LA Show Friday
Just back from the show!!!! and what a show!!!! so mny surprises I don't even know what to tell first... Damien had a lot of jet lag and said he was not that well and he didn't talk much, no stories but still delivered an amazing amazing performance. Highlights:
- a full 12-minute long Acciental babies with the intro plus the KCRW outro with Vyv plus a little extra bit on piano, best Acc babies ever!!! - Lisa singing some parts of Grey room together with Damien. Best Grey room ever!! - New song, Is that it my Friend (?????) a full song, 100% finished, with the whole band in and Lisa singing solo the second verse!! - Damien singing Yoke with a Nacho Libre mask!!!! - Slow also with the whole band and some Lisa backing vocals |

I just came back from the show right now..and I agree it was fantastic!
I loved loved loved the rendition of Volcano that they did tonight.. and i was so happy they did 'I remember'..I was kinda hoping i'd hear 'Cheers Darlin' but well we cant always get everything we want  It was overall such an amazing concert..I'm glad I got to see Damien live.. it was worth every penny.. Side note: the chairs at the Orpheum at the Balcony were so uncomfortable and way too tight |

BTW, How is "Slow" progressing? Finished yet? Damo admitted to me that it was only half begun when he played it this Summer. So did you recognize the new lyrics from the artwork on "9"? P.S. Anybody tape tonight?

the show was great. one of the best concerts i've ever seen.
another note- it seemed that lisa forgot the lyrics on her verse on "is that it my friend", and vyv forgot the words to her motorbike song, which brought it to a halt. I will agree that it was the best accidental babies i've ever heard, and the best grey room i've heard. Me my yoke and I was rocked out... especially with the mexican wrestler mask :-) other highlights were of course: Is that it my friend? and Lisa's Song "green eyes"? the opening performance was great. Glen and (what's her name?) were right on. I got to talk to them briefly before Damo went on. They were very nice. |

In addition to the 3 YouTube Lisa songs here's a description of the ones she played in Dingle last week. Let us know if any of this sounds like it was from the "Green Eyes" song:
Lisa was wearing a long black evening dress and she sang three songs. The last song she actually sang twice because I don't think they were happy with the first recording. I didn't recognise any of the songs she sang and they all seem to be different to the three songs she sang in Sligo up on YouTube. The last song had the lyrics "You can have coffee / splishy, splashy.... Frozen" and one of the other songs had the lyrics "Baby, you can die.. Baby, you can lie" and another lyric was "Love can be unbroken / Love can be unspoken". She is so modest on stage, the audience loved the songs but she seemed surprised by the reaction. BTW, Sounds like there was no Rhoades organ there. Does that mean he played "Slow" on Piano? I'd definitely love to hear how that would sound...!

One thing that was really ridiculous was some of the things people in the audience were shouting. I felt second-hand embarrassment just listening to these people. One girl shouted, "Go on and be your bad self" and he took out his monitor headphones and asked her to repeat it. I think she was embarrassed and I think someone else ended up yelling it out again for her. He just had this puzzled look on his face after hearing that, and I can't say that I blame him. Me My Yoke and I was crazy. I really liked it. It was a little creepy to see him with the Mexican wrestling mask on, but then again, it's just that kind of song. I've seen them four times now, and although they performed *very* well, it just seemed like Damien just wasn't quite his usual self last night. He said he was feeling jetlagged and made a comment about falling asleep standing up like a horse so maybe that was it. But it came right after the "bad self" comment, so maybe it was that too. Who knows? Great show. |

