I believe they canceled both the Atlantis and 930 gigs.

The T Mobile connection came back and we three walked into the Atlantis at the totally rock and roll time of 6:20, as the opener was finishing their set. It was loud and the opener sucked. My daughter's first comment was "Can we please leave?"

But we didn't, and Nada Surf came on at 6:57pm. They're one of my favorites, and were reliably good. They did 17 songs, five of them new, and were done in 80 minutes. A totally truncated show.

Another boardie told me the late show (that was added after the original show sold out) lasted two hours and 24 songs.

How's that for some scheduling bullshit?

also setlist FM has similar # of songs, but different mix

Boardie Vas Deferens tells me that second setlist is incomplete. He says they went on at 10:30, played at least 24 songs, and finished at 12:30.

I guess the silver lining was that we were able to grab some dinner and still be home by 10, allowing my wife some sleep before her 5:30am work phone call with someone in India.

Never a fan of the two shows in a night but it’s interesting to note that in the 1940s and 50s multiple shows per day was the norm and it wasn’t uncommon to have 20-30 minute sets. Guys like Sinatra played six shows a day! The early rock and roll shows packaged together various performers with each artist performing their hit….Even into the late 60s rock shows rarely went over an hour. The Beatles in Hamburg played show after show after show until 4 am. Once the Beatles made it their concerts weren’t much more than 12 two minute songs!

Beat (Adrian Belew era King Crimson) at Warner Theater.   Great show and was happy to see it was a sell out.  It's nice to see this tour be so welcomed by fans as there doesn't seem to be a more genuinely nice guy than Adrian Belew. And you can tell he just loves to perform this music.  The show just oozed excellent musicianship with Belew, Stevie Vai, Tony Levin and Tool drummer Danny Carey.  They hit all the highlights of 3 Belew era King Crimson albums Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair.  I was blown away by Stevie Vai's guitar work, as well as all the others.

Disappointed tonight in Frankie Rose, who opened for Jesus & Mary Chain/Psychedelic Furs. Was really looking forward to it. Didn't know anything about her, but listened on Spotify to see if the opener would be good, and I liked it. Unfortunately, they spent the whole set in the dark, backlit by red lights crossing the stage behind them and a screen playing black and white graphics. We couldn't see the band at all from the front row of a box, just silhouettes. Since the drums and keyboards appeared canned -- no discernable person playing those -- I had to wonder whether the whole thing was live or Memorex.  Everything but the drums sounded pretty good, but maybe too good, and it was hard to focus on the music while being so annoyed at the band playing in the dark, like, who does that?, and wondering if it's all recorded. I'd like to think at least some of it was live, and I tried to tell, but the performance wasn't visible. In fairness, to her credit, she did visibly sing two songs with JAMC. So, I really wanted to like it, but lost a fair amount of interest.

Jesus & Mary Chain, and Psychedelic Furs, were great. Richard Butler's great weird voice hasn't changed at all. A lot of people left after "Pretty in Pink," but they missed out, their last three songs were some of their best.

James / Johnny Marr

The now nine piece version of James gave us a 70 minute joyous  set that went by far to quick and end far to soon.  Besides songs from their marvelous new album "Yummy" we got as close to a US James's greatest hits as one could hope for. "Born Of Frustration", a primarily audience singalong for "Stay", "Sometimes" and "Laid".  Hopefully, at some point US promoters will realize the James has the US fanbase so they get a non-coheadlining tour. So many great songs they have to choose from, would have wished they dug a little deeper into their more recent albums, but getting 80/90s James will never disappoint.

In stark contrast Johnny Marr gave us a plodding when will end set, I have many thoughts on his set primarily being why did I stick around so long.  His voice just isn't up to being able to carry The Smiths or Electronic songs. His solo material is dull and sounds alike.  The beauty of The Smiths was his ability to multi-track guitar parts, which while he and his guitarist were making a attempt to replicate that sound it just wasn't working.  The kicker being that in an abbreviated version of "How Soon Is Now", Johnny was only handling the rhythm guitar line and the other was handling the leads/stabs the song is known for.  Vocals aside the guitar work on "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" was stunning.

That was my impression seeing Marr live years ago. He sucks.
