twigboyjoe Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Not quite as good as Wilco last week but still pretty damn shit hot! Had the feel of an 'open mic' at times which should've been nicer than it was but venue kinda swamped it a bit. Didn't see Wilco at Troxy so don't know what folk thought then but personally I wasn't that fussed on it as a venue last night. Drummer (forget his name, forgive me) did a good job when called upon and sang a lovely song - Just To Know What You've Been Dreaming - whih was a pleasant surprise. Jim / Yim just blows me away every time I see him. Seen Conor on better form with MVB but still impressive and great to hear some rare Bright Eyes songs. M Ward I like but hadn't seen before and he was mighty impressive too. Star of the show has to be Mogis though, unbelievable!! Stellar work on the pedal steel, mandolin and extra guitar...something else! Ripped the setlist of the MOF board cos if I'm honest, I'd p'raps had a bit too much beer to remember it all in order 1. Say Please2. The Right Place3. Soul Singer In A Session Band4. Slow Down Jo5. Man Named Truth6. Lullaby + Exile7. We Are Nowhere And It's Now8. The Big Picture9. Golden10. Ahead of the Curve11.

stooka Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thanks for your thoughts on the show (and the setlist). I was impressed with Mike Mogis as well! What precision! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
W(TF) Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Awesome. Really starting to regret that I missed these guys here last month. But I blew my so-called concert budget on Wilco and then David Gray (both also at Massey Hall), so I can't really complain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
