As crazy as this may sound, Belle and Sebastian not only played "The Boy With A Thorn In His Side" at their Saturday night concert (9/8/01 @ The Warfield, San Francisco), but I was fortunate enough to be picked out of the crowd to join the band on stage and help Stuart Murdoch with the words and singing. It was a definite highlight of my life, so if there's anyone out there who attended the show and made (or know of) a bootleg, i would give really love to get a copy! thanks! --- Bill also writes: ...During the audience request period they couldnt really decide on anything so the guitar player (name escapes me) decided to go with 'The Boy With The Thorn In His Side.' Unfortunately, Stuart Murdoch had no idea what the lyrics were so they pulled up one lucky fan to whisper the lyrics into his ear during the song. The band played the song alright but things broke down when Stuart started butchering the song because he couldnt keep up with the fan, who ended up singing all by himself (and not badly at all, I must say). Another funny instance occurred during the end of the show when Isobel Campbell was talking to the audience. She was saying something like 'its weird because I feel like such a Scot but (gesturing to the crowd) you like Morrissey? Really?' I thought it was pretty hilarious because you'd figure at least half the audience there were huge Smiths/Moz fans, but anyway... that's about it. awesome show with a little something extra for the Moz fanatics.

I know I was extremely lucky to have seen them as both shows were sold-out. And it would've been nice to see them do Sly's "Family Affair" - I grew up hearing that song on the radio! And, sorry I did not "catch your act", Brian!
P.S. I would also like to get a hold of a bootleg recording of Saturday's show!!!

Brian, you did a great job up there. I made it on stage a couple days before at the 2nd LA show to sing "Take me out to the Ball game". I know how exciting and exhilarating it was!

Thanks tina... after all, you're responsible for all of this! I saw you do your thing at the LA show and you were excellent! Me and my friends were just glowing when you were up there. Right on! Maybe we can sing a duet of "Lazy Line Painter Jane" at the next Moz show (hehe).
xo, Brian Young
