jasonkokenge Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I saw them about 10 years ago in Los Angeles. It was an incredible show. They are playing tonight at "The Coach House" in Orange County Calif. Any VC members planning on being there??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pnêyu Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I saw them a week ago in San Francisco--hot damn, great band, great show, GREAT TUNES! I had almost forgotten that Karl Wallinger is such an amazing songwriter. It was great to see his health has returned; you wouldn't have known he suffered any setbacks, judging by his onstage presence. I hope their next hiatus doesn't last as long. I was going to suggest you catch the opener Elvis Perkins, but I see the Australian legend Paul Kelly is opening instead. He's definitely worth checking out too.

Goodbye Jumbo was a GREAT album!! So many wonderful songs. I can only hope Karl plays a few songs off that album. Looking forward to Sweet Soul Dream! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glad to read these recommendations, I will be venturing out alone for this tomorrow nite. Goodbye Jumbo was my favorite album in ninth grade! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pnêyu Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Sam, I did the solo thing too and ended up having a wonderful time. You'll be quite young for the crowd, if the show here is any indication! Speaking of, the gig in SF was being audio- and videotaped (gotta love the Great American Music Hall), so hopefully some footage will surface at some point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Thanks to Drew for the Hollywood show!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Steve Brule Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Uyen, you were right, I was the youngest EXCEPT for this like 17 year old kid who stood next to me and kept asking the band tech questions DURING THE SHOW. Great setlist though, all the hits, most of Goodbye Jumbo. I really need to spend some time with Dumbing Up, I got distracted by the DVD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
