11.18.06, Hiro Ballroom

jwelsh8 · 11-17-2006, 05:00 AM

11.16.06
Hiro Ballroom, New York, New York

One Set:
Grey Room, Cannonball, Me My Yoke and I, Woman Like a Man, Sand, new song, Delicate, 9 Crimes, Dogs, Rootless Tree, The Animals Were Gone, Cheers Darlin'

Encore:
Random Man On the Motorway, unknown song, Elephant, Volcano, Blower's Daughter

Notes:
- the new song may have been composed on the spot, using words that the crowd yelled out (red, nose, happy)
- Damien was on the Rhodes for 9 Crimes and Rootless Tree
- Lisa was on guitar for Animals and Volcano (I believe) and Rhodes for Dogs
- Random Man was sung by Vyv, backed up by Lisa
- the unknown song was sung by Lisa
- the last four songs were chosen by Tomo, Shane, Lisa, and Vyv, respectively; Damien asked Vyv to tell the Cheers Darlin' story and had her sing the first part of the song as she downed wine

First time I've traveled over big water masses to see such an amazing show.
Completely blown away.
I don't keep set lists. I only know that what I witnessed tonight was a rarity.
Will write more when I make it to a proper computer.

Thank you band, thank you Hiro, thank you everyone there.

(forgive the spelling and whatever else- I'm very high from this gig).

murphusa · 11-17-2006, 05:20 AM

Drove in from Philly (great ride no traffic) for the show and it was well worth it. Met up with Spamlet (Doug) and found out for him that tickets were available at the door at $30.00, he was a happy young man. Great show, new songs and old a good mix, fun show.

Nic Harcourt KCRW in from California sat next to us

Next show for us is Upper Darby, only a 5 minute drive

thomasnYc · 11-17-2006, 05:22 AM

I was at this Hiro show too, and completely dazzled. If anyone has any part of this show recorded or some decent photos I would love to have them to help remember this show.

did you ask him why he messed up the ending to accidental babies last week?

kkraft · 11-17-2006, 01:49 PM

i think last night was the most amazing musical night of my life. i was blown away by the show! i've never been to the hiro before, but i would go see any show there, it's really a cool place - such an intimate atmosphere. Vyv was really funny last night, i enjoyed her rendition of the cheers darlin story

That's exactly what i would have asked if i had been there. Somebody should slap him for that!

dylanfan · 11-17-2006, 02:23 PM

what a night! amazing show.

jwelsh8 · 11-17-2006, 03:22 PM

KKraft, were you sitting next to a guy taking notes in a little black book?

I have no words either. The whole thing is still surreal. Such an intimate and amazing show. To sit four or five fet from Damien while he's on a tiny stage and just take it all in -- I can't even begin to describe it. I met some fans. I took A LOT of pictures. and tried some video with my camera. I am flying back to Miami tonight and will work on getting pics and video up soon. I promise to post here again when I have good pics and if the vid is good. Please bear with me. I took 150 pictures. Yes, 150. I have to sort and edit and all that.

And to the people I met who might be here, I have your emails and will be in touch about the pics as well.

It was a wonderful night. Thank you Damo, venue, everyone. May you all get to experience something like this. It was...amazing. (i know i keep saying that).

Oh and that song about red and nose and happy was from crowd suggestions for words for a "new" song so yeah, it was spontaneity and he just made it up as he went along (that's my take anyway). runny nose, reddened room, eyes make him happy...something like that.

Cheers,
gisele (soitisgirl)

jwelsh8 · 11-17-2006, 03:45 PM

Gisele, I think you were right in front of us. I took a number of photos as well, but I am not sure I was able to capture as much color and lightas you were able to with your camera. I will look through my photos sometime this weekend and see if I can play with the levels at all.

kkraft · 11-17-2006, 04:23 PM

jwelsh - i was going to ask if that was you...i figured since you posted the set list i must have been sitting by you. that was me, and gisele was the one in front of us....nice meeting you both, what a kick ass show! I can't wait to see both of your pictures!

dylanfan · 11-17-2006, 06:50 PM

couldn't believe he went with happy when i called it out. was funny though "i dont do happy"

I'm not sure if people understand that Nic HAD to talk over the song. On Air people are required by law to at least give the station number at call letters once an hour, and they usually do it between minutes 56 and 59 of the hour. Damien was running long and Nic's show is over at noon. there's another show on afterwards. Not really his fault.

