Jones" Subject: Robyn Hitchcock 25 Oct 12 Doug Fir Lounge, Portland OR setlist *enter Robyn solo acoustic* Only The Stones Remain The Wreck Of The Arthur Lee Dismal City *enter Sean Nelson on harmonies* Queen Elvis I Feel Beautiful *enter Bill Rieflin on shaker and harmonies* Only Living Boy in New York (Simon & Garfunkel) Savannah *enter Peter Buck on electric guitar and Scott McCaughey on bass* Television *Robyn switches to electric, Bill moves behind the drum kit* Adventure Rocket Ship Falling Airscape *enter Colin Meloy on harmonies* Saturday Groovers *enter Kurt Bloch on electric guitar* Kingdom Of Love *exit Colin Meloy* Ole Tarantula ENCORE: Queen of Eyes (with Sean, Bill, Peter, Scott, Kurt and Tad Hutchison on shakers) I've seen 3 or 4 Robyn shows at Doug Fir, this one was eerily familiar to one I saw in '03 or thereabouts, like a time travel movie where the past is just a little bit different due to some action that someone or other unknowingly took. My wife and I were camped out at the *same exact table*, Sean came out after a handful of solo acoustic songs and stayed on harmonies the rest of the night (although at THAT show he was wearing a necklace). And the Venus 3 guys eventually took the stage and it morphed into a rock show and everyone up on stage seemed to be having a blast together. Different setlists, but I do remember Adventure Rocket Ship last time as well. Very little stage banter. Oh, there was actually quite a bit, but not too many stories. The most pronounced moment was when Robyn got ready to play Dismal City, and mentioned that it was on a record that is not available, and then repeated the mention again but this time in a scary voice...you know, for Halloween. The last thing he said before leaving the stage was "Feliz Elections".
