["Shyam V. Yadav" Subject: MM: Cambridge Show setlist Wonderful show tonight at the Lizard Lounge in the most intimate space I have ever seen a major performer in. The Lizard is a basement room with a capacity of 105. It's a L shaped room with maybe 12 tables and the band in the middle and then a bar and standing room for about three rows in front. It's not exactly a living room, bit it's freaking tiny and to see Patty there was surreal and sublime. Turns out Billy who books the club played with Patty at some point ( he's a drummer ) and that's how she ended up there. She asked from the floor tonight "Have I ever been here before ? " and someone told her yes, once, so Patty assumed she had been there before, but just didn't remember being there. She also mentioned that the crowd made her nervous, its a home town show and she gets nervous before every show still, but its worse in Boston ( well, Cambridge ). She talked about her days of horror at Pizzeria Uno over in Harvard Sq and how she loathed it and then apologized to anyone she was rude to back then. Lots of talking back and forth too as anyone in the crowd could could just say something and the entire room could hear it, no raised voice required. The band was Doug and Patty and with Michael on drums ( who got a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday from the house ) and a new ( first week with the band ) female bass player who sang some harmonies here and there and played an upright bass. More or less an unplugged show, Doug was electric but it's a tasteful, elegant and mostly quiet kind of electric. Pretty much a 7:30 start and it was all over by 9pm. The set list, taken from Patty's stage copy, goes like this: ( setlist as written with my notes indicating a change ) 10 MILLION MILES KITE BURGUNDY SHOES SAM C STAY ON THE RIDE TRAPEZE USELESS DESIRES HEAVENLY DAY #MARY ( not played, MAKING PIES instead ) #RR WINGS #FREE NO BAD NEWS LONG RIDE HOME CRYING OVER LOVE THROW A LINE MLK ( BEAUTIFUL VALLEY ) - ------ #PIANO ( LET HIM FLY played by request, no piano, just patty & doug ) PIANO SWEET LORRAINE ( not played, instead they did a garage band 60's rock song that was familiar but I could not name it, I coulda used SWEET LORRAINE ) #patty and doug duo The show was excellent and the venue was just too cool. I liked the band and Patty looked great and was in A+ spirits, it was a love fest front to back and down the side. After the show a certain birdie mentioned a return to the area in less than three months, so that's something to look forward to. I saw promo material that said march and april but it looks more like april and may at tthis point. On another hand I missed the old stuff and there was alot of new material I heard for the first time tonight, so in that sense it was an unusual setlist for me. Patty has hit the point now where with the new cd takes up a big chunk of the set, followed by a bunch of great stuff from her last cd, leaving you alot less room for all the great stuff from the 90's. Will I ever hear TOP OF THE WORLD again? Still, I am not complaining, an artist has to grow and I liked what I heard tonight and look forward to getting the cd and digging into the new material. I have to go to bed now but I already feel like I am dreaming...I mean I just saw Patty Griffin at a bar that holds 105 people and its less than a mile from home!
