Thanks for clearing up what your wife was saying. I get a kick out of it each time. My wife listened to it today and she immediately knew that your wife had said “dean”. It started to make sense then. Again it cracks me up.

Actually it was broadcast on their myspace and on deanandbritta.com that it would be a Galaxy 500 set.

Galaxy 500 songs are “a bit weird”? Uh no…try again.

That female squawker is my wife.

She is loudly saying “I didn’t come to watch the Dean show!”, which, if you listen again, was preceded with “Let’s hear Britta!”. My wife, you see, is a Dean AND Britta fan with little knowledge of Galaxy 500. She was irked that she would go to a Dean and Britta show and have to listen to Dean hijack the show with a bunch of weird songs (and you have to admit that they are a bit weird) that she hadn’t heard. I attempted to bring my wife up to speed, but she wasn’t having it.

I, on the other hand, had my fist in my mouth in glee going “I can’t believe this is happening!” As far as I know this Galaxy 500 set was totally unannounced and not until Dean responded to a Luna request as “being off topic”, did it sink in.

How funny is the comment by the female fan at the end of Victory Garden? What is she saying, “she didn’t come to see the B show?” Is she ragging on her neighbor for singing along or something? Too funny.

Thanks for posting the show. I’ve always regretted never seeing Galaxie play live.
