What a great show.. Paul is THE Geezer by excellence in my book.. it still blows my mind to see him rocking out for two hours with his age.. I'm probably less than half his age and i get spent playing one hour gigs.. I tip my hat to him and his outstanding backing band with Steve White keeping it all locked in place..The other guitarist was Steve Cradock from Ocean Colour Scene?? I read someplace he'd be the touring guitarist but I'm not able to pick him out of a crowd.. great show, I'm happy it filled up nicely... good to see you chatboard pariahs making it to the show..ps: seems not having snowflakes on yer scarf eliminates the "emo" factor... talk about double standards

I agree with the other attendees -- The Modfather was truly excellent -- much better than I was expecting.Fiction Plane was utterly forgettable. I don't know what sound they were going for.

Hi everybody, I'm new to this forum but I've been a Wellerite for years and it was great to see him last night. Anyway, if you want the setlist, you'll find that Steve White (the drummer) has his own website (www.whiteydrums.com) and if you click on 'tour', then the concert, he'll provide the setlist (even last night's), whiny commentary about DC, and statements about how unfunny Conan O'Brien is (I think Paul is scheduled to be on his show tonight). Anyway, enjoy.

Well he was a great drummer, but jesus he is a bit whiney.

fred perry · « **Reply #97 on:** February 20, 2003, 05:22:00 pm »

Ok, here's the setlist, at least according to Steve White: 1) Going Places (Illumination) 2) One X One (Illumination) 3) Out of the Sinking (Stanley Road) 4) Porcelain Gods (Stanley Road) 5) Hung Up (Wild Wood) 6) Suze�??s Room (Heavy Soul) 7) Wild Wood (Wild Wood)

This is No Time (Live Wood, More Wood) 9) In the Crowd (All Mod Cons) 10) What�??s Going On (Marvin Gaye tune) 11) Broken Stones (Stanley Road) 12) Long Hot Summer (Introducing TSC) 13) Picking Up Sticks (Heliocentric) 14) Bag Man (Illumination) 15) That�??s Entertainment (Sound Affects) 16) You Do Something to Me (Stanley Road) 17) Can You Heal Us (Holy Man) (Wild Wood) 18) Into Tomorrow (Weller) 19) Foot of the Mountain (Wild Wood) 20) Changing Man (Stanley Road) 21) Town Called Malice (The Gift)Encores: 22) Bullet for Everyone (Illumination) 23) Whirlpool�??s End (Stanley Road)Jadetree, I agree that Steve White is a bit whiny. He was always like that; he drummed for Paul with the Style Council, and I read some interviews with him back then and he was the same way. So was Paul, but now Paul is quite diplomatic, whatever he may think about the States.

God Steve is whiney... I'm surprised of the opinion he took of DC, doesn't seem he's spent enough time to make that opinion... on the contrary I met Johnny Marr waltzing about in M Street and he said Washington was quite alright..meaning he liked it..

fred perry · « **Reply #99 on:** February 20, 2003, 05:36:00 pm »

fico, you think they did four tunes for the encore? I only remember two. But then it was a late night for me....Forgot to add: the song that was played after the lights went up was Al Wilson's 'The Snake'. Weller raved about it once on his website as a great Northern Soul tune.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by fred perry: fico, you think they did four tunes for the encore? I only remember two. But then it was a late night for me....<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I only remember two songs in the encore as well, and I was right up at the front of the stage (pretty much directly in front of Paul) where you'd think I would have noticed.That setlist looks pretty accurate to me. I was surprised he didn't play either of the singles ("It's Written in the Stars" and "Leafy Mysteries") off of the new album. An incredible show regardless, though.One thing I would like to note, though, is that people that sing along with the songs at the top of their lungs really piss me off. Especially when they themselves can't carry a tune. Like, I'm glad you're really getting into the show, but I came to hear the artist on stage, not you. I'm totally congratulating myself for my restraint in not turning around and hitting the guy behind me repeatedly. [This message has been edited by arcane (edited 02-20-2003).]

i've seen it tossed around here before, and perhaps i'm still a touch too new with too few posts to have hit that chapter in the 930 bb textbook.poorlulu, damn label that sebastian rogers is on was down all day so i couldn't download pictures of his hottie self.

what about the drunk bastard that tried to work his way to the front? i wanted to throw him over the barrier. obnoxious shit that he was. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by arcane: One thing I would like to note, though, is that people that sing along with the songs at the top of their lungs really piss me off.

Which is a good thing, because I really have no tolerance for people like that.
