Bearman, what are you trying to do to me?!?!?  I really wanted to skip this show...but LOOK at that SETLIST.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

What did you expect the setlist to look like? A Doors cover show?

[Bags]

Smarty pants -- it's unusual to see so much from the first few albums -- usually you get one or two of these, not all of 'em:
 
 The Back Of Love
 Never Stop
 Villiers Terrace
 Rescue
 The Cutter
 Do It Clean

[bearman🐻]

They've been playing Do It Clean almost every night on the current tour, which they haven't played since 2001. That is my fave Echo song, one of my ALL-time favorite songs. The live version blows me away every time. I'm so there, and Bags, you have to come as well!

What exactly does "Do it Clean" mean?

[bearman🐻]

Same thing as the lyrics to "Louie Louie", or "Tutti Frutti". It just sounds good.

Believe it or not, Louie, Louie actually means something. It's an old Jamacian sea shanty about a woman named Louise that the sailor is singing farewell to.

Got a copy of the lyrics?   :cool:

[chaz]

Louie Louie, oh no
 Me gotta go
 Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
 Louie Louie, oh baby
 Me gotta go
 
 Fine little girl waits for me
 Catch a ship across the sea
 Sail that ship about, all alone
 Never know if I make it home
 
 CHORUS
 
 Three nights and days I sail the sea
 Think of girl, constantly
 On that ship, I dream she's there
 I smell the rose in her hair.
 
 CHORUS
 
 Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!
 
 GUITAR SOLO
 
 See Jamaica, the moon above
 It won't be long, me see me love
 Take her in my arms again
 Tell her I'll never leave again
 
 CHORUS
 
 Let's take it on outa here now
 Let's go!!
