John Cale
I really had a bad reputation for not doing the same things twice, and really with a vengeance. People would be like, “is that song?” It’s nice now to get people to expect that. I think I’ve worn a groove there that you don’t know quite what it’s going to be. But for me, I can’t go on the road and do the same things all the time. Drives me nuts."

An unexpected bonus was when John and the band signed CDs and shook hands with fans after the show. Everything except Gravel Drive was very loud - in a good way. A great night.
