Dead Meadow had what was called “band problems,” and was cancelled. So Janet showed up on stage suddenly to announce that the opening band would be Sleater-Kinney karaoke. This was fun. The best was two women who did YNRNRF with “You wanna party with the lights on/Come on I like it dark” alternation and finger pointing.
After the karaoke, there must have been some disappointment when Carrie said they’d be back in half an hour, so she said “OK, maybe fifteen minutes. We do need some time to get ready. We have to put our wigs on and stuff.”
Entertain was different than the album, less dance single, more lead-in to Let’s Call it Love. Get Up was given an angry edge.
I liked Everything, and the pairing of it with Rollercoaster. They came around sounding 1967. The guitar sounds were heaven, 1967. Let’s Call it Love had some sixties-hommage riffage in it. Like something awfully close to Communications Breakdown for a bit.
