(end of the "formal show")
the covers set included Jon throughout
Candy Says--the Velvet Underground (great)
Staying Alive--Bee Gees (very great)
Gigolo Aunt--Syd Barrett (Jon on drums, Robyn switched to an electric
guitar towards the end of the song, and finished by saying "Careful with
that ax, Eugene.") (one of the standouts of the evening)
More Than This--Roxy Music (Jon played percussion and keyboards at the
same time)
Avalon--Roxy Music (aborted after one verse when Robyn and Jon decided
that they were having trouble with the chord changes)
(back to acoustic guitar)
Trying to Get to Heaven (Before They Close the Door)--Bob Dylan (great)
Goldfinger theme--(with improvized lyrics) (hilarious)
Everybody Knows W Sucks...
Are You Experienced?--Jimi Hendrix (Jon on percussion, keyboards, and
piano strings; Robyn switched to his electric mid-way through the song)
(uber trippy, what a way to finish the night, just amazing)
That covers all the major stuff that I can think of this moment. Robyn's
still on his "guitar tuning is very stimmulating to rodents" bent, and he
had quite a bit to say on the subject tonight. Louden Wainwright III was in
the audience, but never went up on stage.
Time for sleep. Later, Marc
