sunset junction

Went to see the NY Dolls play Sunday night at the Sunset Junction street fair in Silverlake. They played on the mainstage, which was on Sunset Blvd, ontop an overpass. Their show was great. They played about and hour and a half, I think, and the crowd was very into the show. They seemed to be pleased with the reception they were getting, and how cool it was playing to a crowd in the middle of Sunset Blvd. They also made a dedication to Arthur Kane at one point. The only negative thing was a few people in the crowd. I saw quite a few fights up front during their set, and David even told someone off at one point for getting too crazy. One asshole to my right actually just stared punching people in the face for literally no reason, and then ran out of the crowd. Bizzare. Maybe he was a bit upset from being crushed and figured he'd take it out on the unlucky ones around him.... One thing for sure, the alcohol was flowing that night. They played what they said was a new song, but it has been played before, called We Are All In Love, which was a bit more downtempo, but some some reason got the crowd really going, and increased the crowd surfing. About halfway through, when they played Trash, bodies were flying everywhere. The place went nuts, which was nice. Some of the other highlights were Personality Crisis, Pills, and Subway Train, of course. Jet Boy sounded a bit off for some reason. A friend of mine whom I went with, saw them a few times last year when they played in California, and he said that Sundays show outdid them both. If you aren't doing anything tomorrow night in LA, I suggest you go see them play in Anaheim, especially if you have not seen them before. It was also nice to run into quite a few people I have not seen in a while. We went home a little cut up, and soaked in beer, sweat, and something unidentified, but it was well worth it.....
