Again spent all day with Mike in Sandusky trying to get this bean field done so he can go. Things went quite smoothly, so he went! We picked Brenda up and then Henry and got to the Masonic before the Stripes went on, but not early enough to get a poster!!! I later found out that only a total of 192 posters were made for the whole weekend!! We went and sat down (fourth row towards center right) and the lights went down, but instead of Jack and Meg coming out, we got introduced to a band called the Muldoons; two kids (literally!) on guitar and their dad (Brian Muldoon of a few Detroit bands and good friend of Jacks) on drums. They were rock/punk and too cute for words...the songs were originals and catchy! Jack and Meg came out a little while after they were done; he in a black cowboy cowboy shirt and pants...she was in black and white?? I can't remember!! The set was pretty good..."normal" but then there were a few suprise treats for us that came for the 3rd show. The BEST live version of "Death Letter" that I have Ever seen/heard; plus he sang "Grinnin' in your Face" in the middle!! Got to hear Black Jack Davey; made Mike VERY happy. An unknown song (cover?, new? who knows) and "Walking with a Ghost", which is a cover from a band called Teagan and Sara...very rockin'. Would have been a number one smash in about 1987. I love it!!! After the break they sang "Little Ghost" just staring at each other and could't keep from laughing at each other by the end of it. He sang an extra line about "blue moon kentucky", which made Meg laugh even harder. It's so fun to watch them interact with each other; they definitely have mutual respect and love for each other. We got "Boll Weevil" at the end. Another good show...
So when they walked off, I told Mike we had to go get the record player (the inchophone should have its own post)! So we ran to the merch booth and I got to the front of the line and there were no more inchophones out on display or piled anywhere like they had been before!! I was so bummed. I didn't see anything else I wanted, so I asked if there were more inchophones and the girl was like, "actually, I think there is one more". Sure enough, she went to some far corner and there was one. And it was MINE!! It came with 6 records for $100 and the "Top Special" record (available ONLY on 3" record) was seperate for $30. I knew that the band had made this for the fans in a ridiculously limited number (400!!) and it ain't cheap to get custom 3" records pressed in such a tiny number. The cost didn't really phase me. I was just excited that I was lucky enough (on many levels) to get one.
