Not sure if I'll be able to make it to your fair city, but I've heard such great things about the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss show that I'd definitely like to check it out.

Totally agree with you on Islip, Joyce. Why do you think I'm in Chicago so often? (Didn't mean to hijack the thread.)

I think I'm going to try to make the NYC date this Sunday, but I wish I could get to the party at the Hideout next week. Sam, you're going, right? Read about it here: Rabbit Factory Southern Soul Revue

It's listed on Wilcoworld: Jeff Tweedy solo dates

In addition to the covers they did the first night, they also played "Paint It Black" (which they obviously covered on the Crazy Rhythms record) and an instrumental by, I think they said, Jonathan Richman (though I definitely could be wrong about that). I'm sure I'm leaving something else out, another Velvets cover maybe. Anyway, I personally enjoyed the version of Patti Smith's "Dancing Barefoot" that they reprised from Night 1. In terms of Feelies material, they played similar (although not identical) sets to the first night -- ending the first set with "Crazy Rhythms" and the second with

They did play two sets. Went on about 9:20 p.m. and finished the first set at about 10:05. Then took about a half-hour break before coming back for the second set, plus two encores. They did play a couple of new songs, which sounded really good. As you could see from the tape, the second set featured a lot of covers (which was fine by me). "She Said She Said," which they actually recorded, I believe, sounded great, as did "Barstool Blues."

I went last night and am headed there again tonight. It was my first time seeing them, of course, since I was about 12 when they last played. And while I can't say I had a nostalgic love affair with them like many of the other people (dudes, mostly) there last night, they were pretty damn great to see live. The quote in the NY Times piece about their old manager wondering if they'd explode on stage was very apt. And maybe it's just the tiny size of the room (or the fact that I was standing directly in front of the stack at stage left), but they were loud! I spotted Craig Finn of the Hold S

Happy belated Canada Day, Judy and Tualla and other wonderful Canadians! Hope it was a spectacular one... Can we get a YouTube clip of Hinterland Who's Who, or something Judy?

Sorry I missed you, man. Check yr PMs.

They must be playing indoors at Stubb's. I can't imagine them playing the big outdoor stage since it's 1) huge and 2) surely going to be hot as hell.

Not Rufus! RIP, Mr. Carlin.

Damn, that is a shock. He did always seem to be the voice of reason in a way, especially with the turbulent elections in 2000 and 2004. That's a shame.

Has anyone? (I kid, I kid.) I'm sure they'll be playing Jones Beach soon enough.

FYI, it seemed to work fine using a Mac. And Mart, Evonne's gonna be in town June 20-21, I think. I think you guys have a private gig June 21, but correct me if I'm wrong...

This might be the best post ever (and by best, I mean.....not best). Spam?

Cool! Great that you made it to see Mart, and that you decided to go talk to him too. He's about the nicest guy you could meet and his all-original shows are fantastic. Did you stay for the "headlining" set by ex-Spin Doctors frontman Chris Barron, by any chance? Matt, next you've got to make it to one of the Campfire shows at Slane (Tuesdays), Prohibition (Wednesdays) or the Red Lion (Sundays)!

It's on the calendar! Have a great show this weekend, Dave! Can't wait to see you guys.

Yo yo Martino! Hope you have a great day! I know it got off to a good start, anyway...mmm crepes. Here's hoping those Metropolitans turn it around for you!

a/k/a The Bouncing Girls Brigade.

i think it's already taken... seriously, though, i hope the drive back wasn't too painful. it was *great* to see you guys!

Hope you have an awesome day, Tamala!

Yeah, I mean looking over the setlist, I realize that I've seen most of those songs played live. But kind of in the same spirit as the Wilco Residency, to have them tackle those two albums as complete albums, played live in their intended sequence, would really have been something. Now if they ever do The River in complete form, fuhgeddaboutit. That would be tremendous. Seems like Danny Federici's death has really spurred something in Bruce these last couple of weeks. I mean, I don't know that they weren't already planning on doing Darkness and BtR for this benefit before Danny passed, but
