This is insane. In 1997 the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion came out to Melbourne Australia and played some shows. On a hot friday night at the Prince of Wales Hotel they played a show that froze everyones blood. It was religious.
Then they went to the bar and drank with the regulars/lurkers (us) until about 3am.
The next morning they went to a local TV show and performed live. They could not have had more than 4 hours sleep, if they slept at all.
The Blues really is number one. Thats why we’re in New York.
