1: (8:17) Tombstone*, Sleepyhead, Summer of My Fall, If You Knew, Emily Green, One Sick Knave, Hollow, Mardi Gras Song, Roses & Bottles
2: (9:37) Joelle, The Shouters**, Nowhere from here to Go, Poor Boy, Maybe Some Day***, Home Away From Home, As the Crow Flies
E: Woo-Hoo Blues**** > Everything Must Go
Show ended at 10:41pm. * Brad on baritone ukelele, everyone else a capella. ** Nathan sang through his Harmonica Mic while sitting on the ground. He was quoting lyrics from "Fat King of Gods" during the song's intro. *** Nathan solo tune off In His Own Worlds. Ftp by Davis??. the song was seemingly taught to Marco on the spot as Nathan quipped "hey Marco, its just G minor and F". Brad played bass and Marc played guitar. **** brand new short upbeat blues tune written by Nathan the day before the show. The band didn't know it and jammed along with Nathan before going in to "Everything Must Go".
This was my first trip to Club Passim (site of the now legendary 1997 acoustic Slip show) which is a nonprofit Arts center that doubles as a tasty Vegetarian restaurant called "Veggie Planet". The room fits around 100 people and people were seated at tables of 4 with GA single seats lining the walls. The room seemed 95% full, if not sold out. The band played mellow versions of songs like "Summer of My Fall" and "Roses" to go along with the sit down "listening room" vibe of the venue. Very intimate atmosphere, reminded me of the Sweetwater show i saw in Mill Valley in '05. The stage was very cramped and the guys literally had to climb on the stage, over a monitor and marc's pedals to get to their instruments. Marco was on an upright piano and had a little keyboard on top of it. Nathan switched between his "troubador" guitar (the one he won in Telluride) and the baritone uke all night. Andrew had a broken down kit, no rack toms and only 2 cymbals other than the hi hat. He had lots of toys including shakers, wine glasses filled with water, and some sort of bamboo sticks he played on his knees during "Nowhere..." All in all a great room and great vibe for the band. I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's show. I saw one taper so hopefully it will circulate.
I posted some pics in the Photos section. My camera was dead, forgot to charge the battery so I only had my crappy cellphone. Hopefully others will have some pics...
