Well, it was definitely the WEIRDEST Pat concert I've ever been to.

First of all, I do like Club Paragon.  The service is not always the greatest, but the food is really good and the prices are reasonable, plus the sightlines are great from anywhere in the bar.  That being said...

Pat started out with songs I either haven't heard in awhile or haven't heard at all (so far, so good).  The whole second act was, like, "Pat, Live By Request" (also good!)  He made up lots of stuff on the spot, lots of extra Irish verses, a musical rendering of the Nextel, I mean Winston race poster on the wall behind him (which was really quite good), and a song honoring a gift he gave to a fan, "Tommy's Got a Condom", which was sort of a running gag throughout.  I especially enjoyed a new medley, "Songs in the Key of G", lots of my favorites were in there.

The Travelers from Madison were welcome, as always, proving to be the most devoted of Patheads; in fact they were pretty much the only ones who danced...

The weird part was, he probably did more talking and ad-libbing than I've ever seen at a show.  I'm not complaining, mind you, as we all know Pat is the King of Extemporaneous Performance.  He also forgot to pay homage to Pipe Jim, how odd is that?

Now, don't get me wrong, because Taco Bell has taught us that Different is Good.  Pat was great, and I had a blast, and I'm pretty sure I know the reason he was more jovial than usual, (as I'm sure any true Pathead can figure out).  He was hysterical , but different, and  I am left wondering...was the fact that he was thinking about Doritoes mean what I think it meant?  (And I mean that in a most loving and appreciative way...)

Anyway, Pat is amazing and it was a great show!!!

Hope to catch lots of you at Shank Hall Friday!

It was definitely a goofy show!  Gotta love Pat when he gets in those moods though when he's just laughing at himself the entire night!  It wasn't ONLY the Madisonians that were up there dancing, it was Madisonians and their friend Erin! And I gotta say, as Miche and I found out, Pat's got quite the ass!  Looking forward to the show at Shank on Friday!!!

Paragon has always been a great place to see a show.  Subdued Sunday crowd who are more interested in seeing a good Pat show than getting drunk.

I especially enjoyed a new medley, "Songs in the Key of G", lots of my favorites were in there.

Sorry, although Key of G is not often played, it's an old song.

::)Well, my bad.

I was gonna say the same thing. It pre-dates Tribute to the Beatles, Tribute to the 90's and possibly even Tribute to the 80's.

One of my favorite bits, which I haven't seen in a long time is "The history of Rock and roll", which is all the tributes thrown together plus additional bonus stuff. Tribute to the 30's. Now there's your classic hits, baby!!

What, cop a cheap feel?? Who would do that???

I do have to say that Pat was on fire... that's for sure.  And I didnt actually expect him to write on that poster, it was hysterical!!!

Definitely looking foward to Friday, and tearin up the town with Erin,

Heh, after the fire at the Annex a few years back Pat was forced to play in the front bar (the drum riser from the annex was brought out for an impromptu stage and put about where the jukebox is on that wall.)

One night in a severe fit of boredom he stood up next to the wall and made a comment how they should make chalk outlines of him on the wall.

For some reason (which I won't go into here) I had a box of sidewalk chalk in my car.  So I got it and we did chalk outlines of Pat and Pipe on the wall of the Retreat.

That's what I call... amusing. =P

HAHA! I remember that!! That outline isn't still there is it? I don't recall. And it's been a year since I've been to the Retreat!

Sidewalk chalk is something you'd expect a teacher/monkey sitter like me to have in my car, not a computer genious like yourself!   (But we won't ask!)

Maybe Greg likes to be able to tell where he left the bodies!
