The Icon, Buffalo
Tonight will be notable for being the smallest audience Aqualung has ever played to as a headlining act. The Sabres, it seems, are in the playoffs tonight, and Buffalo is like a ghost town.
The gig was fine, and of course we were very grateful to the those hockey-indifferent Buffalonians who came along. There is still a huge difference between playing to a small number of people who have come to hear you, and inflicting yourself on a pitiful crowd who hate you, which is a characteristic of being in a new band. It was quite nostalgic.
Jim: "It was like forest floor, a hint of barnyard; some leather notes, and a long, cedary finish. It was served a little too cold but it opened up nicely in the glass." (Volnay Premier Cru Nicolas Potel 1999)
