I saw Robyn's show at the Cedar Cultural Center last night in
Minneapolis. When my friend and I got to the venue Robyn was walking
around passing out stickers to fans.
During his performance it seemed like he wanted to really lift the
spirit of the crowd who were dealing with both the post election
blues, and the sudden and hopefully temporary closing of 1st Avenue.
This is isn't a complete set list nor is it the order he played the songs:
Chinese Bones
I Got The Hots
Dark Princess
The President (appropriate song for the evening and well received by
the audience)
I Something You
Sleeping With Your Devil Mask
Live In The Trees (I liked his slide guitar on this one)
English Girl (on piano)
The Man Who Invented Himself (on piano, he joked afterwards about his
piano playing ability by commenting that his girlfriend won't come to
his shows when he plays piano)
I'm going to try and make the 5 O'clock in-store today, which is just
a few blocks away from where I work.
Also Robyn announced that he would play a gig for free tonight at some
coffee house to "cheer us up." At the end of the show it was
announced that it would be at the Kitty Cat Club. There are plenty of
opportunities to see him live as he passes through the twin cities
this time around.

What a great show last night. Lots of weird energy from the election
(obviously) and the closing of First Ave. Nice introductions from
Steve McClellan (the soul of First Ave.). I'm sure others will cover
it better, but some highlights for me were I Got The Hots, The Pres and
The Man on friggin' piano, man! I seen 15+ Robyn shows and heard
probably 50 more and I've only seen him play piano once in 1989 (The
Man and Executioner). Only let downs were no Dylan and no duets with
JoJo.
Chinese Bones
I Got The Hots For You
The President
Full Moon In My Soul
English Girl (piano)
The Man Who Invented Himself (piano)
1974
Dark Princess
We're Gonna Live In The Trees
Queen Elvis
You Remind Me Of You (did he play this or was I dreaming??)
I Something You
Sleeping With Your Devil Mask
He played one more song, but I can't remember what it was.
Something newer and slow
