What to expect was the question on many people's minds before Matthew Sweet took the stage for his The Edge 102 radio station-sponsored show at Lee's Palace. You see, the show was a promotion and the only way to get in was to call and receive tickets from the radio station, meaning not every one in attendance would necessarily be a Sweet fan.

"How long is he going to play?" and "What tunes will he do?" were just some of the questions being bandied about at the venue, but at 11:30 p.m., Matthew Sweet came out and answered all. For the rest of Alex Ristic's Matthew Sweet review.
