Better Than Ezra is on a big tour across the US. It started in July of 2001 and it looks like it's going to end sometime in August of 2002. That's a lot of rockin'.

I got the pleasure of seeing them at Slater Center at Purdue. The show was all ages and was free to anyone. The opening band was called Forever Texas and wasn't too bad at all. The night for the show as very nice. It wasn't too hot and it wasn't too cold. And there was a slight breeze. Almost perfect conditions for me.

After reading the previous BTE nodes, I came to realize that the theatrics stayed the same for other shows. Someone was chosen from the crowd to play the song This Time Of Year and also covers of songs such as Don't Fear The Reaper were mixed in with other songs of theirs. Of course at the time it didn't occur to me that these were normal things. It was really just a lot of fun, any way.

A lot of people left after the band played Desperately Wanting and they started getting off the stage. But of course, they came back with an encore. Which rocked everybody's socks off :)

In my opinion, Better Than Ezra is a great band to see in concert, if you can. The show is just all together fun. And if you're lucky and are close to the stage, you can probably snag a football or T-Shirt thrown into the crowd.

I like it!
