Joey - check out the link in the first post of this thread. It says that the MC5 will be playing in San Diego, on Tuesday, July 13 at the Casbah. Of course, it might be worth it to drive up to see them the two times they play in the L.A. area too.

As to the vocalist controversy, I will say that Mark Arm is definitely the better singer than Evan Dando - both his voice and the theatrics of his arm movements are much better. Perhaps Dando was a bit gun-shy after his NY reception? One person I talked to at the show was quite ecstatic after hearing Wayne Kramer sing one song, saying it was amazing to finally hear the same voice singing the song live in front of him after hearing it on headphones for the first times as a teenager 25 years ago.

Much of the audience had a similar attitude - they simply were bedazzled that they were finally hearing live a band they had given hopes of ever seeing perform.
