[review]

Here's the review of the two concerts at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. On Friday, the first concert, I think (it's been a few days - plus at the moment I'm working on NO sleep and a venti iced latte)they opened with Science vs. Romance, went into Pictures of Success (my favorite RK song I might add), then Plane Crashes in C,Chemical Stress (is that the song's title?) And then I wasn;t sure of the order after that... but a new song was in there, plus small figures in a vast expanse and Rest of my life and they closed with Wires and Waves. The fiddle player from Cali was there in the audience and Blake pointed her out, and of course RK was fantastic. I just wish more people came early to see them both nights. Saturday night's concert was just as good, and they varied the order of the songs - same songs, different order. Pierre's girlfriend's brother played bass both nights and did beautifully. Oh, I also talked to Jason the drummer for a bit. At the concerts they were selling the remastered version of the first album. They took off two songs and added a new one. Also, he said that RK is hopefully going to do another tour possibly in January, they're just waiting to decide who they will be touring with. But for those of you who missed it this time around, you may not have to wait as long as you thought :-) I hope all is well with y'all!
