FS: David Byrne tickets (4) for July 31 Boston @ Blue Hills Pavillion

[ticketchecker]

As involved (but also really simple, even though that sounds like a contradiction) as the production was, I bet it's pretty much a set piece, I'd be surprised if they play a different set tonight, so rather than list the songs I'll just let you enjoy it as it comes Ticketchecker. But i really think you'll enjoy it. Thanks again man.

I wasn't familiar with opening act Benjamin Clementine but he was also really good and fresh and different, do yourself a favor and read up on him and maybe watch a couple videos, the guy is a talent for sure and he's getting a lot of recognition (which I wasn't aware of before, but have since read up a bit).

The J. Pace Italian deli right across the street turned out to be a good option for food, there's good vendors in the venue (Redbones BBQ, Pizzeria Regina, etc.), but the deli was good, and pretty cheap, and there's plenty of seating inside but it's kind of hidden when you're in the place, we didn't realize it was there until we went to use the bathroom so we ate at some tables they have outside on the sidewalk, which was fine. Just a heads up.

Yeah, I figure him to be a strict setlist guy so once is enough. I've seen his performance on Colbert and get what you mean about it appearing simple, austere even.

Someone else just told me to make sure we see the opener.

super stoked to see him at Red Rocks later this month.

Sound was ok? Last two shows at the pavillion the sound has sucked...like really sucked to the point we said we'd never go back. Both shows had heavy bass, so that may have been a factor.

Yeah it sounded fine. Could've been louder to drown out the drunk chicks behind us yammering at the top of their lungs for the first half of the show, but other than that it was clear and sharp. Not super bass-heavy music for the most part though. Their video setup is pretty shitty though.

True dat.

Great show, it's like the coolest marching band ever

That drives me bat shit crazy.

[iceman]

Yeah and it lead to my wife getting mad at me for getting mad about it. But wtf? Shut the fuck up! But then they left, so wutev.

I mean those stupid bitches were yelling. Serenity now. yeesh.

[bodywhomper]

Saw them tonight in Oakland. Very different than last time I saw David Byrne 15-ish years ago in SF. damn fun. Was within 15 feet of the stage.

Regarding sound level, I thought the whole mix was too loud, which follows the theory that many veteran sound engineers/mixers have long term career-based hearing loss. Interesting to read on this thread that it was not loud enough at some venues.

Just saw him at red rocks, great show!

Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley and nanny goats
18-wheeler Scammels, Domenecker camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly, and porridge oats
A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it - yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on 40 - no electric shocks
The juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot
A little drop of claret - anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, days when I ain't spotty,
Sitting on the potty - curing smallpox

Round or skinny bottoms
Take your mum to Paris
Lighting up the chalice
Wee Willy Harris
Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico
Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motorsickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
Balabalabala and Volare
Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying hokey-dokey, Sing Along With Smokey
Coming out of chokey
John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celentano
