bböp Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Told someone I would get this up tonight, so anyway... A fun little gig after the festivities at Prospect Park earlier in the evening. The Manderley Bar turned out to be a neat little space that was sort of like a little cabaret, with small cocktail tables clustered around a tiny stage. This was the AD quartet -- in other words, their regular band with Greg "G. Wiz" Wieczorek on drums and the esteemed James Haggerty on bass (but minus John Pirrucello on guitar.) As you might expect, quite a few musicians were in attendance; among them: Liam Finn and Eliza-Jane Barnes and Kraig Johnson. Nels and Glenn also stopped by to support their bandmates. Nothing too surprising in the setlist for anyone who's seen the AD before, but the band members all seemed genuinely happy to be playing with one another. The "vibe," as Pat might say, was easygoing and relaxed. And any AD set that closes with Big Star's "You Can't Have Me" is a winner in my book. Pat always rips that song on his Telecaster, and G. Wiz does Jody Stephens proud with his drum work.

linclink Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Didn't see the other thread...this one could be deleted... Fun groovy little surprise/secret gig in a great small setting...mostly four piece with John S. on acoustic guitar, & Pat S. on acoustic guitar & piano with a bass player & drummer (will edit in their names later on)...nearer to the end, Pat S. switched to electric guitar & did a few songs there...the harmonies between John & Pat were an absolute highlight...as was the surprise encore covers of "Sentimental Lady" by Fleetwood Mac/Bob Welch & better yet, "You Can't Have Me" by Big Star, which was truly amazing!! And Nels Cline was there, with wife Yuka Honda (of tonight's opening act Cibo Matto)- when Pat was asking if the piano was loud enough...Nels quickly yelled "no" & had his band brother's back, until it was right & got his OK. Nice.Here's the full correct setlist from the other thread...SilenceHuntington FairBack Of My MindWritten In The SnowThe AnswerSimple ExplanationThe Swallows Of London TownFeel You NowSpend Your LifeTuesday MorningEverydayWe Would Never Die----------------------Sentimental Lady [bob -Welch]You Can't Have Me [big Star] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bböp Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Do you know if they will be play somewhere tonight after the Terminal 5 show? Highly doubt it —definitely not with their full band — but you never know... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
