DR Live Show Info

I've really gotten into Damien Rice since around November. I have most of his albums(o and 9 and some of the B-Sides) and have DL'd the bonaroo show and the union chapel show. i've listen to the heck out of all those songs.

however, i'm attending my first shows in a couple of weeks. i was wondering how often does he mix up his sets. does he(they) stick to the setlist, or does he change things up on the fly. is there a lot of standing at the shows? or do people pretty much just stay quiet and seated (ie ray lamontagne)

i'm just trying to get a little prepared. i've been looking forward to these shows since i bought tix back in feb. i've been to 61 dmb shows...but yet to make it to DR. i look forward to trying to catch as many shows as possible in the coming years. i'm just bummed i never got a chance to see the band with lisa.

hopefully someday they'll reunite.

thanks for hearing me out. sorry if i rambled too long.

peace

Concerning the setlist, I'm pretty sure not one show is similar to the other.. I don't think he really plans them out much in advance and you're probably in for at least one surprise

Hope you enjoy the shows!

Setlists get changed, although not on the DMB level (this also has something to do with the fact that at this point, he has a much more limited catalogue than Dave). You've got a pretty good chance of hearing something brand-new, or at the least something that's never been released.

As far as sitting/standing, the crowd will probably sit unless its GA and there's no seats. The mood is pretty sedate, but there's a good sort of energy to it. You'll feel it yourself soon enough.

Damien doesn't have a set list. he plays what he wants to play at that moment. It keeps the band on their toes

None of the 8 or 9 shows I've been to have been like each other, but he almost always plays certain songs at every show (The Blower's Daughter, Volcano), and from the looks of it, he's playing Cannonball off-mic at the edge of the stage and Cheers Darlin' as his last song every night. But maybe he'll get bored of that and start doing something different at later shows in the tour.

While he is ending most of the shows with cheers darlin he didn't in Dallas - that show's encore was blowers and ended with the unplugged cannonball - he is also throwing in some unreleased stuff like Face in Dallas - he has also played Sand and others along with some other stuff like Cross eyed bear in Chicago last night.

All in all he decides as he goes - and some of the best moments are the jams during or between songs.
