Though the prospect of PETER MURPHY fronting NINE INCH NAILS is interesting on its own, what’s even more interesting is the song selection.
Although I’ve seen many frontmen do this sort of stuff, this didn’t feel forced. He seemed to be genuinely possessed at times.
Thus, when I heard that they would be playing one of the best-sounding venues I’ve ever been to, World Cafe Live, I was stoked.
This is a complete bonanza for STOOGES fans.
Simply put, this show was an absolute blast!
The encores, consisting of singles released in 1977 and 1978, just killed. These included “Promises,” “Love You More,” “What Do I Get” and “Orgasm Addict”, the amazing set closer.
Watching THE JOY FORMIDABLE perform was like being in the eye of a hurricane. In other words, they live up to the hype and then some.
But on this night, it was the encore that really thrilled.
John and Exene were both in fine form, joking with the audience liberally and telling stories about each song beforehand.
To say that this was an epic Feelies show would definitely be an understatement.
All of a sudden, the crowd stood, clapped, cheered and a good time was had by all.
