Supersuckers - 20th Anniversary Show
20 years? Is that even possible? I mean, name something you've been
doing, voluntarily, for 20 years. Can you even do that? It really doesn't
feel like it's been even five years of doing this, much less twenty. Well,
like it or not, it has been 20 full years of hanging out with pretty much
the same bunch of guys, doing roughly the same thing, every day,
every night and there's no end in sight. The night that these songs
were recorded was pretty much like any other night in our lives.
Except it wasn't.
We were there to celebrate our existence. To go chronologically
through our repertoire and bring it to a sold out house at the fabulous
Showbox in downtown Seattle, where we cut our teeth for the last 20
years. I mean, how long could it take to run through our history (or at
least touch on most of the highlights)? Well, it turns out it took us
about two and a half hours. That's right, there is about two and a half
hours of glorious Supersuckers mayhem right here. Warts and all. And
I'd be lying if I said there weren't any warts here to be heard, because
you don't get through two and a half hours on stage without hitting a
few clams along the way. But that's all part of the fun. It's the
Supersuckers after all, not the Seattle Philharmonic, so what do you
expect? Perfection? Well, in it's own way that's what's represented here
in this recording - that perfectly imperfect moment, where everything
is wrong and it feels so right. Where anything that can go wrong, does
and yet it still works.
Somehow, someway, after twenty years we still got it...
So here's to the next twenty!
That what I'm talking about...
