Back to Days of SPEEDI find it hard to get through and one dimesional in and of itself.....I prefer the songs as they were originally recorded. Saying that I am sure it will come across really well live, either way.He does have a band though on tour, right?

<A HREF="http://paulweller.com/live/diary2002.shtml" TARGET=_blank>http://paulweller.com/live/diary2002.shtml[/url] The FIRST SHOW of the US Tour was fantastic to say the least. TOP GIG! PAUL seemed really up for it! Some fantastic suprises in the setlist as well. The small theatre was all seated, but a number of us stood up the whole time... I don't understand the people who sit down in front. Get UP get UP!!!Unfortunately, for me, I didn't get the chance to say hi to John as he passed by, or Paul (who I had just missed-as I was around the OTHER side of the theatre) but John Looks great, it looked as though the band were well rested and relaxed going into the performance. As ever, PAUL looked brilliant and healthy. I was one of a few earlybirds that got into the soundcheck!!! PAUL did @ 10 warm-up tunes, one being Big Bird!!! Here's that setlist as I recall it: SOUNDCHECK (Not in complete/proper order): Impromtu- warmup jam Big Bird Peacock Suit Can You Heal Us (Holyman) partial Suze's Room Broken Stones Changingman Picking Up Sticks Holyman - (again with proper sound adjustment on PAUL's vocal). Who Brings Joy Bagman - Here's the setlist from the performance- SAN DIEGO- Sprekles Theatre-06-02-03 SETLIST: Out Of The Sinking Porcelain Gods A Bullet For Everyone 1 X 1 It's Written In The Stars Leafy Mysteries This Is No Time Up In Suze's Room Sunflower In The Crowd Broken Stones Long Hot Summer Bagman Who Brings Joy Tales From The Riverbank That's Entertainment All Good Books Can You Heal Us (Holyman) Foot Of The Mountain Into Tomorrow Changingman A Town Called Malice Standing Out In The Universe Encore: Wildwood Woodcutter's Son

lily1 · « **Reply #54 on:** February 19, 2003, 10:46:00 am »

so who is coming tonight? i get to come from work, backpack and files in hand. *joy*not enough time to go home first, offload, and head back in time. well, i could, but i'd miss both openers.

Hey. I hope the show's still on. It seems to be. I have a general gripe that makes me look like an old fart, but so be it...What's up with 9:30 adding two acts at the last minute to the bill for weekday shows? Nobody but students can stay out that late on weeknights, and I don't think there will be that many of them there tonight. Old fogie fans of PW like me have to work the next day, hire a babysitter (who has to go to school tomorrow, I think), etc.Anyway, I don't see how catering exclusively to vampires helps the bottom line.

Yeah, I thought of that. I'm not exactly placing the blame on the club, just whoever. Still, what is advertised is just PW for weeks, then two days before the show, it is revealed that there are two opening acts.Anyway, I've been to plenty of shows midweek that, IMHO, would've made the club more money from alcohol if the showtime was earlier, because people with jobs don't usually continue to drink after midnight on a weekday, but would do so if the show only lasted till, say, 11.Actually, 9:30 HAS made some effort in that area, which I applaud.

lily1 · « **Reply #58 on:** February 19, 2003, 11:08:00 am »

actually, has anyone heard of the two openers? unknown to me.
