Chantry) Subject: Review: Boston Somerville! In case anyone ever had any reason to doubt it, I love these lads!! Another great frütrip, another great concert! (I apologize for my depth... Feel free to skip to the end for a straight set list. And I apologize for any errors... it is, after all, four in the morning.) First of all, the opener--as in Philly Friday--was Sarah Slean. I really enjoy her (especially tonight, when she demonstrated one of the "rock poses"" she had been practicing"). But the boys... another high energy show with lots of fun twists and turns! It was a great start when Mike came out alone and wooed the audience with Gord's Gold--a fun rarity! Then Jian joined him and they hit Homeward Bound. Then Murray trickled onto the stage and the three of them did Spiderman (which made me really happy, by the way). Finally, Dave joined in and we got River Valley, which I think is a wonderful opener. Then it was New Boyfriend, which featured a really cute little dance by Mike and Dave. The banter after Boyfriend was awesome... Somerville also doubled as a movie theater and since Früvous was playing in the theater being used for The Matrix, we got a whole line of quips about that. Murray did a pretty stellar Mr. Smith impersonation (although he told us after the show that Mike does it better). Then Jian made fun of Dave's shirt, which he claimed made him look like Linus. So Dave, of course, grabbed a towel and sucked his thumb a la the Peanuts strip, while Mike spoke for him... Linus' famous speach from "Charlie Brown Christmas." So awesome!! Then it was You Will Go to the Moon, complete with the classic mime trombones. Then Jian did a "shout out" (Is that a way to get stains out of clothing? Or eating chocolate syrup off of snow?), which went to the people in the really crappy seats up in the back of the balcony; Jian promised that by the end of the show he would find a way to get those people down to the floor... more on that later. : ) When the guys discovered that there were four empty seats near the front, it was explained that those were reserved for the lads' parents, who always have seats but never come to the shows (Murray's parents think he's a professional baseball player). That went into a trio of Thornhill songs: Half as Much, Independence Day, and Sad Girl. They're still using the weird echo effect... I think they like to hear themselves reverberate. Between Indy and Sad Girl, Jian tried desperately to tell a story about doing crossword puzzles and Selena Kansas, but it took a while to get started, as Murray kept ignoring him to set Mike up with the bass... he ended up using the fender ("Frosted Lucky Charms" bass). We approved highly. I'm in agreement with Mike... the other one looks like a satellite. Lazyboy was a treat after the Thornhill triad and the Grandpa Früvous intro to Minnie the Moocher was, of course, great. I'm psyched because I got a great treat at he end of the show... Mike's Minne notes. So if anyone wants all the rhymes/jokes let me know. The highlight, in my opinion, was the line about America being the land where everyone's entitled to life, liberty, and a f**ing sport utility vehicle. (That and George W. and nose candy.) Then we found out that Murray's Fender is actually named Todd. Then it was No, No Raja, which is wonderful to hear. Another highlight for me... Dave doing The Way You Look Tonight, accompanying himself on accordian. *sigh* Jian then tried to top it with bits from Sound of Music... close. To round out the accordian songs was Splatter Splatter, which was introduced when Mike said, "Seriously, though, we love the way you look tonight... but we think you'd look a lot better if you were covered in blood." Then Jian started the movement to have four people from the balcony actually come down and take the four empty "parent" seats. As the audience waited for the people to take their new positions, the lads sang a Procession... it was great. I love these guys. Then it was Disco Bargainville, with the usual three or four false starts. Jian introduced I Will Hold On as a "conundrum" and finally decided that the mix-up was due to his equating hopeless romanticism with inevitable sadness. After IWHO, someone in the audience asked how D.C. was. It was a nice little conversational moment. Then Mike introduced Nuits de Reves with the story of Jian singing it to them in London. After Nuits de Reves was Greatest Man in America then Authors, wherein Murray replaced "short works of fiction/ pulp fiction" with "my crucifiction." : ) With a quick nod to frütripping, Mike started up Get in the Car and they went right into Psycho Killer. Of course, there were the usual number of false starts. I was really entertained when an audience member fed Jian the first line, pretending that that was the reason he wasn't starting the song. It was hysterical. For their first encore, they did Michigan Militia. Then they came out for number two and did King of Spain (the "close" dictator was George W. Bush), then Green Eggs and Ham. KoS was preceded by Dave singing a bit of New Radicals (You Got the Music in You), which was funny because he definitely looked just like that guy. In the middle of Green Eggs and Ham, Mike demonstrated his sudden ineptitude at playing Beatles, which had even the other lads cracking up. Their final encore was You're Gonna Lose That Girl and The Drinking Song, which were, of course, lovely. A huge portion of the audience was singing along and swaying with arms linked for The Drinking Song... such a classic beautiful Moxy moment. I was, for those interested, able to shout out my cheer for Big Fish... the crusade continues. Their reaction: "Ooh. Good one." After the show, I got several promises that they would work on it for Frücon, which means I'll have to drop everything and motor to Toronto in February. Phew. For right now, however, I think I'll just go to bed instead. Night all. Sweet Früdreams.

