 Greg et al -

I can attest that this must have been true at many of those shows in 1988! It 
sure happened at the Palladium in Hollywood! My friend Heather and I got 
there kind of late, and we must have missed the whole Peter Murphy show, 
because we walked into the Palladium and it seemed like EVERYONE was leaving. 
Mass exodus! We TOTALLY thought "Oh my god, did we miss the Church? Did they 
somehow play first and we got it backwards?" We actually ASKED someone if we 
missed The Church. That guy must have thought we were nuts! It was great 
though because we got to stand RIGHT UP FRONT on Peter's side and had a 
lovely view of the whole evening.

BTW I got my copy of AENT from Whammo last Saturday. I've been listening to 
it a LOT. I'll have to share my wonderful insights later...suffice it to say 
I really like it, although I do wish Steve would refrain from making 
druggy-voiced comments like "Hey man" and "Allll right." It just makes me 
cringe! The Awful Ache is indeed unbelievably beautiful. I am really looking 
forward to seeing them in April, which is odd, because for a while there I 
didn't really care at all. (shocked gasps are heard throughout the list)