Quick review...
The show started with everyone singing Happy Birthday after Glenn told before that it was Damien's b'day. Delicate (nice), Womn like a man (very heavy), then the first surprise of the night... 9 Crimes with D on guitar, it was the upbeat version they did on the XFM radio in London. Nice one, very diff from the album version. Then he corrected people about his b'dy, said it had been Thu, and showed us his present from Glenn which was this lucha libe mask. He said he needed his electric guitar for this one so he grabbed it, ut the mask on, which was a full-head pink'n'yellow mask and start rocking like AC/DC  then he said that that present really made him fel young...Then he went for the piano for Slow, which was short nd I think it was not the full song. The lyrics about the dog and the part about Sh ****ed Off to France were there, but not the rest of new lyrics from the booklet. It was more like an Intro to Rootless tree but I think the song has progressed since it had some cello parts nd Lisa did backing vocals, and it had drums too... Rootless tree next. Great as usual, looooved it. Then Cannoball with Lisa on guitar, nice. She also played guitar for the next one, The Animals which was great too, best version ever!!! Lisa sang fully with Damien the chorus and the effect was great!!!!! Tht's how the album version should be!! Then the Is that it my friend which I loooooved. It's a quiet song, not as slow as Cheers or Slow, something between Cheers and Prague. Lisa sang the second verse alone, she started the first line a bit shaky, then she forgot some words and went all mmmmmm Great song. The lyrics lso mentioned the desert and the chorus was I long... I long... Then this woman yelled the keep being your bad self, which pissed Damien off compltely I think. He started Elephnt, but stopped after 1 minute and rushed off the stage... He said sthing like I'm lucky i'm touring with a band in moments like this... Vyv said they've ben doing lots of covers with Lisa recently but she also has one original and she wnt into the Motorway song which was incredible, she was singing and playing with the cello, but jus with her fingers, Lisa was at the piano, singing but very softly... She forgot some lyrics too and was coming around and trying again but no luck and in the end Lisa whispered them to her... the song got a great aundience reaction, especially after the lines about cocaine and pot... Damien came back after that, Vyv joking that he never listens to her songs. He mentioned that he had a hell of a jet lag and that although he was standing like a horse full of energy suddenly he was falling asleep so he had to stop and get some sake!!!! Despite that, the rest of the show was mind-blowing!!!best ever... biased maybe because he playing my 6 fav songs in a row!!!! Starting with Elephnt, an amazing amazing Volcano, this song rocks, then he started playing the first notes of Dogs but changed his mind and went for Grey Room. Wow!!!!!! Best version ever, damn it, why they didn't record it lik that... so D started and then Lisa joined in the Desole part singing fully like duet, then D went back solo and Lisa joined him again for the grape part. Beyond words!!!!!! They ended with I Remember, classic!!!! People looooved Lisa's part, great reaction. The rest was very powerful, with the Watchtower bit and ending in a weird way. Damien recorded some vocals with the pedal and left stage, then Lisa also left and then Vyv moved to the piano and the 3 of them left kept playing for a while with Damien's voice recorded on the background. In the end they all left but you still could hear the pre-recorded but til a technitian came to stop it... Lisa's song must be a newie. Don't think it's any of the ones mentioned above...It was sooooo haunting.... Then, as mentioned before, best Acc babies ever. Long 5 min intro, which I think it was compltely new and diff too, thn the usual Damien part, very very very sad and beautiful and haunting and magic, then the KCRW outro with that cello part and the piano going together. This must be the best 5 minutes of music ever written!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vyv stopped and Damien went on for a bit like at the KCRW but then a little bit more with some notes very very high, at the very end of th piano, playing a bit... I'd say in total it must have been 12-15 min long!!!! And to finish it all, an amazing The Blower's Daughter, really really beautiful!! Can't wait for tonight!!!! I guess tonite we'll get diff songs, prob Dogs, Coconuts, Cold water, Tofee pop and The Professor!!! |

Did anyone else notice the little extra word in "I Remember"?
"Come all ye lost. Dive into KATE Moss." No joke. I was laughing soooo hard!

Marketa also sang a song that I'm not familiar with, and they ended with Star, Star, which isn't on the Swell Season album. It was a GREAT set. |

Yeah, the show was great. I loved the acoustics in the theatre. The lucha libre mask was classic. I think I saw them for sale at the shop right outside the Orpheum.
Did anyone record the show? |

I was meaning that Damen didn't start til 9.10, I think Glenn & Marketa started at 8.15. I think they did the exact setlist as Oakland, even the same jokes and song introductions...
And yep, he sang Dive into Kate Moss in I Remember, forgot that one... What sucked was that there were sooooooooo many empty seats in the front rows, these were the tickets that never went on sale on Ticketmaster and I guess they were given away for free at radio shows etc, and then half of the people doesn't show up... A few people moved and took these seats, my whole row shifted to the center and I end up with a perfect view since seats 18-20 in half the first rows were empty... so if today you're in a crappy place, check for better empty seats

The Orpheum does need bigger seating. The leg room was horrid. I had to sit a little side-ways. But I do have to admit that the place was just soo elegant. Fancy and nice. Too bad I couldn't have a drink. I'm too young :P |

Thanks so much, SG!
I've just realized that this "Green Eyes" song of Lisa's may be the one she sang at Hiro after Vyv's "Random Man". If you can post that one too I should know right away whether that's true or not. Also pretty anxious to hear these "best ever" versions of AB and GR. You rule for doing this!
