Report back as soon as you can Sgt. Creamy Crack!..........
LOL

ok, here's the report. The show was fun. All acoustic. Oli had nothing but his hands to clap with, no keyboard. It was a really loose show, lots of banter. I got called out, it was funny. In retaliation I kept saying Chip off the Block. Acoustic would have been huge, right? Alex told me to get out of "here". Anyway, the Beat Goes On was unexpected, totally improved, they wanted to play another song. Crowd was sizable. All in all, it was an excellent showing and tonight should rage.

Setlist (acoustic: Scott on an electro synth drum thing. oli by himself, etc. etc.)

Alive
Dynomite
Scream
Let's Talk Turkey
Black Jettas
Beat Goes On (eat your heart out Drac)

I had a great time, going back out right now.

"Party All The Time" wasn't that one Eddie Murphy song, was it?

Yes! A cover!!!

:o ww-w-wwww-wwow! 4 'special' songs!! How cool!

Added to setlist database.

Haha, that's great!

We need a boot of "Party All The Time" ASAP!!

it's pretty funny. I thought it was an original and while it grooved hard, it definately felt off. Good to hear it was a cover, now i likey more. I have to say, my biggest criticism has been Scotts sense of time and his tendency to slow down during songs (see Carson post). Well let me tell you, this situation is quickly improving. Scott is really finding his place and is getting much more confortable. The beat goes on was great.

"Party All the Time"---by Eddie Murphy

Well, what tha.....:duh:

I wonder who's idea that was...that's hilarious! I wonder if they'll do that at the Chili Cook-Off in 2 weeks?

well i cant wait till tuesday thats when i see the love of my life ALEX omg!!!! anywho u can go to the post electric sea of rapid meat and bones and downlaod the coolest catpower song

colforbin; you lucky bastard. those sound like some awesome shows.

the acoustic stuff the did for the radio show in ohio was so cool, i can only imagine how it goes off in person.

how awesome that they can make a crowd just explode being electrified, but are just as inspiring with the power out.

Thanks SO much Col, I bet is was great!! May the songs played and encore be a sign of things to come!!! YAY!

I went to the show last night too, and let me tell you, it fuckin melted skulls. I was in the front row in the very middle and got to hug Alex while he sang, "We don't charge extra touching fees, so touch me please." He also rubbed my hand when he sang, "Love, a reaction to some soft skin." He asked me about my neo-peace hand symbol again also. Quite awesome. The whole Party All the Time and Ages of Ruin as an encore... I don't think they were 'cause I took a peek at the setlist on the ground of the stage and they were on there. I don't know though... I also met all the members and took pictures with them after the show. One of the best nights of my life. I can't wait to see them again.

Stella

hey, stella! i know who you are (i was right next to you, girl in the black shirt and skirt). yes, it was a kick ass show! i posted my really long review in the San Fran thread.

i thought it was cute when he touched your hand during that part
