Upcoming Shows

[kvnty]

So X were wonderful last night. The original band members haven't missed a beat and sounded just like their records - in other words, ah-mazing! This was the 2nd of four gigs at The Roxy covering their first four albums (which are the only ones that really matter). Heard Wild Gift in its entirety and then two encores of tracks from their other three albums on tour. Actually creamed a little in my jeans during Adult Books. I highly recommend seeing them perform Under the Big Black Sun tonight or More Fun in the New World on Sunday if you can swing it. I almost quit my job to see these shows because of a weekend work conflict.

They're doing Los Angeles in Hartford on 8/29 (maybe) and playing ??? on 8/26 at the Sinclair in Cambridge on 8/26 (going).

They're doing the four night album plays in LA, NYC, Chicago, and Cleveland.

Boston would sell this out. This is bullshit.

Cleveland?

They sold out The Roxy four nights in a row - some tickets were recently released but think those are gone now, too. This one album per night (plus an encore of hits and rarities) is such a FANtastic idea and is what propelled me to finally see one of my favorite bands (can't believe last night was my first time - no longer an X live virgin, he he). Heard their single night shows are going to be acoustic. Not a fan of acoustic sets, especially from a band as sonic as X. I would drive to Hartford if I were you IF they are in fact playing Los Angeles in its entirety. You'll get a baker's dozen more songs not from that album at the end. God, I wish I could go tonight and tomorrow (would give my left testicle to get out of work). They really do sound and look great for a band whose members are 60 ish.

Here's the near-perfect setlist from last night:

1.The Once Over Twice
2.We're Desperate
3.Adult Books
4.Universal Corner
5.I'm Coming Over
6.It's Who You Know
7.In This House That I Call Home
8.Some Other Time
9.White Girl
10.Beyond and Back
11.Back 2 the Base
12.When Our Love Passed Out on the Couch
13.Year 1

Encore:
14.Drunk in My Past
15.Breathless (Otis Blackwell cover)
16.The Hungry Wolf
17.How I (Learned My Lesson)
18.Real Child of Hell
19.Nausea
20.Johnny Hit and Run Paulene
21.Motel Room in My Bed
22.Soul Kitchen (The Doors cover)

Encore 2:
23.I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts
24.Poor Girl
25.Because I Do
26.Devil Doll

Mac Demarco was wild as always last night.

[superfan]

possibly playing Hard Day of the Dead for LA date on this run.

Because fyf doesnt make more sense? Hard wouldnt even let that Observatory show happen if it was the case.

[AeroplaneJunkie]

Mac Demarco was wild as always last night.

to be honest i think i liked his performance at Burgerama better. a longer set was nice here, but i feel like Burgerama had more energy. last night was still a great show though.

[FEELS]

Holy.Fuck. So glad I got to Nick Cave down low at least once. Special thanks to the girls in front of me cause I'm pretty sure he wasn't spending so much time in our area because of me. From Her To Eternity, Stagger Lee, Mercy Seat, Tupelo.. so many highlights. Maybe Tupelo with its plodding dirge was the best. Great crowd and good sound at the Shrine.

Feels and Drewski great seeing you guys. I saw lots of friends I hadn't seen in a while. Bring on tomorrow at the Ace!

Hey, nice to meet you too man! And agreed on all accounts of the show.... Especially getting to hear Tupelo and Do You Love Me... And I'll be damned if Jubilee Street isn't the most amazing thing live. I only wish I could go to tonight's show!

[sonnyboy11]

Different set list tonight for Nick at the Ace. We got People Ain't No Good. Damn is that ever a good song! But No Red Right Hand. I preferred last night's set list overall but gotta hands down the sound win over to the Ace. Even Warpaint sounded better tonight, tho I still don't get em (like em fine as musicians, but none of them can sing).

Oh, and Nick Cave scratched my glasses with the sequins on his shirt last night. Really thought it was just sweat and would come off. But instead I got 3 hairlines scratches on my right lens. Going to see the optometrist on Friday.

Great couple of nights.

[getbetter]

I was thinking he wasn't doing on this tour , but "People ain't no good" which is one of nick caves best songs ever. Fuck, I love that song and when he performed that song last year in San Diego. I remember just tensing up with emotion with it fuck I wish this last time I saw him was the same.

Because fyf doesnt make more sense? Hard wouldnt even let that Observatory show happen if it was the case.

How would being a late add to FYF make more sense than playing to a completely new crowd on a comeback tour at Hard?

[bmack86]

Because FYF is more their scene than Hard.

[getbetter]

I haven't seen this posted

[spiggums]

Man... seeing New Order in the best of circumstances is never a good idea... but on the same weekend as Nick Cave? It's just going to make how horrible a front man Bernard Sumner is that much more painful.

[Justin170]

Agreed, but I still had a good time. Your Silent Face was a highlight for me. La Roux was surprisingly enjoyable.

Predicting the Ace Slowdive show sells out instantly and they add a second night... Hopefully I can snag a pit ticket.

[Drewski27]

I can't begin to explain how fucking psyched I am that Slowdive is going to play Ace. Talk about a perfect venue. Christ.

[Boourns]

The ace has a pit?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

This is what the front of the theater looks like FEELS

[Drewski27]

you can hope for a front row seat maybe?

[FEELS]

Huh, I swear I remember there being one at the Spiritualized show. My bad. But yeah, so far the Ace has been killing it in bookings.