I didn't keep setlists of any of the shows I saw last week, but off the top of my head, here's my synposis of Harrisburg-Philly-DC: good! better! wonderful! Harrisburg was a nice warmup, after not having seen Fruvous since August (save for a mini-set at Mtn Stage). Good voices, fun show, intimate setting. I even got a decent night's sleep afterwards. ;) The energy was turned up a bit in Philly-- big, enthusiastic crowd, *great* setlist, overall a terrific show. But the 9:30 was my favorite of the three. The only things I can remember that really stood out about the setlist were new Minnie lyrics and Alison as an encore. But, wow. The energy was incredible. The guys sounded *amazing* from my spot back at the soundboard. The harmonies on Horseshoes gave me chills. They were just so *on*. Chad, I'd be interested to hear what you think of those two (philly and DC) shows in comparison and contrast to each other. I felt that Philly's setlist was a bit cooler, but that DC's vibe more than pushed it out in front. Which is funny; after the discussion here recently about What Makes a Show Great, I'd have thought that I'd rank setlist and energy equally. Not neccessarily, I guess. ;) To be fair, while DC's setlist didn't hold many surprises for me, it did hold a lot of personal faves.

I really enjoyed the opening of this show. The last several shows I'd seen in the area were all from back when the band would repeatedly say, "Once again, we'll have a new album out soon. Here's another new song off it." It was nice to hear, for the first time in a long time, a slew of older songs in concert-- ever better in that they were rare ones. > Then Jian joined him and they hit Homeward Bound. Last time they did this in Boston, I think, it was just a couple lines of "Gnomeward Bound", but that was overshadowed by the Lionel Richie tribute that followed. > With a quick nod to frütripping, Mike started up Get in the Car and > they went right into Psycho Killer. I was surprised that they played Psycho Killer at that point. I mean, when a band walks on stage one member at a time and plays a couple of songs, Psycho Killer comes _first_. Heaven comes second.

