I was wondering if anyone could post a setlist from last night? I was there, but didn't get a list of everything that was played. I had great fun, it was a really good show... I'd like to say hello to the few people I met (I'm shy, I'm sorry I didn't meet more.) I was occasionally seen clutching to Jill Josupeit's coattails (metaphorically), out of shyness. :) I'd also like to thank any of the Frulads that are reading the newsgroup for the show... I think Fruvous shows are some of the most enjoyable moments of my life. I met Jian after the show, and he was every bit as friendly as I've heard. Being shy, I felt like a dork of course, but I'm getting used to that whenever I meet an artist whom I have so much respect for (I've stuttered incomprehensibly at Tori Amos quite a few times now ;). On our way out of the venue, Jian made a great modern-day Moses, parting the people as he walked through the room. We just kinda followed behind him in his wake, and navigated the room with ease. Anyhow... Thanks to whomever supplies the setlist, and thanks to Kat for giving me info on the show and Jill for being so kind as to pick up the tickets. Fruheads are wonderful people. :) Colleen Anne ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2000 00:15:24 -0500 From: lawrence solomon Subject: Friday, 2/18, Lee's Palace Setlist down horse michigan fly tureen sauce lazy pisco splatter indy boo time jockey video marion hold authors car shit psycho - -------- believe - -------- half drink an interesting mix, certainly. I was so happy to hear Down from Above again, but thought that Michigan Militia stuck there in the middle of a Wood opening was a little strange. I suppose they can't *always* just start playing Wood in order, so it adds to the mix. :) Authors was introduced as being one they hadn't done in a while, and there was a bit of trouble when it came time to go to the party. :) Believe was introduced with Jian commenting that he actually didn't know on Thursday that Cher was in Toronto... Half as Much as an encore was.... a little strange. I guess it seemed a little weird to build up that energy and then go into the Drinking Song... there was a bit in the middle where they played a part of a song by the opener, which I found interesting, especially since it was the song by the opener that I remembered and really liked... Also, before Johnny Saucep'n, there was an improv, during which Murray played a tin whistle (apparently there are 2 of them in Jian's bag) it was great, because it sounded like he really knew what he was doing... and now for my two Saturday reviews... - -- lawrence solomon * http://www.fruhead.com/users/zaph * zaph@fruhead.com "You knew it was true, when I held you, there were no secrets.

Quick listing of tunes from my notes and memory. I'll try to write something more specific later, but I'm not making much sense with the written word today. Warm up - Local favorite Todd Weidmer (sp?). "A robust Townes van Zandt" - me from last years show here after he opening for Fruvous. Still true. Nowhere man Lakia Can't be to Careful When She Talks Boss (? - not sure if I have this in the right place) You Go to the Moon Ash Hash Pisco Boo Time Jockey Disco Barganville Independence Day Present Tense Tureen Saucepan I Will Hold On Nuits River Valley Get in the Car Your New Boyfriend Dancing Queen/Walk on the Wild Side E1: M. Militia E2: Ziggy Stardust(Brought up Todd Weidmer to sing lead and play guitar - "The band didn't bring out their lead singer until the 2nd last song" - Jian (I think) Early Morning Rain - First time I saw them do this. It's great! Quick take - eclectic? laid back? thoughtful? I don't know how to describe it, but the guys were very "on", musically tight, very unforced yet very effective. Hmmm - see my comment at the beginning of this note about not making sense. The audience was there to listen as well. A few places where well lubricated fans shouted out during the expected long pauses in b-ville (when judging if the "TWO" was lound enough to continue, for example, also during Boss). Well handled by the band - was not a problem as the show went on, very little talking during the quiet songs - at least, very good for a bar. Mike, J and Mur came out afterwards. Were able to wander the bar and talk to folks in a more relaxed manner then I've seen lately - that is, people gave them space. Thats more than a quick setlist! Better stop before word police come after me!

