Elektra pete and arlo (21) RE: pete and arlo 26 Jan 98


Actually, when I saw Arlo here last year (two years ago?) he started to sing Alice's but said he couldn't remember all the words 'cause it had been so long... We were in the back so he couldn't hear us, but apparently no one closer was willing to help him out either, so he stumbled through part of the opening, (with the usual Arlo-esque embellishments of course,) threw in a chorus or two and that was about it. :( Still a GREAT show though. (He is very friendly in person, too.) He did get pretty pissed at one point though, 'cause he was using the (hired-local-who-shall-be-nameless) sound guy's PA and it died partway thru the show. As in, COMPLETE silence. Arlo tried to keep playing thru it, but after a couple of minutes he realized nobody could hear him but a few people in the front row, so he just kinda stopped, tried to laugh it off, and then pretended to be pissed. Exaggerated tapping his foot, whistling, glancing at his "watch"... finally he just looked up and GLARED at the guy... (By that time, I surmise he WAS pissed.) Otherwise a TERRIFIC show!! (The poor slob DID get the system back up and running shortly after Arlo apologized and finally started to walk offstage, presumably to raise hell.)

I'm SURE it's a song by NOW...
