wish he wouldn't have played so many Matthew Dear cuts, though... - bot ----- Original Message ----- From: Phonopsia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Saturday, July 24, 2004 6:33 am Subject: Re: (313) Matthew Johnson > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Thomas D.
