Graham,
Very good point. I went to go see Whitehouse last Thursday night, but wimped out because it took them forever to open the doors. A friend emailed me a brief description of the show. I missed it. Nothing more. I should have stayed and waited. They played late, but of what I heard, it was a damn good show. HOW COULD YOU CAPTURE THAT WITHOUT BEING THERE?!?
I hope no deadheads are offended.
Derek
