Re: B-52s / music in Norway

     The B-52s played here in Champaign, IL last December, and they really
were good.  It was incredibly enjoyable considering the small hall it was
in (about 1000?.)  The cramped quarters didn't stop everyone from dancing
themselves silly.  The music was very loud, and made the adrenalin really pump.
It's the best concert I've been at around here.
     The opening act when they played here was 'Toad the Wet Sprocket,' no
joke.  They were surprisingly good..  They had a CD in the stores here before
the concert, but afterward it took a month to get any stock back.  They were
that good.  I don't know how to classify them, but it seemed to be a less
active show than the B-52s put on, but they had a lot of emotion on the
songs.  I think Toad's album is _Bed and Breakfast_.
