The Wallflowers

[Dfid44@aol.com]

The Wallflowers will attract few fans to the MSG shows.  Any tickets that are 
returned (SFX has not yet announced a refund policy) will be gobbled up by 
Who fans.  Afterall, what Wallflowers fan will be willing to shell out that 
kind of money to see the band open up for the Who?  This is not to say that 
the Wallflowers are not worth seeing.  They are!  I saw them a couple years 
ago and they were quite good. Very professional.  Jacob Dylan has what few 
young lead singers do -- charisma.  Although he did seem a bit insecure, 
asking the audience repeatedly "how are we doing?"  The crowd at this small 
outdoor setting in upstate New York was a mixed bag.  Baby boomers with 
children in tow along with teeenagers and 20 somethings.  All things 
considered, SFX did OK by us selecting the Wallflowers. They've got a new 
album due out next month and will surely have enough material to go for an 
hour or more. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.  Still a bit 
disappointed we will not get to see PT and Page share the same stage. 
Probably will never happen.
