This was the FIRST rock 'n roll show at the Pickwick Theater in Park Ridge, IL. The sound was not spectacular, but it had a nice homey up-close feel. For those who got there early, DADA did their sound check in front of a sparse audience. It was mostly free-form jazz fusion with hints of "Ask The Dust" in Mike's noodling, then Joie sang a few lines of "Skater Boy".
Opening Act 1: World Without Sundays
Great stuff. If you like DADA, you'll probably like these guys outta LA. They're playing some gigs on their own around the midwest in the next week and a half. Very short set though.
Opening Act 2: The Goldstars
Kinda garage rock with a 60s vibe to it.

Sick In Santorini
Heaven And Nowhere
Boogie Fever
Ask The Dust*
Gogo**
Hollow Man***

Curtain call for Jeremy the stagehand

* Joie took an extended bass solo on Ask The Dust while Mike switched guitars due to a broken string.
** AMAZING! Mike only played guitar during the solos, otherwise it was just bass, drums, and vocals.
*** First time since 1995! Thanks Maria!
****Mike walked off the stage during Phil's drum-solo intro to Posters and Phil had a LOOOOOONG solo, with a couple of stops, looking around as if to say "where are you guys?" Then the three lads traded licks before Mike finally kicked in with the vocals.
All in all, a good show even if the sound wasn't great and the encore was too short because 1. These old theaters are cool!, and 2. NO SMOKING! On to Park West....
Adam
PS: Oh yeah, forgot to mention, this show was the first to see the NEW black dada t-shirts!

Hi...Maria's boyfriend checking in. I do believe they played Hollow Man earlier in the tour as a part of a request portion...I'm just too lazy to go look for the post.
We got there about 6:45...while we were checking out the new shirts and hats and stuff, Phil came out to look at them as well, as they were new to him, too. Until the first band started, Mike, Joie and Phil were wandering around the venue (what other band do you get that from, huh?). Mike and Joie were signing some autographs and I went up and asked them to play Hollow Man "for my girlfriend"...to which Joie jokingly (?)replied "I don't know...I didn't see it on the set list".
Mike came over to us a few minutes later and asked how we were (!) and we brought up playing Hollow Man again...to which he replied, "I'll check with Joie."
After the show, I found out that Mike asked the other two on the bus about playing Hollow Man, and after the three of them tried to remember the lyrics, Joie jotted down some notes to help him along (he was glancing down occasionally during the song). Mike brought up that Maria's been asking for them to play the song "for 8 and a half years", so they'd give it a shot! What a memorable night...thanks again guys!
Oh, and the version was not too shabby for not being rehearsed! In fact, it was quite good!

everything Darren said... i am still on cloud 9... the guys are so sweet. i'm sure they get a little sick of talking to all the fans about the same stuff over and over again, yet you'd never know it. they are wonderful. Michael wrote something so nice on the sheet i had them all sign. and he sang "Maria" from West Side Story to me. like i said before, i'll be on cloud 9 for a week if anyone's looking for me. Mike Perez: nice to meet you. thanks for the magnet. Park West here we come... see y'all there!

Another show in the books and another Video to add to the collection.
It looks like Mike's left arm was buggin him but he made it through to another
great Gut check time.
Set list pretty much the same cept for Hollow Man and a stripped down GoGo sans Git.
On to Ohio and I'll wait for Park West.
Hopefully another Video in the near future. Park West would be Creme de la Creme. So far St Chuck is my best to date.
The Band The Sound The Lighting muy bien!

What was the 'Rock Paper Scissors' tune that they played as an encore. And anyone have any clue as to why the encores were so abbreviated? My guess is that conservative Park Ridge has some law that "all ages" shows must end by 11:30. The Pickwick Theatre guy in the white shirt and blue jeans was hovering and seemed anxious to wrap things up. No matter ... the show rocked for me, as usual. Unlike other folks, it didn't appear to me that Mike was hurting. It sounded to me like the guitar clinic he always puts on. I brought with me a musician friend who was familiar only with Dizz (however, when they came on stage, he realized he knew Dim too) and he was totally impressed. Before the show, he had asked, "Should I be listening to this band?" Last night answered that question for him. And it is truly impressive that this band can get up for a crowd turnout as meager as Pickwick had last night. ParkWest in April was packed. Park Ridge is just outside the Chicago city limits. Where were all the Chicago dada fans? By the way, Maria, glad you got to hear Hollow Man. It was a highlight for me too. I have to admit, my buddy and I spotted you during the sound check ... you are hot!! (Darren, please don't kick my ass!)
