also, i suspect relearning all of daydream lessened the chances of them relearning more 'old' tunes for a while...

Or it might not.. Maybe they'll realize how easy it was relearning these songs, and how much fun they had playing them? As for what songs they play live, I know the Steve and Thurston make the setlists, but maybe that's just from night to night. The whole band probably has a say in what songs they'll bring with them on tour.

I also read that Theresa's Soundworld is one of Steve's fav's, so don't blame him for them not playing it these days.

Chris is dead wrong, I have personally seen the band light candles and consult the Ouija for the set lists..

Oh, I know who to blame.

I was surprised when I saw Steve writing up the set list in "This is Known as a Blues Scale", I never realized that was his handwriting! That was also the first time I discovered that "Orange Rolls" had the working title of "HYPER II" on that tour, so perhaps they thought it sounded like Hyperstation...?

(btw, people know most of 'blues scale' has leaked, right?)

Chris, do you have any idea why they stopped playing pretty much all of Washing Machine & Leaves or is that a mystery?

I saw all of it at ATP NY, had no idea about the leakage though.

thanks ^

nice.

Cool, my ratio on onemoresolo is very poor.

Thanks again :)

Absolutely.

Why'd they stop playing pretty much all of Confusion Is Sex, Bad Moon Rising, EVOL, Goo, Dirty, Jet Set, Ghosts & Flowers, Murray Street, or Nurse? It's what they do!

Have you heard the version from Portland on the Nurse tour? It may be best if they let it rest...

Good point!

you can hear the song here:

i'm going to upload the whole show (audio) to ingrams site, i also have the video for this but it's 6.5GB so it'd take ages to upload

its cuz the Ouija said so...



It said, "progress forward as musicians, play new material, forget the back catalogue.."

Thanks stu! Can't wait to hear the full gig.

They have to play the most recen tracks off of their latest album s they can sell copies of it. That is just an industry thing to do...

And yes even the Youth do that..

like any band who writes music because they love it, they are eager to share their new compositions with the world night after night. they enjoy it, it's fresh, it's fun. they don't generally have an hour and a half of new material, so they throw some old songs that they still have fun playing, or are crowd pleasers, or whatever...

re: karenology portland '04, i think they do an amazing segue into it from pattern recognition and then thurston, i guess, forgets how to play karen's intro, it's actually kind of hilarious---steve tries to compensate and lee just seems amused/confused... i forget if they pull it together or not. they burn into new hampshire afterwards, which is sick...

uuuh shaking hell i guess cuz thurston was on bass for 'rats' and they didn't want to torture us w/ my friend goo

this is the most i've posted in a long time (maybe four posts today haha). have you recieved any 'almost played' lists lately, chris?

nah, nobody tells me anything anymore. as always, i heard murmurs of failed attempts at 'theresa' and thurston mentioned that they were giving 'dirty boots' a shot in some interview...

like i just mentioned in another thread, i think that the time spent relearning the daydream songs is time they would've spent relearning a random group of older tunes (if they even had any interest -- certainly not 14 of em!!). 'stereo sanctity' seems to be the oddity of the post-Daydream revival. and i guess 'death valley', although it still feels like just yesterday that they were burning that one nightly on the 'leaves' tour...
