Amy and i drove up to see Strummer the day after i had caught him at the Metro. She was 7 months pregnant with Emmett at the time (who we were calling "Lump"). How's that for love?
Strummer was good. Not as good as the night before, but that might have been the venue (outdoors, etc.). I did notice that he did, in fact, change the ad libbed parts of the songs to reflect the fact that we were in Wisconsin and not Chicago.

Joe Strummer at Metro
I had been carrying around a big Strummer obsession for quite some time. I finally got to see him here. He opened with Diggin' the New (fittingly), but there was Clash stuff pretty generously strewn throughout. The timpani (or whatever passed for them) were insane for Tony Adams. A. Maz. Ing.
Jon Langford opened (with the Skull Orchard band/album). This is where THAT obsession began.
