Why Wish Fullfillment...

All Hail WATT · 06.23.2006, 01:26 PM

I know this has prolly been asked before, but I lurked for years, and finally registered, so I figured I would ask a question:

Why has Wish Fullfillment never been played live?
Best SY song ever!!! Maybe cause it's a Lee song?

Much Respect to all on the bored!

BTW, they rocked the shit out of philly last week, can't wait until the Allentown show in Aug. with WEEN and Flaming Lips!

HaydenAsche · 06.23.2006, 01:29 PM

Because I told them not to play it live and they obliged.

dazedcola · 06.23.2006, 01:40 PM

i love this song too, but i just want to hear more lee songs live in general. Anyone notice on this tour he's only been doing one (rats). I gotta fever and the only prescription is more live lee songs!!!!!!!

All Hail WATT · 06.23.2006, 01:44 PM

I need that same prescription filled, stat!

Rob Instigator · 06.23.2006, 01:45 PM

lee did rats, and Eric's Trip last night.

greenlight · 06.23.2006, 04:46 PM

i'm not sure but i think it was played live (what i remember from the thread on old board)...but only once or so

m^a(t)h · 06.23.2006, 05:08 PM

Protect Me You has never been played live.....

habibtheantiamericanbitch · 06.23.2006, 05:08 PM

Lee did Wish Fulfillment on 9-5-00 with Steve and Jim. T and K were MIA on personal business, so Lee did a bunch of his songs. Fantastic stuff!!! i seeded a soundboard of this a while back. PM me if you want it.

also, i must say that Lee must start doing other stuff besides Eric's fukking Trip live!!!! good song, but my least listened to SY song. it's just loud, fast and easy to play live. i know it so well from seeing it 7 times, i could fart it. heck, i'll take what i get from SY. it's guaranteed to be gold!

Yeah they did it the 4th too in DC (or maybe you have the dates mixed up....whatever). I of course was still in line to get into Merriweather. I could kind of hear it, but not that great....just my luck. I did get in when Lee and Steve were doing Parting Ways with Eddie....it was fucking great and loud as hell. I have a copy of that one, but not Wish Fullfillment.

I saw Lee perform this song solo in early '99. It was a show at which he, Kim and Thurston each did a solo set, then they gathered with other musicians to perform material from Goodbye 20th Century, which was released later.

huoxito · 06.23.2006, 09:26 PM

but it's really intrguing the fact they never played this song live together.
i 'm curious to hear all those guitar noises live... but it seems they'll never play it live, why? that is what they have never answered as far as i know

acousticrock87 · 06.23.2006, 09:54 PM

Sometimes people don't play songs they wrote with strong emotions or events attached to them. "Too true sometimes to play all the time." It's possible that it could be a sore spot or something.

Just a thought. Seems like a personal enough song.

dazedcola · 06.23.2006, 10:39 PM

would someone be willing to put up an mp3 of a live version of wish fullfillment ?

I would absoulutely kill for that.

SonikJesus · 06.24.2006, 12:49 PM

Here's a live version of Wishfulfillment. I forgot what show it was from and the date. It's just Lee by himself. If anybody has any info on this show, please tell me.

edit. Sorry, i didn't read the whole thread. That's the one habibtheantiamericanbitch was talking about.

SonikJesus · 06.24.2006, 01:04 PM

Nevermind, I found the info. It's 9/5/00.

acousticrock87 · 06.24.2006, 01:09 PM

Well he just goes and explains it there, too. Excellent.

He's obviously not used to playing the song. I love raw stuff like that.

Trasher02 · 06.24.2006, 01:11 PM

Wish fullfillment...
Is kinda lame

Is that Jim on guitar? I can hear him say 'its not right, sorry'.

acousticrock87 · 06.24.2006, 01:16 PM

Actually now that I think about it, I used to hate the song. I skipped it all the time. It was the first Lee song I heard, too, so I didn't like him at first. I had to listen to it in the right situation to see it, and now it's one of my favorite SY songs. Not a big fan of the CD, though.

Sounded to me like it was just Lee there.
