Bull Black Nova is a drag.

I can definitely understand the setlist in context to the other shows. The lyric was the other show that I saw, and I thought it was terrific. Maybe it was because I was far back in the balcony and having to sit during the show? I was just pumped to be able to be that close and rock out in an atmosphere that wasn't so "formal".

I have to say that by only attending one other show this week, I was a little disappointed at the pacing of the set list. There were a ton of great songs played last night. Most of which I've never heard live. I just felt like there was a real anticipation and energy in the crowd before the show, and that energy kind of died by the slow tempo of the entire set. A good show, but I was expecting a bring down the house finale for a week of hometown shows.

Hang in there and keep trying, it took me about ten minutes to get a pair in the balcony

Agreed. I can remember being in the balcony at the auditorium in 2004 and told these 2 women to shut up.

Gotta be, especially in Chicago. Better not be a bunch of tools talking during the show and checking their phones every 2 seconds.

I'll be so pissed if I don't get tix. How many people does the lyric hold?

That was a bustout. How are these tix selling out so fast?

me too?? this sucks.

Amazing show last night. Jeff and the whole band were having so much fun, and so was I. The setlist really flowed well.

Anyone have any photos to share, I just want to remember that special night

1. Stay Positive

2. Joke About Jamaica

3. Slapped Actress

4. Sequestered in Memphis

Otherwise this album is trying too hard to be melodic. They're still one of the best live bands out there today.

How's about a holiday pm?

Could someone help a brother out with a link or a pm?

Great article from the Suntimes. Way to expose this jerkoff. As a die-hard Cub fan, reading this article made me sick.

I was out of town last week as well. If anyone could PM me with the album I will be your friend.

Badly Drawn Boy aka Damon Gough

at Metro last night. Anyone else there? What a great live band! Their energy and hard drinking was infectious!

I saw Cat Power at the Vic last Wednesday night. Half of the show was amazing, the other half was a total trainwreck. She was amazing with the Memphis Band. When she went solo the show just took a weird turn. She wasn't making any sense, starting and stopping songs. I feel that there was definitely an audience of people there just to see the sideshow. "Lived in Bars" was totally amazing, and about 45 minutes later I was wondering who the bi polar broad on stage was. I felt bad for the band. You could tell they were visibly pissed when they came back out to perform with her. She's a great talent, but totally insane.

I can't really believe that none of these bands haven't helped him out at all. The guy from the Redwalls wishes him well, how about a couple bucks. I'm really kind of disgusted by the whole article. He's a decent poet who's become a novelty. How many people have been to a show and heard him read a poem, and not many understood what he was saying, but some dumb fuck starts cheering because he's known as "the weird guy who reads poetry before indie rock shows". I feel sorry for him, but I guess I don't feel any more sorry for him than any other destitute person. I feel that he's kind of been made a mockery of by the bands that let him go on stage.
