According to this tweet, the Tommy Stinson show on Friday is the only one NOT sold out at First Ave in MPLS. |

I got the maximum of four tickets at the First Ave box office, which is at their new bar next door (bartender).
Why is there a fee on every ticket when you buy them in person? Why don't they just charge $13.50 in the first place?

Here's the song that seemed to turn it around for Tommy and the band at First Avenue in Mpls May 20. Dave Pirner's guitar smashing and other antics seemed to help change the mood.

I think it also scared a few people off. Maybe it was the Lincoln joke. Yeah, what was that? I couldn't hear the punch line. Maybe I give Pirner too much credit. It might have just been the point of the show where Tommy was ready to loosen up and play some of the tighter songs (covers and his old solo tunes). |

The joke was something like "What did Abraham Lincoln say after a two-week drunk?" Punchline: "I freed who?" Obviously, he was in character as the obnoxious guitar smashing asshole in a hoody, but I think some people might have been offended. |

Ha, I saw myself a couple of times in this one - I'm the goofy looking short dude standing to the left of the giant Native American.

I got tickets so I can take my 17 year old son to the MPLS Tommy show at the Fine Line tonight. Had to go to the club's admin office over lunch today ... while I was waiting a guy in the office was confirming with another guy that the show was still on. Just making sure before he ordered a TV so people at the show can keep up with the Packers-Vikings game ...

A snippet of "It's a Drag" from Tommy and Emily Stinson with members of Guns n' Roses and the Figgs at the Fine Line, MPLS, Nov. 14, 2011
A much better show than last spring. Tommy was in good spirits. At one point he gave a shout out to his mom and uncles and aunts in the audience. The trade off for a crackerjack band that gelled together was he only did full-band versions of his "solo" stuff ... B&P and Perfect-era tunes were done solo acoustic but still good.
Met a couple from St. Louis at the front. She had thrown him a surprise 40th birthday party and flown in Tommy and the Figgs for the occasion. From that they were pals with Tommy's manager and got backstage for GNR etc. Didn't ask the pricetag for that. But getting up close with elbow room even to GNR guys plus Tommy was a gas, considering they're normally in arenas.
