G2 MASTER AUDIENCE RECORDING
From Steve Wynn's diary:
So what does your favorite cult artist do on his first night off in over a week? Of course, he plays a gig and last night I gave the band the evening off and took on a rowdy pub audience in Haarlem armed only with my acoustic guitar and the eventual help of Wes and Kirk for a solo 'unplugged' (wow, I hate that term) show. Now, I normally love the occasional acoustic show but this audience was so chatty, so inebriated that any hope of the intimate performance went out the window and instead it was a wild hoe-down with acoustic guitars and harmonicas and loud harmonies setting the stage as we played fun versions of "Kerosene Man," "Here On Earth As Well," "Drinking Problem" and several Gutterball songs, none of which I haven't had a chance to play on this tour. Amongst many of our friends and regular Dutch attendees was The Saints' Chris Bailey, one of my favorite songwriters of all time. Holding court in the corner with his Swedish squeeze Elizabeth and the empty wine bottles counting at least three, Chris was the picture of the British Dandy, tossing off witticisms and commentary and serving only to enhance his high standing in my book. |
