bböp Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Well, Brooklyn celebrated (and was celebrated)... By my count, the band came on at 8:16 and finished a couple minutes past curfew at 10:33. A relatively quiet opening third of the show eventually developed into a fun, loose and rockin' second half. The complete setlist, as played, for Night 2 at Prospect Park (a *much* lovelier night weather-wise, btw, than Night 1): I MightMisunderstoodSide With The SeedsPot Kettle BlackHummingbirdBlack MoonSpiders (Kidsmoke) (acoustic arrangement)Impossible GermanyBorn Alone>Wishful ThinkingLaminated Cat (aka Not For The Season) (electric arrangement)Say You Miss MeI Must Be HighWhole LoveNothing'severgonnastandinmyway(again)Radio CureArt Of AlmostDawned On MeA Shot in the Arm-----------------------------------Via ChicagoAirline To HeavenWalkenI'm The Man Who Loves YouMonday>Outtasite (Outta Mind)-----------------------------------Kingpin ("livin' in Brooklyn")Hoodoo Voodoo (w/ bass/guitar/keyboard tech Josh on cowbell) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JAK2112 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Livin in Brooklyn! Kingpin was fantastic! Say You Miss Me was also a great treat. Those two were easily the highlights of this show. Nice to see a show where they left out most of the "hits" (IATTBYH, Jesus, Handshake Drugs, Heavy Metal Drummer), and still no W(TA) is fine by me. Jeff noted that it still smelled like bacon. Also of note, both nights, there were people running back and forth in the photographer area b/w the stage and the crowd, bringing food to the VIP area on stage left, and Jeff noted that it "was like the Ho Chi Min trail... man i'm hungry". He looked like he was having a really fun time tonight, letting the audience sing parts of lots of songs, including outtasite and hummingbird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo Jones Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I liked this show better than last night because of the setlist. I'm hoping for another different set tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm good catching him a few times on this tour, but...if Nels is sitting in on a regular basis, then I'd try to catch all of his opening sets for those 4-5 (& let's be honest, it almost certainly going to be 5) remaining shows for me.

bböp Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Is Nels playing with him on a regular basis on this tour? Yes, Nels has been sitting in with Lee's band regularly on this run thus far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-seven Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Lee's band was kind of boring. Everything they played kept reminding me of songs from the 90's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 A few other nerdy show notes that I remembered after shaking out the cobwebs this morning: *During the intro to Monday, Nels put a couple of "Ban Fracking Now" stickers on himself (and later one on his guitar). Obviously it's a cause that he feels strongly about — along with his wife and a lot of their friends — so that was cool to see.*Jeff broke a string on Laminated Cat from, er, vigorous strumming. He used to break strings all the time, but I can't remember the last time he did it.*As I think I noted a few days ago, it seems like they've very subtly rearranged Arline To Heaven a bit so that Nels is playing electric guitar throughout and no lap steel. I might be in the minority (or just among the few who noticed) but I sort of miss that twangy touch that the lap steel adds to the song. We'll see how long this particular arrangement lasts.*I didn't get a look at a printed setlist, but they definitely audibled out of something at the start of the second encore. I think it might have been A Magazine Called Sunset based on the combination of guitars they originally had out. I heard that the encores were at least somewhat different than what was on the printed list (for example, I heard Dreamer In My Dreams was on there), but perhaps someone who got a setlist can chime in on that.

JAK2112 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Guitar Notes: I noticed Jeff was playing a (seemingly) really small Rickenbacker with 3 pickups for I Must Be High that i had never seen him play before (might have been a ric 370). He seems to be liking those, Jeff's using rickenbackers for more and more songs recently. Nels also was using a Gibson Firebird for a few songs, which I had never seen him use before. And for the second encore, it looks like they had Nels 12 string and Jeff's acoustic set up before switching them out for the guitars they used for Kingpin. As Jeff said "We're only playing this one 'cas it rhymes". Definitely seemed like an audible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andyday Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 It's not a Firebird. It's his Bilt Norton Wisdom guitar... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smells like flowers Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 In case anybody cares, here was the Lee Ranaldo Band setlist from last night (I'm really digging their set the more I see it and get to know the songs):I really enjoyed the Lee Randaldo Band, too. They reminded me a lot of REM circa Fables of the Reconstruction - especially Lee's voice. The songs had a lot of darkness and melancholia mixed in with the rock. I went as far as buying the CD and it's holding up okay. Bonus that it reminds me of Wilco in all last week's glory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yaz Rock Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 A few samples 'til I can work on the whole tape (not soon) or until someone else gets a tape up (maybe soon?) Wishful Thinking, Not For The Seasons, Say You Miss Me 7/24/12 (MP3) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAK2112 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 It's not a Firebird. It's his Bilt Norton Wisdom guitar... Nah, it was different from the Norton Wisdom guitar. Brown Firebird (non-reverse maybe?), you can sort of see it in this cell phone video somebody posted of I Must Be High, it's on youtube, just search must be high prospect park EDIT: Looks like it could be the same model as this one: http://www.guitarcenter.com/In-Store-Used-USED-2006-GIBSON-CST-SHOP-NON-REVERSE-FIREBIRD-VINTAGE-SUNBURST-WC-107966886-i2627231.gc?&source=4WWRWXGP&cagpspn=pla&= Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I couldn't be more blown away! That trio of NYC shows is something that I hope will be a precedent. Like the five they did last December in Chicago. I hope these are half as much fun for them as they are for the die-hard faithful, & I hope it continues...words fail, so I'll let the list of songs they performed do the talking...I count 63 different songs (with some performed more than once, but not that many)...let me know if I missed any, miscounted or otherwise messed up & I'll jump in & edit & correct it... but otherwise, here, appears to be that list...

gr8fulpete Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 There was definitely an audible in the encores section. They went directly according to the script until the first encore break. After that, the printed setlist had:___________________ViaAirlineMagazineWalkenMan___________________PassengerKingpinDreamer I loved seeing the Hoodoo Voodoo finish, so the tradeoff was worth it for me.

As Jeff said "We're only playing this one 'cas it rhymes". Definitely seemed like an audible.I'm almost certain that it was a Fireglo (cherry sunburst in Rickenbackerese) Rickenbacker 350 (the full length version of the old stalwart Rickenbacker 325 made famous by John Lennon), & it had f-hole cutout, rather than a cat's eye one (the f-hole cut-outs usually came on British versions- at least way back when & I much prefer the cat's eye cut outs myself) & it was a 3 pick-up version (which is why I'm betting you were betting on a 370)I remember taking notice myself...seeing Wilco borders on guitar porn...tons of guitar changes, but if any band deserved to do that, it's them...and it makes it more fun, both visually & sonically...don't think I saw this guitar at any other time on this tour, except this night, on this song...This thread has some similar pics...http://www.rickresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=192202&start=210 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
