Luzern

davidcotyalex · 07-20-2007, 09:32 PM

First - I can't find the frickin exclamation point on these German computers so have lost some effect....

Second - to anyone who hasn't been to Luzern it is absolutely unbelieveably beautiful - we went to the top of Mount Pilatus today and could see into Germany - unreal.

There were two cameras floating around the show tonight - dvd????

The first fifteen rows were half vacant - more to come......

Set list and notes:

Amie (acoustic)>spaceship
The Professor(acoustic)>La Fille Danse
9 Crimes - piano (vyv/joel)
Volcano
Older Chests (unplugged w/Vyv)
Grey Room

Lawnmower story - autumn - spring - relationships (put away and forget to "oil" it and care for it to pass through the winter of a relationship- song about a # of damaged lawnmowers!

Coconut Skins>
Woman Like a Man
Accidental Babies (piano - awesome with the acoustics)

Story - after abusing the front row empty seats (was great and all us in the balcony screaming) - song about feeling distant until you realize u have lost it and your attention focuses on the physical pain until you realize all in front of you is truly awesome.

Eskimo
Blowers Daughter
I Remember >Bang Bang (used accoustics to almost dead (silent - best I have heard yet of any recording - there was this gal in front of us that was a poster child of drugs gone bad on bad emotions - she was totally balling and hysterical the whole
show and then left - and then the freak called her boyfriend at the very most silent moment of bang bang - brutal!!!)

Encore

Prior to the encore the Blue balls spokesman came out and WAS TOTALLY BOO'D by the crowd for the bull**** seating - was AWESOME (lack of exclamation point really hurting).

Cannonball (acoustic unplugged)

They frickin cut short the encore as the festival was overtime - total assholes.

PS. Shane was great with Blair - you could tell the whole show he was leading him.

Over and out - snagged third row center for David Gray tomorrow - PSYCHE (exclamation point).

I don't think the cameras were from Damo's crew. They were probably filming some footage for some Blue Balls festival highlight shows or something on Swiss TV. But that's only my impression. I just thought that Damo seemed to be slightly bothered by the cameras at the beginning. I don't know.

The beginning in general was a little bit weird, I thought. He seemed very tired and his voice sounded a little bit hoarse. But after a couple of songs it got better and I really enjoyed it. Woman Like a Man rocked as hell! I finally got to hear "Accidental Babies" live which made me shed some tears. And I'm not really a big fan of the song to be honest. At least not the album version. Eskimo was amazing as well, and the rest... well, let's just say that I can't wait to see him in Stuttgart on Tuesday.

And by the way: I have never ever heard a crowd shouting so loudly for an encore. It was awesome. And this stupid organiser guy was a complete idiot.

Agreed on the beginning - honestly I was worried about this gig as it was his fourth in four nights (but he really doesn't tour enough - oh yeah that was a different thread

). Yes I totally agree on Accidental Babies - and while he didn't play any unreleased stuff I thought the show was great with damo really settling in and obviously in a good mood. I am still amazed at the acoustics of kkl - and I remember/bang bang was absolutely stunning. Can't wait for david gray tonight......

I am still pissed off today about all the empty seats - and they are saying in our hotel this will be the last blue balls festival - if that idiot last night is any representation then that makes total sense.
