Yep! Then I saw them again a few years ago when they played a show at a park in Baltimore. I won't lie, it was enjoyable (if only because a band I grew up loving was playing at a park in my town) but me and my group of late-30's/early-40's friends couldn't help but laugh at Perry's "stage banter".
It was either the most rehearsed and corny thing I'd ever heard or a brilliant troll. Lines like:
"Hello Baltimore! My tailor's from Baltimore...she keeps me looking good in all my nice clothes...yeah...love my tailor...but back when I was younger, I didn't buy my clothes...I just stole 'em..." (opening riff to "Been Caught Stealing")
Every few songs there was another rambling, tangential "story" that was clearly planned out as the way to introduce the next tune. They still played and sang great, but it was a far cry from the shows I listened to on dubbed tapes as a high school kid in the early 90's.
