...I dreamt you cut off all your bass.



Last night's Sawyer Point show, headlined:

Headline: Mike's out, Wade's in.
Weather: Soggy earth, dry humor.
Fashion:  Envy that Over the Rhine green.

Setlist: (Sawyer Point)
Faithfully Dngr. / Tumbleweeds / Seahorse + Coda / All I Need / EveryJan's Daughter / I Will Remember / Moth / Whatever You Say / Anyway / Poughkeepsie / And Can It Be / Goodbye / (listed break)
Jack's Valentine / Lucy / Latter Days / (listed break) / Go Down Easy
These were listed as "Acoustic Possibilities:" Rhapsodie / P&V / LaR / My Funny Valentine

Random notes:
It's official I guess.  The big bad Mike man is out.  It seems he wanted to pursue more jazz oriented stuff, and the decision seems mutual and they are great friends.

Wade Janes is from Nashville, knew the band for awhile, and was called in on Sunday to play this show.  He has hair.  Seems nice.  Perhaps a surreal moment for him was when Scott and Mike Ulrich and I were saying his name aloud on the stage after the show, and he was right behind us.

Karin looked militant in semi-camouflage style pants and a grey T.  Nikki wore black.  Down to the skin.  Jack looked like Ric Ocasek (says Damian, I agree) in some hawaiian print green shirt.  Linford wore lime.  Nik, Karin, Jack and Wade wore shades.

A fellow listee picked up lyrics to I Will Remember.  Perhaps he/she can be persuaded to post...  Poughkeepsie was played with an even slower tempo than the album version.  They played without the first break, then the crowd rushed "down and front" for the "GD Easy" encore.

I love the Eno/Edge-style guitar break on "Moth".  I really like this song.  Scott thinks they sing "Jesus" in the chorus, I thought I heard "Savior".  Could be both.  Stay tuned.  "Anyway" kinda sticks with me too for a new slow tempo song, much more than "Dead Weight" and the ilk of that did when they played them live pre-GDBD(tHR).  Jack played a nice loud feedback-y melancholy add to the end of "I Will Remember".

That's about it.
