What an awesome show, started with Damien solo and took off from there.
Elephant was incredible, did cannonball unplugged again, after he went for a smoke, he gave us Lisa solo who did some song I never heard before but very good.
Woman like a man was great...did eskimo on his knees after explaining how he wrote the song...encore was accidental babies, which my wife had never heard before but brought tears to her eyes, followed by I remember, then cheers darling...for this song he brought the opening act(s) up, opened a bunch of bottles of wine and they all drank while they played this song.
All in all a great show, the only odd moment was when the NY crowd would not shut up during the opening of nine crimes, he kept playing the same note over and over again till they shut up, my opinion was Lisa was about to start so he wanted to quiet them down....i've lived in Ny all my life but they can be some rude bastards sometimes....anyway..there's my synopsis..wishing you all the best holiday season.

A good two night run. I thought they left some songs on the table that I would have liked to hear (Dogs, Cold Water, Prague) but it was a very solid and enjoyable two nights. The crowd, I thought was pretty good for the most part, given the circumstances and the reviews I've read on other crowds in this tour. They yelled hear and there but were cooperative during the songs for the most part. I LOVED Sand tonight. The two "rare'' or unreleased songs were the highlights of my two nights, Insane last night and Sand tonight. Met a lot of good people, some eskimofriends, some not as well, so cheers to you all and thanks for a great couple days.

Can someone post the setlist?? Thanks!

wmacson 12-14-2006 04:35 PM

I don't know the setlist off the top of my head(although it was pretty similar to the night before in terms of songs) but how about some blury pics from my cell phone camera? :) I'm pretty disapointed the last one of Lisa and Damien didn't turn out so well. I thought it was a pretty cool moment!

Born,
It was the "green your eyes" one. No Vyv solo song for either NY gig.

borneoman 12-17-2006 06:25 PM

Happy you get to hear Green Eyes live!!!! Someone should ask Lisa about the song!!! Can you post the setlist?

Spamlet 12-18-2006 03:42 AM

I don't have it, but Mario took it down (and Philly's amazing setlist). He also went to DC (I'm actually back home in Cleveland right now for the holidays) so he should have that one too.

I wish I could have gone to the Tower show as well but my friend was performing that night in NYC so I went to that instead...

On opening night, Swell Season finished their set with a song written "drunk on his back in a field in Ireland." Does anyone know what the name of the song was? Many thanks.

You're right - thanks. I guess it's a Frames song.

Still not a big fan of theirs but from what I've gathered on here over the years it's more like it's one of "THE" Frames songs. Damo's even covered it quite a few times in concert.
