I’ll have to check the tape to see if I managed to make it to the end of the show, as I’d often have to cut out early to take the T to Porter Square to catch that last commuter rail train

Good ol’ Jim Sullivan was there once more to document my faves for his review in The Boston Globe, which he rated more favorably than that last Steve Kilbey performance. Though I’m a bit puzzled by the fact that, when two of Grant’s best-known Go-Betweens songs  (”Bye Bye Pride” and “Right Here”) are mentioned here, there is no acknowledgement of them being Go-Betweens songs. In fact, the way this is written, you’d get the impression they were Jack Frost songs. Weird, man.

The reviewer here seemed less impressed by this solo outing, chastising Mr. Kilbey for needling the audience, and complaining that the songs he played “sound alike.” I, on the other hand, was enchanted by the intimate setting and audience banter. And according to this review, he played two songs from the then-upcoming Jack Frost record, his collab with Grant McLennan of The Go-Betweens! Well, dang. Since I taped this concert, I’ll have to bump it up in the digitization queue.

I must have received this postcard via The Church fan club. Though I think I learned of the Boston-area date prior to receiving it, since I purchased my ticket well before the postmark date on this postcard. I was also in New York City the weekend of October 12th, but alas, I didn’t end up catching either of the two NYC-area dates listed.
