Luzern
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.

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. |

Just found a really really nice review about the gig in Luzern. Seems like the author enjoyed it even more than I did!

Take a look at my post in Other Music on the show - we were the ones in fourth row center who he was having fun with over my wife's constant "shsssng" and were the reason for his cracking up and laughing throughout Long Black Veil!! And then looking straight at me and grinning at the "drunken gibberish" line in Sail Away - funny!! |
