This was a great show, probably the best one-person show I've seen. She was on nonstop (except reading excerpts from short stories from her latest book/albums, Wyatt at the Coyote Place, which you could get for $20 at the venue) like a laserbeam, going over about 18 songs. Talk about intensity! About half of the songs were new, the remaining are standby from her solo albums, with only about 2-3 Throwing Muses songs. I would have paid easily 3 times what they charged....As to venue, it was my first time at the Swedish American Hall. I liked it. Acoustics was good, the atmosphere intimate (~100 people), though it took a bit used to sitting down listening to a concert (amped acoustic, but still rock) for me. My only complaint is that they need to soundproof the rear of the room, as you could hear the bartenders clanging their wares and slushing ice around. I would go back again, but next time sitting at the front.
