Just got back from the show. Too tired to post a review now, but I wanted to let everyone know that I managed to get some pretty decent pictures of the show. I'll be forwarding full-res copies to Kathy once I get a chance to clean them up, but for now, here are a few teaser pics: jaydryden.net/ipw-web/wordpress/index.php?p=18Enjoy!! |

and for the record... I am so frickin' envious of you. Well, that's why I want to share the pictures with everyone. I am damn glad/fortunate to have been able to see a couple of great Paul show the past couple of months. Between the pics and the weeds that are floating around, hopefully everyone on the boards can have the next best thing. |

a Great show, I'm sure! Well, let's just say that this one was more classic 'Mats than the one I saw in Austin. A few examples: Paul hollered for someone from the bar to bring him some whiskey. A few seconds later, a roadie comes running out onto stage with an (ominously mostly-empty) bottle of Jack. Paul chugged the remaining amount. Later that night, he was diving off the stage (I have mostly-obstructed pic of that which will get posted later). |

i take it from pic 3, you did the meet & greet?! Yeah, that's me with another classic fanboy grin. Unlike Austin, they weren't actually letting folks on the bus. Paul was standing outside the door of the bus to chat, sign stuff, etc. Fortunately, it was an uncharacteristically mild Chicago night. |

Just returned home from my flight from Chicago. I Photoshopped the pics on the plane (there was a lot of smoke in the air that needed to be corrected). Once the pics are uploaded to my online gallery, I will post the URL in this thread. No later than 8pm CST.
Thanks for your patience!

Is that the guitar he smashed into the TV? Or was that a different night?

I overheard Kevin Bowe (guitarist) speaking to some ladies by the bus after the show. He said that the guitar-smashing was completely unscripted. He also mentioned that the guitar hadn't been working right and Paul wasn't happy with it. |

The photos are up!! I have uploaded 24, make that 26, pictures from the show (including a scan of my signed ticket stub). There are THREE versions of each picture: a thumbnail, a screen-resolution version and a high-resolution version suitable for printing. Simply click on a picture to get the next-largest size. Feel free to post a comment at the bottom of any pic. Feel free to use the pictures for noncommercial purposes. If anyone wants to post copies of the pictures on their website, that's fine. However, I would appreciate your posting a link to the original gallery along with it. And, that link is: jaydryden.net/ipw-web/gallery/Westerberg_in_ChicagoEnjoy!!! |