Sounds like a great show. I yelled out Sand in LA. I'm glad y'all got to hear it

I know Nic and I also manage 2 artist who I would like Nic to play on his show sometime in the near feature, So for me to ask him your question would have been pretty lame on my part

soitisgirl · 11-20-2006, 01:10 PM

Here are some video links from Damien's performance at Hiro.

They're on YouTube. I had to compress them and change format, and they're a little dark and not the best focus, but anyway, I hope they at least capture part of the show experience.
Hope you enjoy.

(plus: I hope to have lots of pictures sometime this week.)

The links work. Hope they appear ok below.

Damien Rice, Hiro, NYC, 16 Nov 2006

"Sand" (complete performance)

Most of "Elephant," from "And she may cry like a baby..."

srahman24 · 11-20-2006, 01:36 PM

Thanks for those videos! It's nice to hear Sand being played again

Can't wait to see your pictures, it looks like you had a great view of the band...

dawno · 11-20-2006, 02:08 PM

Thanks for the vids soitisgirl.... were you sitting in the front row? I was in the front, third in from the left, looks like you were sitting just a bit to my right.

dylanfan · 11-20-2006, 03:34 PM

awesome sotisgirl! much thanks.

TRDW · 11-21-2006, 04:15 AM

I can't agree more with everyones sentiments regarding this show. I don't come home from shows and say OMFG this was the best show ever, but now that I've given it a few days to set in, I think it is the 3rd best show I have seen of all time. Behind Ben Harper 9/30/00, and DMB 12/21/02 for me.

Seriously just awesome. The mix of old and new (Sand was awesome!) the intimacy of the venue (Damo talked to a lot, Lisa didn't even seem nervous), the extremely good behavior of the crowd, and you could tell Damo really appreciated it. Just a great show all around, and a great venue. Only problem is Beacon and Tower have a lot to live up to now!

then you must have been sitting next to my cousin

(2nd in). i had the aisle.

dylanfan · 11-21-2006, 01:26 PM

yep was that kind of a night. have seen endless shows...the dead, zeppelin on their final tour to the states (ok i was only 11 but was there), the clash on their first tour in the states...and this night ranks up there with the most memorable. hard to imagine that the beacon can measure up. but lets hope!

FireDancer79 · 11-22-2006, 04:59 AM

So, as my first Damien show, sitting in the front row, having gotten my ticket at the door right before, I am, 4 days later, still on a high! It was so bloody amazing!!!!!!!! Everything about it. Just brilliant.

The Hiro is such a beautiful venue too. It was perfect.

I just wish it was taped. Someone tell me it was taped!

I've been listening to 9 (and O) on repeat ever since. In a way, I liked hearing all the songs not on his MySpace live first. It was kinda cool...

But yeah, I'm spoiled for life.

soitisgirl · 11-22-2006, 03:24 PM

Finally. Almost a week after, with a bout of the flu ongoing (thank you airplane travel), I have managed to upload over 100 pictures of the Hiro show. They are on my Flickr site.

You can see the set here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/gisele1...7594385355964/

All the pics are in order of the show (and numbered as such). I titled them best I could. They were taken from a front row aisle seat.

You can also view the set as a slideshow either by choosing the option on Flickr or by going here directly:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/gisele1...85355964/show/
The slide show has no individual photo titles, though.

If you like any of them, feel free to download and use as you please.
Some are without flash. Some soft flash. Some regular flash.
I tried my best and got a little (ahem) carried away.

I hope you enjoy them.

glo32 · 11-22-2006, 05:24 PM

those photos are amazing! and colors are beautiful, very professional

oh... and can someone tell me what time the show started, or what time usually damien goes out, please?
