I kept grabbing the little gate in front of the stage that keeps you from being trampled during a riot; I will call it the metal alloy crowd control device. I was in a totally new surrounding, wet from having to wait in the rain to get in, had never been to a real concert before, was all alone, and so excited I was shivering.

I was upset that I was forced to be to the left of the stage (your right) since others had got to the front before me. I had wanted you to notice me (not that you’s guys ever saw me before).

I had bought Glo a while before the concert, and was too cheap to buy Apparitions without having heard some of it and being sure it was as good as or better than Glo was. (Yeah, kinda weird I started with the 2nd album- like I said- cheap. Glo was 2cd’s for one price.)

K, Gizzard, stop the rambling…

You started playing, and I stood there bending my knees a little, sometimes bobbed my head, did what I could to look less like a newbie.

I remember when you played the title track (I think its name is To Kill a Thing) and I remember when the note squeaked.

Yeah, I felt sorry since having been in musicals in high school, I knew all too well that feeling of ‘Why oh why did I try to hit that note?’

Well my sympathy lasted less than two seconds when I heard the audience clap and cheer (mostly women who probably thought, ‘You go girl! Tell that pig off!’) You can’t really pick that up from the recording.

The ‘performance’ was what sold it. I thought that perhaps the squeak was from emotion, raw entrapped energy that had finally found its way out.

You know… RAGE?

I bought Apparitions and the Live CD (sometime soon it will be a priceless collector’s item and I will be rich).

That night as I drove home I played Apparitions, however in the back of my mind, in between songs and after the CD was over, I kept hearing something. A fierce drumming, concentrated piano, and emotion.

I HAD to listen to TKAK again.

In a nutshell, Christa, don’t lament the note. It made the song. And to quote a woman I overheard while waiting for Wolfshiem… “…it gave me chills…�

again lots of fun to hear you talk about songs n how they were made and aaalll thaat Hey I have that live recording from that Wolfshiem show, i enjoyed it anyway

Hey! Happy Birtheday!

Well,Well,Well, I ‘m always enjoying your Podshow.
