Me and Johnny sittin' in the green grass, I don't remember too much from that far back in the past
TED. LEO. AND. THE. PHARMACISTS. My favorite band ever, and after five years of being a fan, I finally got to see a real show of theirs. My ears are still ringing and it's been 24 hours. But it was so, so worth it. They played 26(!!!) songs, and we came close to missing the last BART train out of San Francisco, and in fact had to leave in the middle of the last song of their encore. But it was incredible. And loud. Very loud. Ted is such a talented and energetic guitar player. If he's not singing, he's crazydancing around his little corner of the stage. I'm posting the set list, probably for April's benefit more than anyone else's (she went along with me and we ate amazing French food at a restaurant she picked!)
