Travis
Webster Hall
September 23rd

Travis is the best.  Me don’t be needing to tell you how one of their concerts would goesz, considering I saw two of the dudes without the other two dudes and it ended up being third greatestest concert I had ever seen.  They have a new album out. It’s Travis-y lite.  Less rocking, but still solid stuff

here’s the…

Setlist – Mother / Sing / Selfish Jean / Pipe Dreams / Moving / Love Will Come Through / Driftwood / Warning Sign / Re-Offender / Where You Stand / My Eyes / Reminder / Side / Writing To Reach You / Closer / Slide Show / Blue Flashing Light / Turn 

Encore - Good Feeling  / Flowers in the Window (Acoustic) / All I Want To Do Is Rock / Why Does It Always Rain On Me? / Mother (played again for a music video recording) 

anywho, there be two things I really want to make note of…

1) bassist Dougie Payne is married to Kelly Macdonald, who is on Boardwalk Empire.  guess who was at the show supporting Mr Macdonald?  None other than castmates Steve Buscemi and Jack Huston (who makes rubber face man still look pretty).  I’d do all of these people.  so would you

and

2) speaking of Dougie Payne, apparently he’s gone with a more mature hairdo these days, going up with his locks instead of down, and now he looks exactly like a younger, happier version of one of my MOIST flavorite non-speaking 1 second characters to ever appear on The Office – the Michael Scott mnemonically nicknamed ‘Lazy Eye’ fella in the ‘Lecture Circuit‘ episode (couldn’t find the name of the actual actor, so if you are this actor and you are reading this, hello, I love you, now won’t you tell me your name)

Beck
Prospect Park Bandshell
August 5th

Beck, five years of no shows between shows you’ve shown me is unacceptable.  You need to play for me every year, or every two years, and I’d even settle for every three years.  I love you Beck.  We all do, all us 30 somethingers who you won over when you gave the world ‘Loser’, and pretty much every song you’ve gaven us since then, even the loud annoying ones that sound like mucous ruckus.  When the dust settles in the decades to come, and McCartney and the Stones and Robert Plant and all those other rock gawds are gone, it will be juss you and Jack White to pass as our neo-rock gawds.  But don’t worry, you don’t need to pass as a rock gawd cause you is one.  We bow

Your back catalog is purty darn hefty, and we re-did our homework on you cause it had been awhile since we listened to ALL yer albums, and you know what, we’re f#$%ing stupid for not listening to them albums always cause they are forever.  You are forever.  You are strange and weird. Who releases an album as sheet music and has other people play it?  It’s genius, but I can’t read music and don’t want to hear other people play your music (well, mostly), but I wouldn’t care if you release music in a balloon that you could only hear once when deflated. Wait, have you tried that yet??

Your show at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Bandshell couldn’t have been more perfecter – the weather especially, but you have no control over the weather.  The rest that you had control over was even more perfecter (see that setlist), although you should have played for 4 hours, or at least added a second night, or played Midnite Vultures from top the bottom, considering you didn’t play a single song from it, and it’s one of the 90s’ best albums, but all yer albums are the best albums, although we still think Sea Change kinda blows cause it was no Mutations, oh wait you also played ZERO MUTATIONS songs at this concert and yer concert was STILL amazing

setlist - Devil’s Haircut / Black Tambourine / Soul of a Man / One Foot in the Grave / Modern Guilt / Think I’m in Love / Gamma Ray / Loser / Hotwax / Que Ondo Guero / Girl / Soldier Jane / Chemtrails / The Golden Age / Lost Cause / Everybody’s Got to Learn Sometime (The Korgis cover) / Just Noise / Heaven’s Ladder / Fourteen Rivers Fourteen Floods / Sissyneck -> Billie Jean (Michael Jackson cover) 

encore - E-Pro / here it’s at (Extended Remix)

on November 20, 1973, The Who were opening their Quadrophenia US concert tour at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California. about seventy minutes into the show, drummer Keith Moon passed out on stage (apparently he had consumed large tranquilizer pills, meant to be shot at animals, with a large volume of brandy). then Pete Townshend asked the crowd, ‘can anyone play the drums?’ 19-year-old audience member Scot Halpin answered the call, became a member of The Who for a night, then disappeared into rock n roll obscurity/legend/history. ammazin’
