Just returned from show in Wichita. Weather was miserable: snow and ice, very cold. Venue was small (1500 SRO, no seats). The first sign of the trouble to come was that the entire lighting rig over the stage was missing, hence no banners, no snowflakes. Show started off with much enthusiasm from the boys in the band. Marilyn's (genuine) smile from Fort Worth had been replaced with an evil glare. Matters came to a head when MM took a direct shot to the side of the face from a shoe hurled from someone in the crowd. MM announces "We don't play any more songs until the mf" who threw the shoe identifies himself. When some kid raised his hand, MM told the crowd around him to "beat the shit out of him."
Anyway, due (I assume) to the absence of the stage props, the show was cut way short (no cryptorchid, costume change, podium or ACS..or Man that you fear).
Last two songs (BP & IHA) both end with MM destroying the drum kit. Lights went up after about 53 minutes. MM was lucky that Kansans are sedate by nature, with another crowd it could have been ugly. General consensus among fans was that the band looked "tired". MM's voice went south after about 30 minutes. Very hoarse. Very interesting to watch but hardly the way to impress newbies!

By comparison, Fort Worth Show went off without a hitch: large venue, good crowd and a complete show. Amazing! Hope to see the band when they arrive here in Oklahoma City.
