1st night of the tour in Milwaukee.

He got though about 10 songs and then started to slur lyrics, forget lryics, rambling for minutes about the opening bands between songs. Finally on the last song he attempted to walk up by the stings band that was onstage and he fell. then jumped in the crowd. The was pulled out be security and stage hands, then broke free and did it again. In the end he was dragged off stage. The last song was "Road to Joy", that was the only song he played from the "Im wide awake" Cd. Didnt even play "When the President Talks to God".

    That's funny. I'm too sober to listen to one of his Albums.

    honestly, i don't really get his popularity. Oberst and i are from the same neck of the woods (generally speaking, not exactly). Don't know him, never met him, (i'm actually much older) but i've heard stories from people who used to see him play in coffee houses and shit singing songs about heartache and shit like that at the age of about 13. Wtf do you know about heartache at 13?

    is that song even on an album? i couldn't really care less if he plays it or not, but i am going to see him in a few weeks and i hope he pulls it together by then. hate to see him go the way of stapp and ryan adams.

    I really dont like any of the early "heartache" stuff. I think hes gotten away from that over the couple albums.

    I really hope he would add another Milwaukee date to make up for that crap last night. But i dont expect it.

    That sucks when you spend your hard earned money and some asshole musician thinks he can just waste your time. Dick.

    I have tickets for the Orlando show (2 1/2 hours drive), but it's mostly for my g/f. I'm bringing a variety of fruit to pelt him with if he's drunk. It'll be just like the movies.
