She&#8217;s been to see Peter four times before this, so after he closed his main set with &#8216;Roll Call&#8217;, she told us that he only ever does one encore. Well, not only did he do one encore, he then proceded to do a second &#8212; and then a third! The third was completely mindblowing, too &#8212; an absolutely <em>gorgeous<\/em> cover of David Bowie&#8217;s &#8216;Space Oddity&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Altogether, an absolutely incredible show. Too, too cool. Afterwards, Pleasure was kind enough to give me a ride home, and we hung out for a while until she had to pick up her friends and head home&#8230;at which point I hit the bed and passed out.<\/p>\n<p>Peeeeeeeetaaaahhhhhhh!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got to go to another concert last night &#8212; Peter Murphy!
