Wow! The opening Was (Not Was) gig of 2008 rocked! One of many
\npriceless moments was when Sweet Pea, Sir Harry, and Donald Ray first
\nreally let loose their glorious 3-party harmony on Where Did Your
\nHeart Go. Don briefly burst into this million-dollar smile that
\nseemed to say “I’ve been waiting a long time to hear that sound on
\nstage again.” Or maybe I was projecting.<\/p>\n
Still, it was glorious. The last tour was fantastic but nothing beats
\nhaving all the singers back in the band. Randy was smoking as always,
\nJamie did some guitar-sounding keyboard solos that I would love to
\nfigure out how he did, and the new guys on drums and sax fit right
\nin. Our Beloved Leaders performed and presided in fine style.<\/p>\n

\n==============================================
\nJust got home from the 7:30 show at the
\nCafe du Nord. The band was smokin! The set list had a great mix of old and new tunes. Although the club was small, everyone was moving to the music. I saw Was(Not Was) in the mid 80’s at the I-Beam in San Francisco and 20 years later they are just as good. I can’t wait to get the new record.<\/p>\n

\n==============================================<\/p>\n
I went to the late show, which was also a lot of fun. It was great to
\nsee the band in a small venue (but I gotta say, it was still half
\nempty — maybe because it was a Wednesday at 10:30pm, and the day
\nbefore Valentine’s Day. . .). All the guys looked like they were
\nhaving a swell time. The set ran just under 90 minutes.<\/p>\n
Here’s the setlist (same as the early show).
\n*Spoiler Alert!*
\nThis is also the setlist for tonight’s LA show (to be followed by a
\nfew songs with Brian Wilson and then a few with Kris Kristofferson) .<\/p>\n
