Old 97's Roll Call

[TheNomad]

So, other than Rhett, who's going?
 
 Anyone tempted to sell their tickets for $40 to the guy on the tickets wanted page?  For $40 you could go see 8 shitty Black Cat shows.
 
 Friday night, Old 97's, I might need to drink 30 beers.

I have to miss it.  I'd love to go, but can't -- am headed out of town for my first skiing trip ever.  And, it helps that I get to miss a Rhett siting...

[ratioci nation]

whoops, did not get my tickets

Or one shitty Old 97's show.

[kosmo vinyl]

me neither... i was originally going to la to see the sugarplastic, but work and low fundage got in the way.

[markie]

I didnt get mine either, I didnt fancy shows 3 nights in a row. I guess this makes my decision easy. Gomez and Starsailor it is for me.

Sold our extra one ticket for $15. Wouldn't sell the other two for $100 each...
 
 Here's the set list for the Chicago show Friday night (taken from an Old 97's message board) (why he needed to do two songs off of the solo album after playing Chicago at least 8 or 9 times solo is beyond me):
 
 Victoria
 Barrier
 Smokers (a Murry song with the refrain "she's a singer, I'm a smoker")
 Streets of Where I'm From
 Won't (be home no more)
 Buick
 WTX Teardrops
 Indef (complete with audience participation)
 Cliff (Rhett flubbed the lyrics, so we didn't get to yell "asshole")
 Salome
 Let the Train Whistle Blow(Johnny Cash cover)
 Moonlight (previously a Ranchero's tune?)
 Designs
 Dressing (with Ken singing backup!)
 Devil's
 Big Brown Eyes
 Doreen
 --------
 2 Rhett acoustic: The El & Come Around
 Val (Murry, an acoustic guitar, and Rhett's backup--hello goosebumps!)
 Shoe (didn't play)
 Indef (written twice, didn't play this time)
 Time
 
 Lonely Holiday was in there somewhere too, but not written on the
 list...

hmm, this seems like a shorter set than has been reported elsewhere, with fewer "new" songs ... maybe they shortened it in Chicago because Rhett has played there so many times, and they'll give DC a little more love? a boy can always dream...
 
 I'm in, for what it's worth.

It was a late show, there was another 3 band bill at the club earlier the same night...so it's quite possible the set time was shorter...i was thinking the same thing.
 
 Chicago only had one opener, the damnwells. make sure you get to Friday's show early. Murry's wife Grey Delisle plays some tasty country tunes, with Murry on bass, and former Lone Justice member Marvin Etzioni stealing the show on mandolin.

i'll be there. and at starsailor the night after, and perhaps gomez the night prior to rhett and the boys.

[Guiny]

Well since i'm doing absolutely nothing that night i'm thinkin' i'm not gonna go to the show.

[ggw]

As much as I'd like to see the Old 97s, I'll be too busy hobnobbing with the Sundance glitterati on the slopes of Park City.

[eltee]

fundage [/QB]

What is that? A fudge sundae?
 I'm in. Sold the extra ticket I had...sorry.

[stu47]

I'm going....
