Damien at the Tower Theater

paranoidandroid · 04-15-2004, 02:41 AM

Is anyone goin to seem him at the Tower Theater in Philly on April 15? I somehow gathered up enough money ($35) to pay for the ticket. I remember a year ago I saw Damien for $8 in a place about the size of a living room called the Fire also in Philly. I was also wondering if he has been playing any new stuff on his tour?

Kristi · 04-15-2004, 02:59 AM

Ill be there and so will Glittrgrl... there is another thread like this one, i cant remember who else will be there! Im not sure what the setlist will be.... ya never know, he may play something new! [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

mrjonesandme81 · 04-15-2004, 05:01 PM

I'm headin to the Tower Theatre tonight to see Damien. Also, I
was at The Fire when Damien first came to town and then at the TLA the
time after that. Two of the greatest concerts I've been to in my
life so I can't wait to see what happens tonight.

Mario · 04-15-2004, 05:42 PM

Really? Therefore you and I make up half the audience at that Fire show. I couldn't make the TLA last fall, saw him last spring at Tin Angel and Fire, and XPN SSW.

mrjonesandme81 · 04-15-2004, 07:02 PM

haha yeah, there was like 10 people in the audience and the rest were
the families of the opening acts. I do remember the girl that
opened up being really cute, I don't know whatever happened to
her. I saw him at XPN too but it was so crowded I didn't really
enjoy it. I did however get to talk to vyvienne for a bit. See you all tonight</span>

paranoidandroid · 04-15-2004, 07:29 PM

I was also at the XPN and TLA shows. However the fire was still the best, esp. since we all sat on the floor. Did you hear when Xpn replayed the TLA concert... I forgot how amazing Cold Water was live. See you all there Im the one in the balcony with a fro

TRDW · 04-15-2004, 08:14 PM

I too will be there tonite, sitting FRONT ROW PIT! I'm row AAA Pit, I forget my seat #'s (tix are in my car) but feel free to stop down and say hi. I too was at the TLA show ($10) last time he came around but despite the heavy price tag, I'm looking even more forward to seeing him this time around. I would love to see him bust out a Lonelily, though it will never happen. See yall there tonite!

paranoidandroid · 04-16-2004, 04:29 AM

Um That show ws amazing!
Im speechless
does anyone know what the first song he played with the strat was. It was quite dank

Mario · 04-16-2004, 04:54 AM

Edit: I screwed up that answer. I believe you're referring to Tongue, though.Edited by: Mario

paranoidandroid · 04-16-2004, 05:04 AM

what was the highlight you think?

Mario · 04-16-2004, 05:17 AM

Woman Like a Man was when everyone realized this was a rock show. I'd say that was the highlight, though I can't say it was his best performance.

Seemed into the songs, but not into the show... hard to explain. He wasn't in a jamming mood tonight, everything was played through but the amie jam seemed pretty quick, Volcano was no jam at all really, Woman didn't reprise like he has several times this tour.

And the technical difficulties are just getting out of hand at this point. Every show mics aren't on, monitors are buzzing...

TRDW · 04-16-2004, 06:45 AM

My highlight was I Remember, it was the standard I Remember but I loove that outro. Also the covers they did, and the last song w/ everyone gathered around the mic was tight too. First row, amazing show, cant say more

TIM

Kristi · 04-16-2004, 07:45 AM

my highlight was glen.... lol, i meanof course i love damien, but i had never gotten to see the frames play live before and i love them too!!!! [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img].... i noticed when lisa said the words wrong in the professor (unless she meant to... [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]) because im a wierdo... but it was incredible, and damien is SO nice!

(nice to meet you mario! [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img])

mrjonesandme81 · 04-16-2004, 11:45 AM

Amazing show but I still rank it behind the Fire and the TLA.
Both of them had the 'hanging-out-with-friends-and-jamming' kind've
mood. This was more of just a big concert, which was expected
cause it's definitely a bigger venue. I never saw The Frames live
and I was amazed how good they sounded. Wow, I think they rank as
the best opening band I've ever seen (much better than Pedestrian in my
book). It was nice to see Lisa at one of these Philly shows
finally (XPN wasn't really a Damien concert for me), she was amazing of
course. For me I think the highlight was definitely the "Our Last
Goodbye" tribute to JB (Hallelujah was awesome, but nobody can touch
Jeff's live performance). Damien and Co. along with The Frames on
stage at the same time, priceless.

I was wondering if any of you have ever seen Damien cover a Mic
Christopher song, I would've loved to have heard them bust out What a
Curious Notion or Skylarkin last night?...it would've just seemed
fitting to go along with the 2 JB songs.

-Greg

PS: For you folks that went to the Fire, did at some point during
the night you just look around in awe at how much Damien has grown in
popularity? I mean the amount of people at the Fire probably
couldn't have fit my row, and now he's selling out pretty damn big
venues. Congrats Damien and Co.

TRDW · 04-16-2004, 01:38 PM

Did anyone get a setlist of last nights show??

TIM

GlttrGrrl · 04-16-2004, 04:35 PM

Go over to the Gigs Forum for a set list. Or go to the damienrice.com forum (I know it's evil) http://www.damienrice.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3257

I think Damien had an excellent time and was very into it. I liked the Amie jam...it wasn't too long and it was unreal. My jaw dropped...whatever he did made the floor shake and made me feel like I was being beamed up into a UFO. He called it the spaceship when he talked about it after the show. After the show Damien was beaming and said that he loved the theater and he called it an amazing show. Edited by: GlttrGrrl

Kristi · 04-16-2004, 07:40 PM

yeh he seemed to have had an excellent time, an "amazing show"- dead on Valerie! [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

Kristi · 04-16-2004, 07:40 PM

hopefully he got his flower to perk right up in some water! [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

GlttrGrrl · 04-16-2004, 10:54 PM

I'm going to bring him a living one tonight [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img] That flower was pitiful

Kristi · 04-17-2004, 03:03 AM

hehe, it was lurvely!!! ... Tell us about tonight when you get a chance!!!! [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

GlttrGrrl · 04-17-2004, 07:14 AM

omg, I will tell you about tonight on like Sunday or some time when I have time. All I can say is it was fan-friggin-tastic. Glen invited us down to hang out with the band at this pub on the lower east side...I need sleep. I'll tell you more later.

Kristi · 04-17-2004, 07:15 AM

[img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img].... SO UNFAIR. and even more unfair because even if i were with you i wouldnt have been able to get in. [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]

cant wait to hear all about it tho!!! (even if i am SO jealous)[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]
