bböp Posted yesterday at 03:57 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:57 PM Complete setlist, as played: Western Clear Skies Betrayed One Tiny Flower Caught Up In The Past Cry Baby Cry Forever Never Ends This Is How It Ends Low Key Evergreen Mirror Stray Cats In Spain Out In The Dark KC Rain (No Wonder) New Orleans Guess Again Feel Free Lou Reed Was My Babysitter Amar Bharati World Away Half-Asleep --------------------------------------------- Twilight Override Diamond Light Pt.1 Helpless [Neil Young; recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young] Enough Number of Twilight Override songs played (out of 30): 17. “Special” song: Helpless, by Neil Young. This was kind of an obvious choice, since it's by a Canadian legend and is a song that this lineup has covered relatively often in recent years with Sammy Tweedy taking lead vocals. Still, it was the first time the band had performed it in in Canada and it must have had added resonance there. Support report: Macie Stewart, playing solo electric. I saw an Instagram video clip of Macie being joined by her friend Karen Ng — they played together in Canadian indie band The Weather Station — on saxophone on a newer Macie song that she was calling Cold/Love/Friend when it was first written last year (though that title might have since changed). Venue vibes: Located within a century-old Masonic temple, The Concert Hall is an event space that holds up to 700 and is known for its fine acoustics. It's unclear if the wooden floor has anything to do with that, but it certainly gives the space a handsome look. It appears from photos that the room was set up for this show as standing general admission on the floor, though there were also some seats available in the balcony. Bits of tid, including Banter Corner: This show kicked off with the second-ever live performance (and first in the Twilight Override era) of Western Clear Skies, which I hadn't realized — or had forgotten — was played during the Tweedy and Friends set at Solid Sound 8 last summer. Looking at some photos of the show, it appears that the stage setup remained the same as the previous show in Three Oaks, Mich., with Sammy behind his synth table at stage left, Sima and Macie together to Jeff's right and Liam remaining at far stage right. Eventually this stage plot will change, but not yet. I'm pretty sure that Susie was in attendance at this show — I believe she has some family in Toronto — which might explain the inclusion of Guess Again on the setlist. One blurb accompanying a YouTube clip of Feel Free and Lou Reed Was My Babysitter that I read mentioned Jeff saying "he had been growing (the members of his band) in his terrarium." Perhaps Susie being there in person gave Jeff some pause at joking about growing Spencer and Sammy in his body, as he sometimes does when he can't get in immediate trouble. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
