Very hard-rockin' Sadies tonight. Gord was good, very much a "controlled" performance - no physical freak outs or fights with the mic stand. Forgot a few lyrics, but hey, first show of the tour and all that.
Entire album played, plus a few other tunes. Encore was 2 covers. I think my favourite song was Saved. Will become a killer closer by the end of the tour. Apparently more Canadian dates forthcoming.
If you only like the Hip you might not like this, but if you like this, I think you really would like this live.
Setlist (confirmed):
Crater
Conquering Sun
LA Times
So Sad About Us (The Who)
One Good Fast Job
Didn't Start To Break My Heart
Grey Riders (Neil Young)
Budget Shoes
Demand Destruction
If You Have Ghosts (Roky Erickson)
Devil Enough
Generation (Fucked Up)
I'm Free, Disarray Me
Goodbye Johnny (The Gun Club)
Saved
Enc:
I Am A Scientist (Guided By Voices)
I Got A Right (Iggy & the Stooges)
Psychedelic rockabilly with a punk slant. The more I replay the show in my head, the more I realize how f'n great it was. The more I picture it, they shouldn't be playing outdoor folkie-fests. They should be playing sweaty clubs with beer stains on the floor. When you learn about the covers, which included tracks I didn't know, you realize the slant they are taking with these shows, and how perfectly suited the tracks are for the Sadies (when they go down the punk track and not the country road).
Hopefully I can get my recording up sooner rather than later for y'all. I am really digging this show.
