Forgot to add that on Saturday at Coney High,
? and the Mysterians also played.

Strange...

They were, I quote a friend,
"a museum piece from the 1960s...
playing the same sort of music..."

? was wearing tight, gold lame pants,
held up by suspenders
(I swear he stuffed his crotch)
and a chest-baring bronze something.

He had his typical cowboy hat and sunglasses on.

Towards the end of their really long set
(from 12 to about 2:30 am)
they invited Alex Chilton join them on stage.

? didn't want none of that.
He stormed off the stage shortly after.
Alex was left to fumble around on stage,
upsetting a roadie by throwing off a stuffed panda
bear into the audience.

It was a strange performance...
