That's brilliant! If you want, you can upload it online somewhere too so you don't have to e-mail everyone individually.
www.sendspace.com works - or one of the 4shared folders that are always floating around here. Can't wait to hear it! |

I'd like a copy too, if you wouldn't mind. Thanks. Did you tape the whole show?

He's got his head shaved again, and I'll be glad if that doesn't find its way on any of his next albums

Shaved head....Really? It was quite shaggy in Boston. Guess NYC drove him to pull a Britney....lol. So anymore reviews? Length of show? Setlist? Stories? Bueller????

Wow, totally amazing how he did all that on the spot. Anyone happen to remember the chords that were suggested from the audience? I wouldn't be surprised if this song showed up somewhere on the new album or so...

I'm confused. Is this is a pre-written song? Is it completely improvised? Lyrics sang on the spot? Blah

He did the same in Louisville and sang the tune Happy Ass - it was very funny although nowhere near as long as last night and it didn't take his usual turn toward darkness........

Really apologise for these bad transcribe of the lyrics, I'm working off the youtube one.
Italics = guess work Might be the last time Might be the first Might be the last time that we give to the world And you ask me What do we do? Picking up anyway, only for you no idea The weekend is all ours Your pulling my heart And I sleep back under stars And I said No I know I've seen many places I said I cannot go Caus' I wash away faces I no idea Everyday for me is real I don't do know what to do Are you no idea Caus' I'm hungry Caus' I'm helpful Caus' I'm *sound barriers on my computer break* Later when I'm on could someone send me a link to get the sound recording and I'll try and rearrange it/ fill in the blanks |
