THE ROCK DOESN'T STOP!

Monday night was Twilight Singers show. It was a really great show but had it's trainwreck moments because front man extraordinaire Greg Dulli got totally wasted! The first part of the show and the last part of the show were awesome but it was too messy in the middle. They played for over 3 hours but that included many long drawn out stories from Greg and waiting at least 10 minutes before each of the 2 encores.

Here was the set list:

Decatur St.
That Just How That Bird Sings
Teeenage Wristband
Twilite Kid
Domani
If I Were Going
Cloudbusting (Kate Bush cover)
A Love Supreme
Please Don't Stay
Love
Annie Mae
Papillon
Martin Eden
King Only
Black is the Color/Time of the Season (cover)

Encore #1
The Killer
Steve Nicks medley
Layla (partial cover)

Encore #2
Uptown Again
Hey Ya (OutKast cover)
66
Faded/Purple Rain (Prince cover)

One of the best things Dulli did at the show was "If I Were Going" from Gentlemen with the crowd singing many of the words...and at the very end he says "Fuck Dashboard Confessional" - it was awesome!!

He also dissed a few people like Sheryl Crow, Liz Phair, The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Coldplay and The Yankees with his in-between song banter. But also gave props to Steve McQueen, The Darkness and Lauryn Hill. He also told a very poignant long story about becoming friends with Elliott Smith at his bar that he owns in LA called The Shortstop and he dedicated a song to Smith. Very touching.

You can get more details here if you want some other fan's takes on the show.

I'm going to see them next week in LA at the El Ray Theatre so I hope he keeps it together for that one!

And I really wished my friend Judy was there with me when they belted out "Faded" because that is one of our all time fave Afghan Whigs' songs!!

rock on,
