Probably going to be the last chance to see them in the US. I agree that this will probably be the last time in the US. They are one of my favorite bands of all time. How was Crowded House?

chuckrh Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I was just writing it up. I was too tired yesterday as I had to get up early yesterday for a doctor appointment after getting home at midnight. The show was pretty good. I've seen them better but I chalk that up to it being night 2 of the tour & they didn't quite have the groove on. The new members were excellent with Liam Finn doing an entertaining solo opening set. Show was 2 hours on the button. Here's the setlist from setlist.fm. It looks like they're changing things nightly. PS: I go back with them to the first US tour. Orgia da Malena (Ennio Morricone song) Play Video When You Come Play Video World Where You Live Play Video Life's Imitation (New song) Play Video To the Island Play Video Fall at Your Feet (With band introductions) Play Video Pineapple Head Play Video Show Me the Way Play Video Message to My Girl (Split Enz cover) (Neil solo on keyboards, with Andy Griffith Show Theme whistled snippet) Play Video Goodnight Everyone Play Video Silent House Play Video Private Universe Play Video Four Seasons in One Day (Elroy on stand up drum kit) Play Video Sister Madly (With Rolling Stones’ (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction snippet) Play Video Now We're Getting Somewhere Play Video Whatever You Want (Elroy back to regular kit) Play Video Distant Sun Play Video Don't Dream It's Over Play Video Mean to Me Play Video Something So Strong Play Video Encore: I Got You (Split Enz cover) (Followed by snippet of The Beatles' "Step Inside Love") Play Video Weather With You (With Talking Heads’ “Once in a Lifetime”) Play Video Elephants Play Video Better Be Home Soon 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nalafej Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Caught the last two Feist shows (Radius in Chicago last night & First Ave in Minneapolis Wednesday) - really creative show. On no mind alternating chemicals I was asking myself "is this real" for the first third of the show. I'd recommend catching her this tour even if you are only a very casual fan like me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know why I always go into a Cure concert with modest expectations. They never fail to blow me away. For years I've heard that Robert and the band have an affinity for New Orleans. That seemed apparent last night. I've never seen him so playful and animated on stage. It helped that a friend had an extra ticket on the second row, which gave me a sweet upgrade from my 100-level seat. They had two encores and played 29 songs, two of which hadn't been performed live in decades. My fandom had kinda lapsed over time, but it may have been reignited last night. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a short tour: Boston and NYC. But it was so good. They had strings and a trumpet player. They actually played it back to front because they said the flow was better. One Wilco connection: Joe Pernice talked about each song and he said that the first time he played one of them he was still in the Scud Mountain Boys and they were opening for Wilco in Chicago in 1997. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
