  1. I'm pretty sick of TTB setlists these last few years. Way too many covers and hardly anything from the first two albums (first one in particular)

    Understand your poin. Matt Mattison singing more would be welcome and I heard A rumor that Kofi sang in NY.

    More of this would be welcome.,as they present as somewhat of an ensemble to me.

  2. Fats Domino, nobody before or since had your style, and that million dollar smile.

    Blueberry Hill, Blue Monday, I'm Walking, Ain't That a Shame and many others, influenced many artist, including The Beatles.

    So glad I saw him in concert as a H.S. kid in late 70s. Rest In Peace.

    Some comments about Blue Monday from Macca prior about writing Lady Madonna..

     

    "It reminded me of Fats Domino for some reason, so I started singing a Fats Domino impression. It took my other voice to a very odd place.”

     

    While Fats Domino's 1956 track “Blue Monday” charts the feelings of a hard working male across each day of the week, “Lady Madonna” - which was released as a single in March 1968 - tells the same story but through the eyes of a woman.

  3. WRP while I think it would have been nice to get down to NYC and catch some of the guests. It would have been potluck to get who you were interested in. I'm hoping for a wider variety of the setlists' ( than last time) in the 3 nights we are getting in Boston. Just saw (on YouTube) them cover Tom Petty last night Last Dance w/ MJ > Susan did an admiriable job on the Harp although a bit nervous she did an outstanding job on the guitar and vocals. Could have actually let the crowd carry the chorus .. that's how well received it was.

  4. Was Beth Hart with him?

    Wishing she was, he needs a singer to provide balance, for that excellent guitar. Have seen Beth Hart and her band prior, very talented. Somewhere is a great vid w/ Bonamssa & Grace Potter crushing a Neil Young song.
  5. Bouncing Souls, RANCID and DROPKICKS at theBrockton Fairgrounds

    This show was a perfect setting, a true blue collar City

    Unlike the city of Boston anymore

    It's a city that was home to the Original Rocky..

    Champion Heavyweight Boxer Rocky Marciano

    All the bands tore through their sets in front of a sellout.

    A good night, with Rancid and Dropkicks playing the last 3 together,most memorable was Folsom Prison Blues.

    " appreciative of being able to hear the tunes that will probably be lost from the roster on the next cycle (ALTWYS, Someday Soon, Reservations, and my fave You Are My Face) and to get a second listen to the way some of the live alterations make the songs burn white hot (Locator, ALTWYS, BBN ((best version)), I'm Always in Love, RNG). What a great time! "

     

    Totally agree especially your main point that these songs will not be in the heavy rotation on a new album tour.

     

    It was one of the most Uptempo Rock Setlists I've seen them play in the last 12 years or so.

     

    Liked this venue First Timer

     

    Lucky for you locals that Wilco has now an ambassador living in Portland.

     

    So dam glad I made the drive. People were so relaxed in the Pit if you will. An occasional buzzed group would snake up but I didn't see any real problem and the food&beer were great.

     

    Footnote ; I have been to my share of shows in many states but the Recycling Effort at that venue Is the Best I have seen.

    Hope they hit the Orpheum in Boston late Winter ..

     

    Have a great summer folks.
