Anyone here who went to all four? Any thought on which was the best?

I only went to two, but I'd be surprised if 3/9 didn't emerge as the highest-rated....

FAVEHOUR:

I had the exact same experience tonight. Was a bit let down after the Bklyn show, mostly because I was expecting something different. But, like you, tonight I just decided to sit (also: sitting was nice) and enjoy, and boy, did I.

Very hot show. And, holy shit: Poor Napoleon!!!!

Hey, all... It looks like I'll be selling either my Friday (3/9) or Sunday (3/11) tic. Terrific seats both: Friday: Row BB, just left of center (hard tic, which I'll deliver) Sunday, Row DD, just right of center, on aisle (e-ticket) I'll sell whichever one (at cost: $175) I can and use the other mys...

Almost forgot: BIG TEARS!!!

A great, but not awesome show. Some terrific surprises (Blue Chair, Miracle Man, Next Time Around, Come the Meantimes, Still Have That Other Girl) but, I dunno, the show didn't seem to have a focus. That's what happens when you're not touring an album or framing it with a gimmick (Spinning Songbook,...

I agree with BA....fingers crossed. I suspect we'll know within the next couple hours.

Brooklyn Steel is booked on 3/10 and 3/12, so I imagine they'd be hard pressed to postpone or cancel the gig. Personally, I'd love a slightly depressed turnout.....

On one of the EC-devoted Facebook pages there's a photo of Davey and his brother with EC, taken this week, at a recording studio in LA. Davey's brother says he's there to assist on the recording of EC's "new album."

Anyone know anything about this? Would be terrific news!

Can't believe this show hasn't sold out yet....

I'll admit this is rather picayune point, but.....

The Gigography has this show listed as being in "New York." It should really say "Brooklyn." Fer Chrissakes, by population it's the fourth-largest "town" in the country!

Anyone know the presale code for the 3/11 Port Chester show?

"No audience recording"? Seriously?

Agreed, MO...Vegas = touristy hellhole.

Okay...so we've had Spinning Songbook, then Imperial Bedroom, now another gimmicky repackaging of the repertoire...with a tossed-off come-on about "new songs" to give it a sense of freshness and get the true believers on board. Far be it from me to sniff at EC/Imposters remaining an active...

Man, I wish I'd seen that Milwaukee show....

Thanks, FaveHour! That was great. I've long wondered: I assume (maybe incorrectly) that the live videos on this forum are, at least mostly, uploaded by members. But maybe not....cuz it always seems it's the same old greatest hits (Alison, Detectives, PIU, PLU, etc.) that get featured. I'd think that...

Surprising, isn't it, that in NONE of the IBAOC shows did he do "Imperial Bedroom"......

PLEASE tell me someone's got video on that Elvis-and-Steve-only version of "This Year's Girl"!

Agreed. Also, it seems his voice has lost a little something. I think perhaps age is catching up with him.

Only 21-song setlist at Bergen?

Am I the only one getting the sense that these Scandinavia shows--maybe owing to some listless audiences--have been deeply underwhelming?

Had he done "Detour" there already? Cuz the shtick seems a bit tired.

Not sure that answers my question.....

QUESTION: So, I WON'T need a password to buy tics via the NYC presale tomorrow morning?

Gothenburg is Sweden's "second city," a pretty big, culturally aware place.

So....why no setlist?
