Another amazing solo show last night from Bob Mould at
the Showbox in Seattle.  He ditched the bass player he was playing
this tour with back in September, so this whole show was solo
acoustic...except, the first encore was played on his blue Strat.
It was cool hearing Bob play Huskers songs on electric again!

the following exchange occurred before "Favorite Thing":

BOB:  It's great to be back in Seattle, indoors at least. (referring to
the outdoor show he played in June,
the opening of a Levi's store...while down the street the new Planet
Hollywood was opening as well). I've
got a bunch of free Levi's!  What can I tell you, it was a favor for a
friend of a friend.  I learned my lesson.

GIRL IN CROWD:  (unintelligible)

BOB:  What?

GIRL: WE LOVED IT!

BOB: Oh no, it was fine.  It was just kooky with all that Planet
Hollywood shit going on.  I got to Seattle
and said "jeez, there's a lot of people downtown for the Levi's
opening!".


Bob also mentioned he had a headache from the climate change (he'd been
in Colorado and Vancouver,
both very dry).  At the end of the show he said "boy this turned out
better than I expected...I had a great time!".
