As some of you may know-- I and Joe and Debbie, flew off to Colorado because Bridget is the Queen of Guilt Trips. I'm still terribly tired and way behind on work (But I did get all my grading done!) but I wanted to throw out the setlist from Saturday with a few highlights, which will hopefully be delved into much more fully by Bridget and Joe. :) As soon as Bridget picked us up from the airport (thank you, dumpling!) and took us to her abode, she presented presents from K@, a T-shirt tribute to our Detroit/Chicago/Milwaukee/Minneapolis/Manitoba/Pinawa tour--which Bridget and I both only completed parts of--but it's the bestest T-shirt. I adore it, and I wanted to make sure K@ got her @ss thanked publicly. You Rawk. ;) Cal's Setlist: Saha **This was super-exciting for everyone I knew there. :) Joe had never heard the "extended Sahara opener" before, and when he spied the dumbek on stage during the opener, he made sure to share with all of us. We were speculating as to whether it meant Raja or Sahara, but I put my money on Sahara, and I won. :) [always gamble responsibly, kids] Yay. I was jumping up and down in an attempt to both celebrate and make eye contact with Joe, who was, of course, hundreds of feet away. :) I love extended Sahara and now Joe's seen it live. Yay! Too Care **We were treated to Murray's "Can't! Can't!" after the last chorus, during the outro, which pleased Bridget and I, since it seems neither of us seems to be able to sing You Can't Be Too Careful w/o adding the "Can'ts" at the end. :) Horse Boss Splatt **Despite Amanda's declaration during the 'Midwest' tour, Nachos *do* come in a bowl, at least in some places. Bridget's sister Becky made sure to share the info that at her college, if there's nacho bar (or somesuch), they get made in a bowl. :) Medicin **Ok, so it's not Bed and Breakfast, :D but Medicine Show is definitely a treat! I was pleased, I don't think I've heard it since the CWRU Cleveland Frushow last November. Yay! Spidey ** This was played as a request for some exceptionally drunk, obnoxious fans who were at Friday's (10/29) show. These three guys were so drunk they went beyond annoying to downright hysterical. You wanted to beat them, but you couldn't because they made you laugh somehow. They kept screaming for Spidey (I totally felt like I was in Cleveland ;) and to shut them up ( methinks) Jian told them "Tomorrow." A man of his word, it seems, Spidey made the setlist for Saturday, but I don't think the obnoxiously drunk boys were there. Too bad for them. Jian said after the song "We haven't done that for awhile" which made me and Bridget laugh, because I (and she, I think) was just thinkin' the same thing. :) When She Minnie **I want to say something cool about Minnie, because I love it when it's in the setlist, but I honestly can't remember anything exceptional about it, and hopefully Joe or Bridget or Joy can pipe up here. :) BJ **Another one that I haven't heard in a while. I still haven't adapted to how similar the drum intro's that Jian talks over are with Splatter Splatter... so I wasn't getting my hopes up, but then I remember that they'd already done S^2, so it *was* BJ! :) Kids **This is the weirdest Kids Song I've ever been near. In the first place, when they got to "Should Quebec Separate?!" NOBODY said anything! I was so shocked, I didn't say anything either... all the sound was sucked out of my body. :) They guys were taken aback, I think, and Jian retorts with "Duh, what's Quebec?" [because we are all stupid americans anyway, y'know] and then comments "Fuckin' Colorado" which, after all, you have to have expected to happen sometime. :) So they repeat the line, and people yell stuff, and the show goes on. Then they get to Gaby's part. Jian's going along fine, when suddenly he can't finish the line "My mother makes a spicy bowl of chili [or soup]" He gets as far as "My mother makes a sp----" and starts to crack up. I don't know why. They had to repeat it 4 times, and Bridget wasn't sure he was going to make it. But, he overcame, and the tune carried on. It's those little things that make a Früvous show a unique experience. I traveled halfway across the country, flying for the first time since I was six (that's 20 years folks! Do the math), and Jian stumbles through the Kids Song. Totally worth it. [not that I frütrip to see them fuck up... hopefully everyone here understands that.] Hold **Some couple I know is using this song for their "wedding dance song" for their wedding in June :D, and I've been watching Jian pretty closely when they play this one so I can play a mean air-tambourine at the reception. Nuits **Hopefully you all understand how incredible and powerful this song is live. Indescribable. It blows me away. Moon Auth **Becky was extremely excited about Authors, because she'd asked for it back in June at the Ann Arbor shows, and they were supposed to play it, and they were going to play it, but there was some complication with the guitar, so they skipped it. She hadn't seen it live before Saturday (Can't believe it, can you, Josh?), and so we were all very happy to bounce along. "My Crucifixion." Car Psycho **I was disappointed that whoever was being the light guy wasn't playing along with Jian's "Oh, it's so bright" pantomime. The lights stayed up. Encore 1: Michi **Michigan Militia is always one of my favorites, but it's always more fun for me when I'm far away from home so I can sing "That's my wish again to be back in Michigan" and mean it, kinda. :) I *know* I'm from Ohio, but you just ask Joe and Debbie how much time I spend in Ann Arbor. :) Encore 2: FlyMPG **They didn't do these as a Medley, but Cal thought he was running out of room on his paper or something. It was nice to see Fly, I was getting pretty emotional for me at a Früshow, thinking about how my little adventure was almost over, and My Poor Generation always gets to me. Gorgeous. That's my Colorado Adventure. Saturday, at least. Happy Belated Birthday to Tom! It was great to spend time with K@ and Tom and Bridget (It's *your* turn to travel! Come see the foliage!) and Becky and to meet Laura and Joy and Aunt Lorraine. :) Thanks to all those who made it possible for me to get there. :) I needed it, and I owe you, big time. Thanks. [I'm so glad that I warned y'all that I was too tired to write much] off to catch up on sleep, ciao, the incredibly average donna. ;) "Look out for that Low Pressure System"--Sara (my roommate) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Nov 1999 23:42:19 -0500 From: Julie Holmes Subject: St. Louis Hello everyone!
