ms. yvon Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 ok. i don't have it together enough to gather my thoughts enough except to say: i love seeing this band live! SO MUCH SOUND for just two men. danced my socks off.brandon sound checked an acoustic guitar, but didn't play it. hmm.spaceland was packed, which was fab. i was in the front row and blinded by a rogue spot light over the stage. i didn't keep a set list. i'm going to see them again on thursday, so maybe i'll keep one then. the openers butchers and builders were terrific, too! i even had a chance to play a pair of pot lids during one song. ruckus!

ms. yvon Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 helio sequence, detroit bar 2.28.2008 -lately-can't say no--woo! -captive mind-don't look away-let it fall apart-harmonica song-shed your love--"this is the electric version"-you can come to me-keep your eyes ahead--"off the BAL-CO-NYYYYY!"-everyone knows everyone-hallelujah--"we don't want answers anyway"-(square)bubbles________-tomorrow never knows--"this one's for the die hards" the bar was pretty full and in good spirits after the builders and butches set. (again with the pot lids!) couple o' notes: the music from "keep your eyes ahead" sounds terrific live! i was trying to pick a couple of stand outs, but all of them were gorgeous. "can't say no" bust open the show after "lately." "hallelujah" was huge! brandon s. intro'd "shed your love" and a guy in the crowd asked where the acoustic guitar was, brandon s. answered with a laugh, "this is the electric version." the case for the the acoustic on stage, but the guitar never got taken out. ben w. broke out some brushes for this song. they must be gauging crowds on the road to see where they can play the acoustic numbers. the same guy kept calling out a request for sassafras. finally benjamin w. told him, "i don't even have it on this computer anymore." maybe someday they'll travel with a giant media drive... after (square...) the bar mostly emptied out. how this happens, i'll never know. the band did come back out and play "tomorrow" which is just a killer live. the new record is so beautiful. i just haven't made up my mind if it's heartbreakingly sad or heartbreakingly hopeful.sounds like they will tour again in the summer. woohoo! everytime i see them i just want to see them again the next day. i'm hoping that after the record's been out awhile they'll bust out "no regrets." they could have done it with builders & the butchers helping to sing along...
