Re: (TV) Alex Chilton

[Maurice Rickard <maurice@mac.com>]

Speaking of Alex Chilton, he was in fine form last night, pulling 
from the history of rock 'n' roll (doing an Ernie K-Doe tune), lounge 
("Volari"), R&B ("Precious, Precious"), some unexpected covers 
(Michael Jackson's "Rock with You"--I'm not kidding), and fine 
versions of "In the Street" and "When My Baby's Beside Me."  Quite an 
inventive guitarist, and his voice is in great shape, too.  He was, 
apparently, in a good mood, and it was indeed a fine evening.

There were shouts for "O My Soul," which Alex ignored.  (Full 
disclosure: while I didn't shout out any Big Star requests, at one 
point my wife and I shouted a request for "Tea for Two," because it 
seemed as though it would fit.  He didn't play it, though.)

Highly recommended.
