Atlanta at The Tabernacle

RenataAQP · 03-23-2015, 10:45 AM

Only 8 more days until the tour starts!!

Is anybody else going to the show next tuesday?

ChitownDamo · 03-23-2015, 11:26 PM

I will be there. Coming in from Chicago and hitting Atlanta Tuesday and Nashville Monday. Anyone know Alt good enough to recommend a good pregaming bar before the show?

ishoutedmyjoy · 03-28-2015, 01:49 PM

Slice is a decent little place only a block or 2 from the venue. There aren't a lot of decent spots close to the venue.

And does anyone know the opener?

I'll be there! This will be my 3rd Damien show. Pretty stoked. Got bored at work and put together a reasonable ideal set:

My Favorite Faded Fantasy
Coconut Skins
Cross-Eye Bear
It Takes A Lot to Know a Man
Cold Water
The Animals were Gone
Elephant
Delicate
The Greatest Bastard
I Don’t Want to Change You
Cannonball
Then Go
What if I’m wrong
I Remember

The Professor
Creep
Long Long Way
Eskimo

We shall see what happens

RenataAQP · 03-30-2015, 01:15 PM

doesn't look like there is an opening artist.

are there any parking decks near the venue? The Tabernacle website does not show a map with parking options.

Slayer13 · 03-30-2015, 05:19 PM

There are 3-4 well-marked parking options right around the tabernacle (ie within 20 yards). Just drive around and you'll see them marked and people waving flags to get you to park there. I know the show is sold out, but it's a Tuesday night so parking should be around $10 for a deck

Hey guys,
We have 2 face value tickets for the show ( Last minute cancellations). We are travelling to Atlanta from Tampa so will be on the road most of the day. Call Vincent on
(813) 361- 5008 if interested.

Slayer13 · 03-31-2015, 04:08 AM

PSA: Called the Tabernacle today (who knew - phone calls are still the easiest answer). There is NO OPENER and Damien goes on at 7:45pm sharp with a 9:45pm cut off. So tell your friends - show up late at your own peril.

ishoutedmyjoy · 03-31-2015, 04:57 PM

Good to know. Thanks for sharing!

RenataAQP · 03-31-2015, 04:40 PM

will be hitting the road in about an hour. Is everybody heading straight to the venue or meeting somewhere before the show?

pretty excited about the show!

carrroline · 03-31-2015, 04:49 PM

Have fun tonight! Looking forward to reading your stories here

borneoman · 03-31-2015, 07:35 PM

Report back

rachlanee · 03-31-2015, 08:27 PM

I'm so excited that I feel like I need a nap but I can't sleep and there's no time to.

verenita · 03-31-2015, 08:37 PM

rach! you will have the best time!
enjoy everybody

utopia · 03-31-2015, 08:43 PM

So excited for my first show! I've been waiting more than a decade to see him live and tonight is the night. Am I correct in assuming this may be the only North American date without an opener? Not that I'm expecting a longer show, but it would be nice! I've always wanted to hear 'Woman Like A Man' live, so here's to hoping!

How was the show for you? I'm happy for you that he played Woman Like a Man!

Thank you! I had a blast. I managed to get a front row ticket when they went on sale, so being that close really made it that much sweeter.

My apologies if this is not ok, but does anyone know how Damien's management feels about sharing taped shows? I know I've seen some of his shows popping up on Trader's Den and whatnot. I recorded the show on my phone (audio only, and it's actually decent) and thought I'd share so long as it doesn't violate any forum rules or copyright laws. Some artists allow tapers, so I figured I'd at least ask.

rachlanee · 03-31-2015, 08:52 PM

Thanks, Vere! Leaving soon, it's almost a 2hr drive for only 20 miles.

mikerennie · 03-31-2015, 10:04 PM

I'm very interested in the setlist he will pull off tonight. Hopefully he has some secrets up his sleeves!

Great picture, definitly appears that it is a solo tour which is fine by me... Any variation of Damien is just wonderful in my book.

RenataAQP · 04-01-2015, 02:40 AM

It finished about 15 mins ago.
Here is the set list, i think i got all of them

MFFF
9 crimes
Elephant
The professor
Delicate
IDWTCY
Women like a man
Cold water
the greatest bastard
Amie
older chests
Volcano
Coconut skins
The blowers daughter

He sang Grey room as well, can't remember after what song though

Trusty and true
I remember

I have to drive back so i'll post pics n videos prob tomorrow

utopia · 04-01-2015, 02:51 AM

What an incredible show. Couldn't have asked for a better set, and seeing him solo just blew me away.

The girl who he picked for Cold Water killed it. Hard to believe she was just a random person out of the audience

InspirationDestination · 04-01-2015, 05:15 AM

Great for your first show! Thanks for sharing! I loooove him solo, but I think we might get some songs with my bubba in NYC and Philly. Sad that there were no surprises. Would've liked it takes a lot...or camarillas. Hoping for varied set lists and looking forward to your reviews! Was he in good spirits and did he talk much? Or, say anything about the new album he worked on in January?

I wish we were getting a different opener (ie. Marketa) since we already saw My Bubba in Nov. Actually, I wish there was no opener and he just plays for a solid 3+ hours!

borneoman · 04-01-2015, 06:40 AM

looks like Damien has not been practising any new songs

I think people going to the shows have to push him and request It Takes a Lot... otherwise, he´s not gonna play it...

was gonna ask the same, did he mention anything about the new album?

I think he's just playing what he's comfortable with to start off the tour.
There'll be some surprises later on, i'm sure

for a second I thought he was naked.

Lol I was thinking the same thing.

So he randomly selects someone out of the crowd to sing with him? Maybe his assistant or someone scans the crowd prior to the show for someone. Otherwise, most of the ones I've heard on YouTube sound great. I guess all Damien Rice fans have great voices!
