Hi. I'm new to the board. I've been a massive Westerberg/Mats fan since the mid-80's. I'll support Paul to the day I croak, not the least because he was such a nice guy to me when I met him at the Mean Fiddler Club in London in '87. He could have been an asshole aspirant rock star on the rise, but he was instead quite a shy, homesick and really friendly bloke and ended up buying me a couple of pints and chatting for three quarters of an hour. (I ased him what he did back home in Minneapolis...one of the dumbest questions in retrospect, and I remember him just shrugging and replying, "I dunno...cut my Dad's lawn, y'know normal shit") Anyway, to get to the point, I'm desperate to get hold of some of the 2005 shows. Tried all the torrent sites, but they're all dead. I have a few bits and pieces to trade, mostly from dime a dozen recently. I do have a tape of the Mats UK debut at the Mean Fiddler in '85 (I think...dates a bit hazy off the top of my head), that a friend of mine taped...a very good night, very focused and obviously trying hard for their London debut. I'll have to get a friend to convert it to digital if anyone's interested as I don't have the equipment. Ok, thanks and keeping my fingers crossed!!
Nigel.
