Grumpymama and I represented last night at the Eels show in L.A. The show got started at 9:55. It was a less rocking version of the Eels: everyone in suits and ties and acoustic instruments were played, including an upright bass, and bells. After about an hour the group did a couple encores and then Steve Perry of Journey fame came out and they did one Eels song, followed by 3 Journey songs. All in all a 90 minute show. Steve Perry and E are pals, come to find out. It was pretty schmaltzy but fun.
After the show we rubbed elbows with the band and Steve Perry, and another famous friend of E’s, Jon Hamm of Mad Men fame. All the celebrity types were super duper nice and were not offended by our existence in any way. Pictures were snapped.

Chet Lyster?
We ARE worthy. <— New FF motto
Glad y’all had a good time and thanks for the report!
Hopefully, you remained on your feet and no drinks were spilled. 😮
Yes Mr. Stoger, The Chet is in the band and played acoustic and electric guitars and pedal steel. We chatted with him after the show and he was most pleasant. Lafayette, everyone stayed upright and all drinks remained containerized.
I plan to recommit to my famed “no more shows on a weeknight rule” which has become more like the exception. Wish me luck. 😆
