Not going to be a long entry. Suffice to say, last night's show at the United Palace was spectacular. No surprise deviation from the set list, but the goods were still emphatically delivered. New tracks like "Sunday," "Gardenia" and "Paraguay" were excellent. Highlight was probably a high energy performance of "Repo Man."
Other quick observations:
- Saw Jim Jarmusch, Bob Gruen and Jimmy Webb from Trash & Vaudeville in the crowd.
- Ig's limp and overall gait has gotten pointedly pronounced at this late stage, but that didn't stop him from whirling around for the entire set.
- The smoking jackets on the band looked ace.
- The United Palace remains truly palatial.
- A single cup of Corona beer shouldn't cost nine dollars.
If you have the opportunity to see him this tour -- seize it.
