Today involved a bit of playing and a bit of listening. Both to bands with immense critical acclaim. The playing was Wilco ("I Must Be High"), and the listening was Spoon. I had always heard good things about Spoon, but never actually heard anything by them. I made the mistake of mentioning this to a co-worker the other day, and then watched while she practically had a heart attack. I wound up buying "Gimmie Fiction" at her suggestion, and finally put it into the CD player tonight. I love how their music is so heavily groove oriented and acoustic at the same time. In spots it almost feels dancy in nature. Can't wait to hear more of their stuff. Not as much actual playing as I probably should've done today, but still a good day.
Okay, so Dave's voice was kinda shot last night and the show was still epic. Here's what they played: Run All My Life Learn to Fly The Pretender The Sky Is a Neighborhood Rope ( with solo's ) Sunday Rain My Hero These Days Walk Under My Wheels / Jump / Another One Bites the Dust / Blitzkrieg Bop ( w/ band introductions ) Big Me Congregation Breakout Times Like These This Is a Call Under Pressure ( Queen cover) Monkey Wrench Breakdown ( Tom Petty cover) Best of You Dirty Water Let There Be Rock ( AC/DC cover) Everlong And here is a little bit of "Big Me," just for fun:
