I don't know what "major lose" means, but I just caught the Maniacs show
at the I-Beam. Regardless of what those posters in Berkeley said,
10,000 Maniacs was definitely *the* attraction. And their performance
was excellent. I only wish the sound system was (actually, the sound
system probably would have been fine at half the volume...).
If you like their records, catch these guys live! (Incidentally,
upon first listening I thought the new material sounded at least
as strong--if not stronger--overall as the stuff on "The Wishing
Chair").
