Ditto and ditto!

Can't wait for tonight. And Kelly Hogan has been on previous dates this tour, so I'm thinking she'll be there tonight!!
-
I had to relucatantly pass on this one since I have family visiting. :(
-
Saw this show a few weeks ago in NYC. Both bands were great. Any Archers of Loaf fans going might be in for a nice surprise ;)
-
I'll be there. Her last time at 9:30 was something special.
-
Going. Was really surprised how much I liked her set at Sasquatch in May. Light years from the show I remember at Black Cat circa 2002.
-
Set list?
-
Damn good show as always...

Missed that look, but why was he even up there for that song? It didn't look like he even opened his mouth once and he looked very uncomfortable. Maybe it was his wardrobe malfunction. And is it just me, or does he sound a lot like Neil Diamond?

When I saw Eric Bachmann at Central Park, he played "White Trash Heroes." It was great because I never got to see him play it when he was with Archers. "Might" would've been awesome too. And yes, he does sound like Neil Diamond.
I missed this show, but my friends and I drove by the club around 1:30 and saw Neko hanging out on the sidewalk. Wish we had stopped to say hi.

It was a very good show, but I have to say I was a little disappointed. It missed a certain magic that last year's show had. Neko mentioned something about needing to wake up at the beginning of her set, and it showed. The first 3-4 songs were rather low energy. It got better as the show went on, but it never quite hit the high mark of last year's show. The audience didn't really seem to be as enthusiastic as last year either, as I recall, and that didn't help with the overall energy level of the show. (By energy level, I mean the intensity of the performance and subsequent audience reaction.) I would have liked to have heard a couple more Fox Confessor songs such as "Margaret Vs. Pauline" as well. "John Saw That Number" was the main highlight, but it might have come too late. Or maybe it was just me! Last year's show was probably the best show I attended all last year. I suppose it was inevitable that any follow-up show would suffer in comparison.
I admired Eric Bachmann's guitar playing on a few songs, but I was a little bored by his opening set for the most part, except, of course, for when Neko and her slide guitarist came out to help on one song. The Mexican lullabies didn't really do anything for me.

I wasn't at the show last year, but I agree with you completely. It seemed somewhat low-energy and routine. Following the show, she didn't bother to address those of us who waited outside when she walked to the bus; if she was standing outside around 1:30, she must have gotten off the bus right after we left. Someone in her band mentioned that she wasn't feeling well, so that may have something to do with it all.

this was my first time seeing neko. i thought it was a very good show. she has an amazing voice. but i agree with the general sentiment, there was just something missing that didn't quite make it a memorable show. maybe she's getting tired of the fox confessor material because this is her 2nd time around. a couple near me talking through the whole freakin show didn't help. :mad:
-
Was it me or was the crowd for this show really kind of, erm, uptight? I actually got yelled at by some dude for "interrupting his conversation" after I politely attempted to move past him on my way back from the bathroom. Um, go out in public much, sir? Sometimes other people are there too. It was kind of striking since I remember a very mellow and pleasant vibe from the audience at the show last year and I guess that got my hopes up. Oh well.

I was kind of thinking the same thing after the show last night. But, if she really wasn't feeling 100% or was just exhausted, then that could be the reason. Probably a little from column A and a little from column B.

I think she should resurrect the entirety of The Virginian and Furnace Room Lullaby for a tour; that would be something to see. :)

I agree. The crowd at her previous show was very quiet, respectful and focused on the stage. Some people at this show were talking throughout and it made me nuts! Why pay money to see a show and then have a conversation the whole time? Grrrrr.
And as kmb187 said, it would be great to see her do stuff from The Virginian.

Was it just him solo? When I saw him he had three others onstage with him, and played mostly Crooked Fingers songs.

It was just him solo, aside from the one song when Neko and her guitarist came out.
