The Frames @ The Fillmore 4/7

[georgewendt]

I'm coming to this one.  I'll be the guy standing motionless in the middle of the floor staring lovingly into Glen's eyes.
 
 Thanks for the heads up on the RSVP link, wizard.
 
 Brennser, tell me more about the dj gig.  Can you play anything you want or do you have some guidelines relative to the band each night?

One of my fave's from the SF show too.  Sounds like it's a staple for the tour.
 
 Of that list I only know that Santa Maria was not played in SF.

[lily1]

smackie, show was about about hour and half, hour and three quarters, yes?
 
 was hey day full band version, or was it a tack on to star star? its rare they do it as a separate song, in fact only time i've heard it is from an australian ep, about a year or so after mic christopher's death.

Is it just me or is the new Frames really disappointing? Glen's voice (from start to finish) sounds like he's moping because someone stole his lunch or his bike. The songs lack melodies and none of them are that memorable...
 
 So how come there is no thread about the Damien Rice concert? ...

[lily1]

damien rice's show in may is seriously going to be lackluster now that lisa hannigan left.

a wonderful song....and so much better live than on fitzcarraldo....every time I hear the intro to it (and the crowd reaction) on 'Setlist' it send shivers up my spine

  You can now  RSVP for the May 3 showing in Georgetown, though this does not guarantee you a seat.

FWIW, I was at the Birchmere a couple of days ago (buying a Knitters ticket!) and they had free passes to this screening sitting by the cash register. Seating is a first come/first serve basis so it may be the same as RSVPing online.

sorry, I only saw this now - in general we are left to our own devices, although there have been instances in the past where a band will make specific requests (usually requests NOT to play a certain genre or style), e.g., Nickel Creek asked me not to play any bluegrass or country before their show

I disagree.  I think Falling Slowly is one of the best songs Glen's written in years and I love both the Swell Season version and The Frames version.  There are a couple of dogs on the album, but all in all, not disappointed.
 
 Now 9 by Damien is a whole different story - TOTALLY disappointed in that one and haven't listened to it in months as a result.  A few songs are gems, but the production on Elephant is terrible, Dogs is quite possibly the worst song he's ever seen fit to record, and Sleep Don't Weep is just Cold Water with different words.  I expected MUCH more after waiting for so friggin long for him to put something new out.

Over 2 hours - they left the stage twice and returned.  Hey Day was tacked on to Star Star.
