tinnitus photography Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hmm, sounds familiar... OCB, sounds like a solid RH show... i've never been disappointed. this can't be the whole set list, can it?http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/robyn-hitchcock/2014/arts-at-the-armory-somerville-ma-2bcc547a.html btw, "NY Doll" is such an awesome song.

No - that's definitely missing a bunch of songs - including Tanya Donelly's initial appearance. I'd have to think about what else is missing. It was a fairly long show. He started a little after 7:00 and his main set finished about 8:40. With encores we walked out of the venue about 9:00. Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 according to a friend:The last two songs with Tanya before the encore: Tanya:"Untogether" (Belly) "Sweet Ghost of Light" (from RH's "Eye")And the first three encores with Tanya: "Crystal Ship" (Doors), "River Man." (Nick Drake), and "The Bees" (Belly). Link to post Share on other sites

badu2fan Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I'm really psyched, as this is the first chance I've had to catch her live.How was Miss Emmylou? Seen her many times through the years. First time was when she opened for Willie Nelson and Jimmy Carter was in attendance. They are doing a special show for her in DC at DAR Constitution Hall in January with all the folks she has influenced and played with over the years. http://songsofemmylou.com/about.phpwould be a wonderful show to see IMO> Tickets are a little steep but I am sure will be worth while or wait to see it on DVD!

Sorry for the late reply, just saw this. She was very good, although the ticket price was a bit high. The setlist made me happy, as she did not perform a lot of obscurities. I think there were only about 3 or 4 songs I didn't know. She does not do Boulder to Birmingham at every show, so I was pleased that she did that for an encore. Also did nice versions of Pancho & Lefty and Sin City, both of which I love. Was hoping for Pancho, never even considered she would do Sin City (which I have loved since I discovered Uncle Tupelo's cover of it). Great show overall. Link to post Share on other sites

I got to see one of her Landmine benefits where they just sat in circle jamming. Bruce Cockburn Steve Earle etc. She is a lovely lady and performer. Wish I could go to the evening of emmylou but tickets are pretty steep as well. Link to post Share on other sites

uncool2pillow Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I saw him open for Ryan Adams a month or so ago. He played that song. Many years ago, I'd seen the Pretenders in the same venue. He started off very slow, but when his band came out, he played 3 or 4 really solid songs. Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Same here. Pretty excited about it! Whoa, what was going on in the orchestra? We were in second row of balcony and couldn't tell. Is Ryan always that way with his stage talk? First time seeing him. Some serious cursing at an audience member. The music was fantastic.

Is Ryan always that way with his stage talk? First time seeing him. Some serious cursing at an audience member. The music was fantastic. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk During any quiet moment someone would yell "c'mon" or "play!" or something else to that effect. He'd get irritated because he "just played 13 songs in 48 minutes." While he was cursing at anyone who yelled at him, he didn't seem genuinely pissed... Which was good. I thought he was amazing. My only criticism of his set was that the pacing felt very strange. By the end of the set I was ready for it to be over. He played great songs, and the band was tight, but we lost some momentum at crucial points. Butch Walker could be the worst lyricist of all time. He has a nice voice, but man... tough to take that seriously. Also, why would DRA have a DRA impersonator open for him? I will say that Ryan's merch is simultaneously the dumbest and most awesome merch I've seen in a long while. My girlfriend got a shirt that says "choose cats" on the front and "ryan adams" on the back. Link to post Share on other sites
