1994 - Frank Black - The Coach House


Went with Ron.
We went to the Coach House quite a few times.
If you have never been there it is like a warehouse
in an industrial park.  It serves dinner and if you make a dinner
reservation you can sit closer to the stage.
Everyone sits at table and watches the show which
is on a smallish stage.  Sound is great, not the hollow weird sound
you would think since it is in a pre-fab industrial building.  
I couldn't find a specific set-list for this show but it was so
fun watching Frank Black at this time.  His backing band was great. 
He was touring for Teenager of the Year and
not only doing these solo shows but opening for The Ramones
and They Might Be Giants.  In the band at this time was
the brilliant Eric Drew Feldman and Lyle Workman.
Who knew then that Lyle Workman would go on the
make such great music and movie soundtracks as,
Get Him to The Greek, Super Bad and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
 I have been searching on the internet for a photo of Frank Black
staring at his pick.  Between songs Frank will tell you about the songs
or just talk and as he does this he will hold out his pick in
front of him and stare at it in the stage lights.
It became one of my favourite parts of the show,
waiting for him to do this!
I will keep looking for a picture of it. 
Someone out there must have taken one!
