Does anyone remember some of the stories the opener told. I thought they were pretty funny. I liked the story about the place that sold chicken and white bread, but was out of chicked and still open. What was his name?

Those are nice pics, tt. I like the one with the high angle from the back of the stage, that's pretty unique.

where is the recording of this show posted? it would be a pity if no one snuck in a mic...it sure would have been easy considering the lax security at the venue |

The a cappella was phenomenal. Definitely a major highlight.
It didn't click until I read the setlist (thanks Neptune) but I loved the quirky, odd bookends he chose to begin & end with... "Kicked In The Taco" & "Two Reelers". Both are classic, quirky Frank tunes & he did an amazing job on both. |

I can't verify that because I was on the third level, but it was hot in there and the song did seem to get very emotional toward the end.

I agree. That was rather awesome. Now, I could be off here, but I could swear I saw a tear roll down his just before he stopped strumming. Could've been sweat... |

The best part of the show had to be Sing For Joy, ending a ceppla (sp) and going right into 666 a ceppla.

Told a story about being very high in Lancaster when he visited with the Pixies...
26 Where Is My Mind? said his wife told him come back out after unplugging his amp to play this song because of the loud cheer for an encore
Thanks Frank! Great show!
Unbelievable performance, he produces so much music from his guitar and voice, I was amazed... One of my favorite parts was his falsetto during California Bound, actually, the whole concert was awesome.
I agree only 150-200 people total. Definitely worth a 2 1/2 hour drive with the top down in perfect weather and TOTY very loud!
Absolutely awesome concert...highlight of my summer!
Thanks Frank- you are the man...
Just uploaded some pics.

I hadn't checked out any of the other setlists before the show because I wanted to be surprised. And when you do look, you're always bummed about songs played at other shows that weren't played at yours (Western Star...Brackish Boy...Massif Centrale!! aaaahhhrgh! It's OK Frank, play these Oct 19th Philly!). But as always I am thankful for the songs that were played...thats what happens when you have such a massive catalog of quality, lots gets left out
All in all, a great set of songs...was very surprised only 2 from FMRM, none from disc 2...there were four I didn't know...if anyone knows what they were, i'd love to know...

mmm...there were only about 40-50 people on the floor with the seats, maybe 50 or so upstairs, I couldn't see behind the chairs by the bar downstairs, I was up on the rail.
Maybe 150, tops.
Chameleon is nice, (I live five blocks away)
saw Particle, a jam band, there a few weeks ago, couldn't have been more than 50 people there.
But I saw Rev. Horton Heat and the Supersuckers on a Wednesday night last winter and it was jammed - 500 for that one, packed in like sardines.
I think the summer thing has something to do with it.
But yeah, amazing show, the opener was OK, songs hit or miss, but pretty funny.

Wow, what a show. Frank Black and a guitar. Drove 2 1/2 hours each way, so worth it. When I turned onto N Water "Street" and when I saw the Chameleon Club I thought "you've got to be kidding." Cool place, though. Three levels, had an outside "Tiki Bar" upstairs that was nice while I waited for the Man to go on. The place had seats on the main floor and a balcony with a railing above that you could lean over and watch. The place was full but couldn't have been more than 400-500 (I think...maybe I'm a poor estimator of such things...). Halfway through I wandered down in back of the stage and ended up standing immediately next to the stage by the steps where Frank entered/left. I felt like it should have been roped off or something, but I guess not. Frank must have been 10 feet away...
The crowd was good and was into it, was very loud in requesting an encore (wish granted). My only wish was that he played about sixty songs instead of "only" 26...
setlist coming... |

FAN-TASTIC show.
Cannot seem to hit the snooze button tonight. Still a bit wired after driven back from Lancaster. The Cameleon Club was a treat, toto solo - FB, his guitar, and little tiny amp.
He opened with Kicked in the Taco and eventually threw in some never-before-heard songs.
I'm sure someone will post a play list.

There's a decent store with vinyl records on N Prince St in Lancaster called Stan's Records, about three blocks from the club.
I think it closes at 5, though. |

Hey, I live in Lancaster, about five blocks away.
There's a place called Senorita Burrita right across the Street on Prince St for some tacos.

I wish I could but I can't. The guy I'm going with only lives a few miles from the Chameleon & we're going to be hanging out there with our wives & kids prior to the show. Too bad, it's not an all ages show, I'd bring the whole family. |

Adam - Good to know, you’re right, there doesn’t seem to be a need to show up super early. The last time I saw Frank was with the Pixies, which obviously drew a ton of fans. |
| Adam |
Posted - 08/04/2006 : 09:05:26
You think there is going to be a big crowd? I've seen him twice with the C's and both shows have been max 250 people.

Thanks, just ordered my tickets! |

Posted - 08/03/2006 : 12:42:45
The ticketing is really odd, I've never seen anything like it. Here a link + some info from the Chameleon website:
-----------------------
www.chameleonclub.net/calendar.asp?date=8/14/2006
$15 GA Standing / $ 20 GA Seating
There will be limited seating for this show. General admission seating will be first come first serve the day of the show.
-----------------------
I guess that means the tickets ordered in advance will be for the floor & the tickets bought the day of the show will for the balcony. But either way, since both are General Admission it sounds we should get there as early as possible.
Not that this little story will help us but I couldn't help of thinking of when I saw Frank at the Trocadero in Philadelphia in '96. Some asshole threw a cup of beer from the balcony & it hit Frank right in the chest. Frank wasn't a happy camper. Anyway, I've seen Frank twice at the same place since & both times the balcony was closed, they only opened the floor. It's probably unrelated, but maybe Frank has some deal in his contract to discourage or exclude balconies. |

Posted - 08/02/2006 : 06:30:16
that's the confusing part, my ticket has a seat and row #, but at the same time it says general admission. if chairs are being set up it will be the first time that i know of that's ever been done at the chameleon. i'm going to try to get some info. from the club. |

Posted - 08/01/2006 : 09:48:40
Thanks tire. How many people does the club hold, for seeing shows, and it says there is a first come first serve seated area, is it all seated?

I'm probably going to be there, not definite but it's looking good. I usually see Frank in Philadelphia but there's no solo show there, just the Foo Fighters show. It's a long drive from New Jersey but it's all worth it for Frank.
If you see two fools standing next to each other in their thirties with short brown hair, glasses & goatees, I'll be one of them. A third guy may join us who looks like Telly Savalas. |
