Glen's new album Didn't He Ramble
Stream:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/wha...-album-stream/ or http://www.npr.org/2015/09/09/438902...idnt-he-ramble I haven't listened yet. (I keep telling myself that it's because I didn't have the time, but I know that's a poor excuse 'cause I could be listening right now. I guess I'm just preoccupied with a couple of other new songs at the moment. Also I'm a bit scared I won't like the new album as much as the previous) |
it's a nice album. I only listened to the stream once, though
Here's a gig he did for KCRW http://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/morn...ard-2015-09-16 He talked about Damien and their friendship during the interview, at around min 37 he also mentioned Lisa before introducing Her Mercy at 1h9m |
Thanks Eva! I'll listen/watch tonight.
(And maybe the album stream after that :) ) |

The video is 1h29m long. |
thanks girls! i listened to it a couple of times and it´s growing on me. mccormack´s wall and my little ruin are my favourite so far. her mercy is just so powerful live that it seems to be quite weak on the album, but still lovely.
i´m so looking forward to catching him live again... fingers crossed! |
The video was great! Thanks Eva! I know a couple people went to his show on Wednesday night. How was it? Were there many people there? Any reviews?

Glen Hansard and band have played Admiralspalast, Berlin, last night, and I was there. Openers were The Lost Brothers from Ireland and to be honest, I didn't know what they were doing there. So straight to the main act...
Glen and band opened with "Bird of Sorrow", so calm, so powerful, such a rush of raw human emotion ("with the faithful"!), followed by Philander. Two of my favourites from his solo streak. Great! He and the band (bass, drums, electric guitar, cello, violin, piano, brass trio) were in great form and gave us a long evening. He wasn't too chatty though, didn't talk to us at all until the 5th song. It felt like he is focused on the music, these days, and on his legacy in music. Here is the setlist: Bird Of Sorrow Philander Just To Be The One Winning Streak Little Ruin When Your Mind's Made Up White Sulfur (Jason Molina Cover) What Happens When The Heart Just Astral Weeks Come Away To The Water Paying My Way High Hope McCormack's Wall Lowly Deserter This Gift Her Mercy Stay The Road Say It To Me Now (unplugged) Gold (unplugged) Encore: Falling Slowly How Did We Forget? (Sung By Ruth O'Mahony, El Perro Del Mar Cover) Love Don't Leave Me Waiting Didn't He Ramble Corrina Corrina (Sung By The Lost Brothers, Ray Peterson Cover) The Auld Triangle Encore 2: Passing Through Videos will probably pop up today and tomorrow. Here is "Her Mercy": https://youtu.be/Nr5jgkGwwFA |
Very cool, thanks. Gonna see him tonight in Leipzig and feel my appetite thoroughly whetted. :-)

Ryan le Garrec did an interview and filmed some lovely little fragments when Glen was in Brussels. https://vimeo.com/141538722

Thanks, Carroline! Nice find! Gotta embrace hangovers as artistic possibilities, it seems. :-)
|
:)
How was the gig in Leipzig, Matt? |
It's ok.

It was great! Probably quite similar to the Berlin concert from what you've written. They played the first five songs without any ado in between. Then Glen got chattier and he and the band seemed to enjoy themselves as much as the rest of the packed room. He kept inviting us to sing little parts along, as seems to be his habit, and we also got The Aulde Triangle and Passing through as encores (amongst others, like his unplugged Say it to now, which remains impressive even the third time I've seen it live). No real surprises, I guess, except for a couple of requested Frames tunes, but I had a blast nonetheless since he's such a presence on stage and it all seems very natural. Plus, I just love his brass section. :-)

Here's a picture Glen with Craig Walker, jamming together after the show in Berlin ! . http://i61.tinypic.com/qzrmh5.jpg |
Saw Glen Saturday. Semi private radio station show at this cool little theatre on the south side of Chicago. First 75% was excellent. All the new songs sounded way better live. Horn section added to old songs was also very cool.
Last 25% was brutal. No fault of Glen's. The crowd was so disrespectful. Glen sang a couple of Jason Molina songs and lost one side of the theatre near the bar. They were turned around and talking. Pretty loudly. Glen yelled at them to leave if the wanted to talk. That maybe the songs didn't mean anything to them but they meant something to him. And then walked off stage finishing about 30-45 minutes early. Bummer. |
Arseholes.

The line up is pretty neat this year. Keaton Henson & Low are playing as well. I just hope they're streaming the whole thing again :) |
nice! if only i could go...
i can´t complain actually, it´s less than a month to vicar st. :D |
Has anyone seen Glen in the past few days? Just curious as to what time he takes the stage. We'll be at the Beacon show, but a friend won't be able to get there on time.

Don't miss these Glen shows!
Hello everyone, it's been awhile :)
To the person asking about timing, my recent Glen show was: Doors: 7:00 Support: 8:00 Glen: 9:15 - 11:30 I'd say figure 2 hrs after doors and you're probably good, but best to call venue box office day of show to be sure. I've been seeing Glen in various musical forms for a very long time... the show I saw on this Didn't He Ramble tour was one of the very best! I wanted to dance, sing, cry, Holla amen, laugh and just revel all night. I know there's only the 2 NYC shows left in the US, but if you're able to go to Brooklyn tonight (not sold out) you MUST GO! Sooooooooo worth it! |

Wish I could get out to Brooklyn tonight, but it's just not in the cards for me. |
That's why I said start with doors time and maybe add 2 hrs - maybe doors are 6:30 for tomorrow night? Best bet always is to call the Beacon's box office tomorrow. By about 2:00 they should know the schedule, if they don't already.
I was at that '04 Damo/Frames show, that was wonderful! I probably didn't realize there was a strict curfew... but I remember a great show :) |
How brilliant is that video? :) |
How was the Beacon?
Hi there, for those of you who went to the Beacon Glen Hansard show, how was it?
