Rose McDowall and Sorrow last night in S.F.
Well, Rose and co. gave one STUNNING performance last night- she sounds better than ever and looks great and happy. Got an interview w/ her the night before on a local college radio station- about 40 minutes!
She played acoustic guitar, as did one other guy, and had a bassist, who also switched off on guitar and some other "celtic" looking instrument, and a cellist (who is amazingly gorgeous!) and one bongo drum during a couple songs.
They did Let There Be Thorns, To Drown A Rose, Voices(which was uber-intense! "If I Had A Gun, We'd All Be Dead"!- she started screaming it as the music rose- just amazing!) and ended w/ Since Yesterday, which she wasn't sure she was going to play before the show.
They played for about an hour and half and the crowd was so respectful and quiet, except for one annoying guy trying to sing along out loud w/ every song directly behind me. If I was a violent type, he would be having his jaw wired shut today cuz I would have loved to smash him in the mouth. It's one thing to sing along, but at least know the words, and don't scream and SING IN KEY OR SHUT UP!!!!
Anyway, ran into many friends, some old, some new, some current, etc. Ran into my ex-beau and his friends and that went really well- we're friends again.
A great night was had by all and I think Rose was surprised at the turnout! Good size crowd, though nothing like a jam-packed crowd when Nina Hagen plays or someone.
Anyway, a grand day to everyone!

OH my goodness, golly, jeepers! How could I forget to mention they did a stunning rendition of one of my favs- The Wickerman Song from the Nature and Organisation album "Beauty Reaps The Blood Of Solitude"??? AND another cover of a DIJ or possibly C93 (certain songs get all confused in my head w/ all thee different versions and such!) song, which I'm spacing on at thee momeant. Hope to have the recording siouxn!!!!!

I was just about to mention this- you can listen to the show, but you'll have to start at midnigh or sit through the horrid Faun Fables, a DJ set, & finally thee first 20 minutes of Sorrow!
BTW, the C93 song they did was A Sadness Song cuz I'm listening to it now. Once I get my copy from the board of this show, it'll be up on SoulSeek for those who want it.