Which is funny; after the discussion here recently > about What Makes a Show Great, I'd have thought that I'd rank setlist > and energy equally. Not neccessarily, I guess. ;) In my opinion, DC was definitely a better show overall. In Philly, the beginning of the show was a little weak. Blow Wind Blow was great, probably because the band was on edge doing something they haven't done in a long time. They let go too much afterwards and the first half of the show suffered. They did a lot better when people got up and stood and were in their face more. People said most Keswick shows people don't use the seats. They flood aisles and get up front. If people had done this, the show would have probably had been better, but my knees not so much. Philly closed out strong though and I absolutely loved Jian's Blow Wind Blow verse. But the early mistakes and unevenness of the show made it drag a little bit for me. It wasn't bad by any means, but given a month it'll blend right into the other shows I've seen. Except maybe the Limb Bisquick - stir it up improv which was WAAAAY too long but still got stuck in my head courtesy of Jason Reiser bringing it back up after the show. I guess if he couldn't tape he'd remember and play back what he could *Grin* DC was just generally more consistent. Philly went up and down a lot where DC was high energy the whole time. High points for me were Dave jumping around giddily playing and doing a flying jump to turn off his pedals after some song and Nuits de Reve (one of my favorite live songs - at any given time, if a light shone down from the ceiling and I was magically asked "What song do you want to hear next" my answer would probably be Nuits de Reve). Dave seemed a lot more on in DC than in Philly which will always bring the musicality of a show up. Dave had some zippy one liners and good innuendo going. The house mix was great too. The bass was really thumping which is always a joy and changes in Murray's lines came through really well. Plus Chris fixing the microphones was hilarious[1] (and well done) and Minnie went over really well. And at my spot from the middle of the balcony, the dichotomy of the left and right sides of the balcony were apparent. The left side stood there lifeless while the right side flamboyantly enjoyed themselves. It was pretty entertaining in a side show sort of way. All in all, a pretty memorable show, which it better be because I don't have a tape of it to bring it back *grin* - Chad [1] Jian rejecting Mike's offer of his mic and saying "I'm a man of the people" was great. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Nov 1999 06:21:55 -0800 From: Ellen Subject: Re: Review: Keswick Theatre, PA, 11/19/99 In article <81bip1$rk7$1@panix6.panix.com>, pirmann@panix.com (David Pirmann) wrote: ------------------------------ Date: 22 Nov 1999 09:08:33 -0500 From: pirmann@panix.com (David Pirmann) Subject: Re: Review: Keswick Theatre, PA, 11/19/99 In <19991121231524.04317.00000787@ng-ft1.aol.com> srm9988n@aol.comicrelief (Lori at fruhead dot com) writes: >Something that wasn't noted: the Keswick became somewhat of an echo chamber on >some songs, which I thought sounded AWESOME on Indy Day.

But hey, I just decided it is. ;) So here you go... The song I'm here to rhapsodize about today is Sahara, and for your reference, right now I am listening to the 10/10/98 Martyr's webcast version. This song makes my shoulders and hips move in the snakiest of ways, driven on by the beat of the bass. It has a definite groove. It sends me to a jammy place where everything else disappears. The guitar pulls me back into the moment but only to say, "The song starts here. Don't drift too far away; I have a story to tell you." I love the story it tells. A world made of shimmering gold, that invincible feeling of being young and strong, and in the end it all crumbles and fades. Today's Good Hands Award is in honor of the winding and stretching and twisting rhythm to the lines: How they'd gather to hear me speak They say my eyes held fire but a gold empire burned to the ground the world unwound and left me here, a freak. And .. the sin, the sabotage We had no fears the band played for a thousand years or was it just a mirage? When those lines are sung, I find myself swaying to match Mike's voice. He tells the story as if there's no feeling left in him. It's all gone; he's empty, no time for sorrow or regret. Only a little nostalgia. What I'd change if I could: forgive me, Jian (more specifically, Jian's hands). I'd never play the short version again. Every live Sahara would be an Extended Sahara, with the dumbek jam and those heavenly "ahhhh ahhhhh"s. But while we're at it, we might as well really do it right (this is where you all pat me on the head and send me on to the next Phish show). In Ellenland, this song is often played as a Raja->Sahara-> Raja sandwich. They've already done the Sahara-> Raja part before (until the last time I went back and listened to the 3/97 Iron Horse show, I had managed to convince myself that I'd thought of this on my own). Anyway, it can be done and it would sound magnificent, I think. You'd start with the normal Raja beginning, then after the "I want it stupid" verse, trail off into "Lai lai lai lai"s and then into a nice long dumbek/bass jam. You pick up Sahara from this jam. Then Sahara fades back into dumbek again and you pick Raja back up at the "lai lai"s, just before the "for Raja..." line.

It's a minor issue in an otherwise great review, but I'm irrationally persnickety sometimes about midwestern small-town geography. I guess it's because I grew up in a town that was consistently mispronounced. So, while I'm at it: if you're ever in southeastern Nebraska, here's the correct pronunciation for Beatrice, NE: it's Be-AT-trice, (the "a" sounding like "cat" and the emphasis on the second syllable); not BE-uh-trice, as most people pronounce it.
