Review by TheEmu

TheEmu Mostly average show, some slightly above average stuff (Mike's, YEM) some not so much (Mango, 1st time PYITE, Sloth) but overall very good. I think the highlight is plainly Nancy on Halley's Comet, describing the dream he had and declaring that he would never sing Halley's in public again. Props to Mike for keeping the vocal bop up so long. Amusing to hear Nancy's confusion about the love for the tune: "Seriously, what do you guys get out of this? It's a stupid song, it doesn't mean anything!" Also, as the 2nd verse is about to start, you can hear him say "Seriously, what would you do if I suddenly gave head to this microphone." Good question, Richard. Anyway, after that long and curious rendition of Halley's, it segues perfectly into Alumni, which is cool. There is also some amusing banter in Contact "Is was are can past present future" etc. 3 stars for this show, I think.
