[...] her share of flack on this tour, judging from previous online reviews such as my Popdose colleague Darren Robbinsâ€™ treatise on the Chicago stop. It seems clear that Naess has worked out the kinks and gained some confidence [...]

*groans* I remember seeing Leona Naess back in the early 00s when whatever single she had on MTV2 was big and she was dating Ryan Adams. I don't know if she was drunk or high, but something was way off about her. The performance seemed like a big joke to her, to the point where she screwed up a song and had to start over again. I'm pretty sure I had the same reaction as the bassist at the show you attended.

Fall 1986 flashback: I attended the reopening-night performance of Bill Cosby at the Chicago Theater, when it was smashingly restored to its former glory. Prior to that it was a semi-safe moviehouse in prime grindhouse territory, where management kept the lights on halfway just in case gang wars erupted. I think the last movie I saw there was 1985's Brewster's Millions, after which it closed for a year for its facelift.
