Camden Show

aballadinplainh · 07-29-2006, 04:09 AM

There was a full range of emotions displayed at tonights brief set. Beauty and anger and dispair and everything. I cannot wait for the new album to come out. From the chorus of Rootless Tree being "**** you, **** you," to the outro to Blower's pt. 2 where you couldn't understand what he was saying, but could feel the anguish in his voice. The crowd was a little rude at first during the more intense songs... i even heard one fan shush a woman who was talking too much. But eventually the crowd understood... at the end of cold water there was a short moment of silence before the applause kicked in. At the end of the set there was an enthusiastic standing ovation and many left because they only came to see Damien. Such a good show for such a short set. For songs i didn't know i just put a lyric in...

Then Go
I Remember (just the second part)
Delicate
"I only wanted to be wanted by you"
Me, My Yoke and I
Cold Water
"is that all right if i give my God away"
Cannonball
Rootless Tree
Blower's 2
Blower's

Boy had it been a long time inbetween shows for me. Glad to see a full band show in Camden last night. Great but short set with the stage manager blinking a flashlight at Damian after BD to end it.

I told two ladies behind my seat to please be quite also and it was fun to see so many leave as soon as the lights went up

All I wanted to hear was Nine Crimes, so I was happy. I haven't seen Damien and co. since 04 so this was a very anticipated show. Rootless Tree was unreal. Great show all around.

what a show last night. i was 4th row, all the way to the right..definately the closest i've ever been. Some of the highlights were starting the set with Then Go and going directly into the second part of I Remember. killer transistion. Nine Crimes was probably my favorite of the night, although blowers 2 was incredible as well. It was good to see Delicate, but Lisa didn't sing at all during it...I guess they had to do the shortened version. I'd never heard Rootless Tree before and I thought the verses especially were fantastic. And which song did he add the little trumpet noises to at the end? good touch.

*I would also like to note here a little something about Fiona. Now, I'll admit that I was defending her while some people were bashing her, but I take that back. She has totally lost it, mentally. I'm pretty sure she is on some sort of drug, like..the bad kind of drugs. She would be singing beautifully, then start screaming the chorus and twitching out really bad. It was if she was trying to ruin her own songs. so very very strange. I almost left, but she calmed down a little bit towards the end. I've really never seen anything like it.

can't wait for a full headline tour.

cheers

What a treat last night was -- I was fully anticipating pretty much the same setlist I saw on Wednesday night at Summerstage, and was so surprised when they opened with Then Go....

Amazing performance, I do miss Damo's stories and banter, but with only an hour to play, I want to hear as many songs as possible. Hoping that they soon return to the States for a tour of their own.

I SO want to go to Atlantic City tonight.....

oops, although i kinda like god better than gun...

i was at this show too - LOVED it. fiona is crazy i've seen her before & call myself a fan, but the Camden show was not her usual thing. it was like watching a car wreck. she sucked. last night in atlantic city i was bracing myself for the worst again, but she came out on top and gave a flawless performance. wonder what happened in camden that made her lose her marbles?
