Our show began with Courtney walking out in a long pink sparkle skirt with matching bikini top, pink angel wings, and smoking a cigarette. Melissa had a little tee on with a short skirt, Eric and Sam looked awesome too. There was a lot of talk between Love and the crowd, she seemed to be enjoying herself. Courtney pulled several girls on stage and one guy (who I was with) that she kissed and told him he was cute! The next outfit Love had on was black short shorts and a black lingerie looking top. During one song, Courtney walked over to one of the girls on stage, took her top off, letting everyone see her breasts, and traded shirts with the girl. The set list isn't in order: Violets, Awful, POTI, Miss World, Boys On The Radio, CS, Malibu, She Walks Over Me, Dying, Playing Your Song, Heaven Tonight, "Valerie Loves Me" by Material Issue, one verse of "All Tomorrows Parties" by Velvet Underground, and last song was some verses of Good Sister/Bad Sister. In the end, Love gave her black and white guitar with the little red heart to some girl. This show was fucking great and a lot of fun.

i didn't get there til after imperial teen played so i can't say anything about them. hole came out at about 9:30 to the beginning of credit in the straight world, like i think they have been at other concerts. the first song courtney did was violet, then awful, and after that i'm not sure of the order, but i'll try to list them all later. courtney had on a long glittery fuschia skirt and a paler pink triangle bikini top and she looked really good! melissa had on a short black skirt and a white tee shirt that said something about rocknroll on it, sam had on tight black pants and a plain white tee shirt and her hair was all spiky, and eric had on this long sleeved light and dark gray tee shirt and black, kind of glittery pants. courtney talked a lot--she kind of made fun of cleveland because i guess it was one of the only two places that didn't sell out for their show--she said something about how a dixie chicks show would probably sell out and how we probably like the WWF, all in a kind of twangy voice, which was kind of funny... she said how she hasn't been to cleveland for five years, when she was there last she passed out on the stage, how she was messed up back then and she said something about heroin (i think!) and then said something like "don't make me a role model". she also asked us if we remember when she fucked trent reznor and some stuff about that, and she also talked about how her ex-husband, "not the one we thought" (the first guy she was married to for like, 1 day) was in town that night too. she said she married him as a joke, etc, then said "why am i talking about this you guys don't care anyways". she alluded to kurt but of course never said his name. but it was just like she was rambling on up there on stage! courtney said something about how her and eric used to date and that made eric kind of turn around and it looked like he was going to walk off stage. she mentioned more than once how cute the cleveland guys were and she also called us all little shits before she started one song! okay, that's all i remember for now. i just thought that overall she was really talkative and kind of on edge last night with her calling us shits and telling us to shutup a lot.

here's a list, in no particular order, of the songs they did:
violet
awful
malibu
reasons to be beautiful
dying (this is when all the silver glittery things fell on the audience)
boys on the radio
playing your song
heaven tonight
miss world
doll parts
pretty on the inside
then there was this time she just kept singing this thing where she said something about "the biggest dick you've ever had" over and over???

encore: (courtney came back out in really short black (leather?) shorts and a black vest-type thing that had silver things on it)
northern star
some cover that was REALLY good but i don't know what song it was - maybe someone else who was there knows?
she walks on me (she asked us if we wanted a nice pop song or a punk rock song and everyone screamed punk and she's like, i want punk too!)
celebrity skin there had to have been more songs they played but i can't remember them! oh! during the encore, she went to one of the girls sitting on stage (there were like 30 people, mostly girls, pulled up on stage--i was so envious! i was one person away from being right up front--i was standing right in front of eric, who looked up maybe 3 times during the whole concert!) anyways, she gestured for one of the girls to take off one of her tank tops, and she did, then courtney ripped off her black vest thingie (flashing those girls in the process--everyone in the audience was screaming!) and put on that girl's gray top. it was cool! let's see, she did NOT give away her guitar this time, but melissa (like usual?) threw her guitar pics into the audience at the end. oh yeah, when this one girl got pulled on stage, she ran over to courtney and started dancing behind her (courtney was kneeling down singing) and at first courtney looked mad but i don't think she really was. the girl then went to go sit down and courtney grabbed her leg and stood up and danced with her, then courtney turned around and like slow danced with this girl! um, (sorry i just keep remembering all this stuff and maybe some of you guys want to know this!) courtney said how sam's the best drummer in the usa and we all cheered and then sam came up the the mike and said "i couldn't hear that" so we all cheered really loud. when she was going back to her drums eric smiled at her, which is the only time i noticed him smile all night. during one song a few girls beside me were screaming "eric!" and he kind of smiled then, too, then got up on one of the small speakers and played for a little bit. melissa said how her first show (or one of her first shows?) with hole was in cleveland. she said more than once how friendly and welcoming cleveland was!

that's all i can think of for now and i'll just end this by saying that i was totally entertained and entranced the whole time...courtney, melissa, sam and eric totally had us under their spell and i couldn't think of anything else the whole time--they were absolutely amazing!!! courtney doesn't just get up there and sing great songs--she involves the audience and gets everyone into it. she can change from being totally sweet one minute to being totally bitchy the next and you just can't stop staring at her she's so fascinating. so anyways, that's my review for the hole show in cleveland...
