Janine permits me to share this -


It was very sweet to see EC playing with some kids for the your music program. He extended the song at least twice so they could keep playing longer. (What's So Funny About P, L, and U.)

I didn't remember to record a start and end time. This was actually a dinner, and the main course was served when E took the stage. Guess who did not eat her dinner tonight?

Paramount Theater
Seattle, Washington USA
25 April 2015
Doors 2015 (Opening Doors to the Arts -fundraising event for Seattle Theater Group)

(I know you guys will correct titles if I name them wrong, or spell Alison wrong)

1. The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes
2. You Better Watch Your Step
3. Every Day I Write the Book (only Book, no other song merged with it)
4. Jimmy Standing in the Rain
5. Watching the Detectives (with the whole dissonant loop thing...LOVE IT...plus just a tiny bit of bullhorn - hardly worth mentioning)
6. Alison
7. We called him out for an encore. He came out with The Onlies and played What's So Funny about Peace, Love, and Understanding

Then Brandi Carlile Came out after EC left and played with The Twins and included a rendition of Scarlet Tide, including EC ending line, "admit you lied and send the boys back home" which she repeated.

8. EC closed the evening with Seattle Rock Orchestra and Brandi Carlile singing Pump It Up.
