1979!
last night was dangerous in every sense of the word, firstly in the usual pre-opera house visit to Dan's (yes I'm shocked they have a website...) which featured the usual mass-beef consumption and a club sandwich that almost consumed Etienne instead of the other way around. Dan's may yet be my favourite restaurant in this city. it is beyond compare.
onwards to DFA, where we sadly missed the opening business, but frankly it's hard to express interest in acts that are virtually stifled from being announced as to their existence on the bill! as everyone knows by now, DFA is explosive, and they proceeded to explode for a full hour, rocking through most of You're a Woman, I'm a Machine with some older and maybe new(?) numbers as well. particularly blazing was romantic rights, but really, the mosh-heavy crowd would have welcomed a DFA'd Shiny Happy People if it was offered up. it's been a while since I've been present for an indoor mosher, and as tempting as it was to jump in for a song or two, my other judgement (and parka and hat) prevailed.
everyone walked out of the show very suitably impressed-with the exception of the street person who had snuck inside the club post-show and was literally bounced back on the sidewalk by the kind folks at the opera house. and what was with that frisk by the way? I got like a double deal! am I that suspect?
the reality is that DFA1979 will someday become so large and mighty that they'll just be able to be DFA if they so desire-but let's hope they stay cooler than Bush X.