This is my last post on this topic. I PROMISE!! This was just too good to not share... Published Wednesday, February 23, 2000, in the Miami Herald CARL HIAASEN "Who wants to marry a dork? Notes from the wedding night of Rick Rockwell and Darva Conger: Dear Diary, I did it! I married a multimillionaire! At least, I think he's a multimillionaire. Wait -- what am I saying? They'd never let him go on TV without checking him out, would they? Oh, diary, he's such a dreamboat -- and so down-to-earth. Though Rick and I have only known each other three hours, it seems like three days! Know what he said in the limousine on the way to the airport? ``Have another tequila, babe. Fox is comping everything.'' God, you could've knocked me over with a feather! Dear Brandi, I haven't stopped thinking about you since last night. That was the most incredible bachelor party -- I still don't know how you managed to fit yourself, a unicycle and two Burmese pythons into the cake! Did you see me on TV tonight? I told you I was filthy rich. So much for your wisecrack about my tux being a rental. Listen, hon, I don't have much time -- the new missus is in the shower. How about we hook up when I get back to town? Please? I can't stand the thought of going through life with only a sequined tassel to remember you by.... Dear Diary, Here I am in the nuptial bed, awaiting my new husband. I'm so nervous! He must be nervous, too, because he keeps calling me ``Darma.'' Oh, diary, I did something naughty. Rick accidentally left his Merrill Lynch portfolio inside his briefcase, so I picked the lock with a hairpin and snuck a peek: $373.22! I was about to freak when I realized he's probably one of those ``eccentric'' multimillionaires who keeps all his serious money in secret Swiss bank accounts. Silly me! Dear Britney, Guess where I am? Sitting in the john of a five-star hotel room, with my gorgeous new bride waiting for me in the sack! Ha, now I bet you're sorry you didn't respond to all my e-mails, Miss Nubile Teen Pop Star! Hey, Brit, I don't suppose you happened to catch me getting hitched on the tube? Well, babe, 17 million viewers did. We're talking h-o-t. Dear Diary, You should see what I'm wearing! Rick's eyeballs are gonna pop, if he ever comes out of the darn bathroom. Meanwhile, I couldn't help notice that his tuxedo is a rental. Heck, the receipt was sitting right there in his pocket with a bunch of other papers, including a ``certificate of authenticity'' from something called the International Zirconium Association. Hmmmmm. Dear Jennifer, or is it still `Ms. Lopez-Rodman'? Guess where I am? Sitting in the john of a five-star hotel room, with my gorgeous new bride waiting for me in the sack! Ha, now I bet you're sorry you didn't respond to all my e-mails, Miss Big-Time Latin Crossover Singing Sensation! Dear Diary, I'm getting worried. Rick's been in there for nearly two hours. Maybe it was all those crab cakes he ate at the reception. Or maybe he's just got the opening night jitters. Well, I'd better go check to make sure my dreamy new husband is all right.... Dear Mariah, Guess where I am? Sitting in the john of a five-star hotel room, with my gorgeous new -- whoops.... Dear Diary, I married a dork! Help! Get me outta here! My Dear Darling Darma/Darva, I don't blame you for being hacked off, but remember that you will always be my one and only love. I can explain those silly postcards to other women, sweetheart, just like I'm pretty sure I can explain those brokerage statements. True, we've only known each other since 8:45 p.m. But look at it this way: If we were moths, these few brief hours we've spent together would be an entire lifetime. So be my moth, sweetheart. Come out of the closet and come to bed. And, if you wouldn't mind, bring the unicycle. Signed, Your devoted multimillionaire husband, Rick."

If most people in the audience is doing something, or the band invites it, it's participation. If it's something that you get into your head and blurt out before you realise it makes you look like a jackass, it's obnoxious. Yes, we've probably all done it at some point (I know I have) but most of us aren't quite this indignant about defending it. It's their show, not yours.

I was at the show, front row, and it unnerved me SO much to think that someone was going to ruin some intense moments with an untimely comment. The tension in the air at those times was so thick you could chew it like a piece of taffy. I was mentally thinking "Don't do something stupid, don't do something stupid." And then someone would. :) I hate having to think like that during a show I really want to enjoy. (something smiliar happened to me once at a TMBG show.. a drunk chick ran on stage, and then decided to stand next to me the rest of the show. I had to watch her like a hawk from there on out. Poor John Linnell looked so disturbed over the whole thing.) Fruvous is really cool about encouraging the audience to participate at certain times... I would hate to see them stop that for fear of the show would be ran by a few people that had to be heard right then. It's your perogative to do what you want at a show, but watch the reactions of people around you. If they're embarassed, maybe that means something? This sounds overly harsh. I don't mean it to. :) I thoroughly enjoyed Tuesday's show in Dayton, and the audience was polite most of the time. It was just like watching the movie Swingers... the part where Mikey's on the phone talking to the chick's answering machine... you're embarrassed FOR him. Happy day to all...
