Again basically the same set, but performance was absolutely top notch. I heard a few mistakes in the odd song here or there, they all sounded like counting errors.
Didn't see Kentucky Prophet as we were running well behind this night, but based on the above comments I don't think that's much of a tragedy. Actually, based on seeing him before I don't think it's much of a tragedy, but whatever.
Someone asked earlier if the Pixies show was upstairs: no, it was in the downstairs room, which must be at least twice the size of the one this show was at. This was the first show I've ever been to where the beer garden was on a different level of the building than the performers, but I wasn't looking to booze anyway.
On to the show. Same songs as usual, but the order got shuffled a little bit this night. The acoustic set was sweet, setting the tone for a stellar show with the band. The Pixies songs were about what we've come to expect, but Manitoba stood out in a big way - he played it just a little more slowly and sang a little more lowly. As mentioned by speedy above, the vocal work the man brought tonight was very strong. In fact, I'd go so far as to say this was the best voice I've heard from Frank in all the times I've seen him live. The opening Remake/Remodel-Living On Soul reaffirmed this in a big way, he just belted these songs out like he was working for a new contract. Biggest highlights I remember are Ten Percenter, Gyaneshwar, and Raider Man, although every song was very well done. I would give a lot for a recording of this show, as Frank's voice was superb. I may have mentioned this before, just wanted to make sure I told you. The sound was great even though I hate the venue. I just prefer the bar-style setup. During The Black Rider someone right in front of the stage was holding a book up trying to catch Frank's eye, but I couldn't tell what the book was. Something by Burroughs, perhaps? Some clown grabbed Jarvis' head during a solo right near the end of the set - you could see his drunken claw reach up and hesitate for a moment as he decided whether to do it or not, then he just swooped in like he was trying to pull a wig off or something. Other than that, pretty unnotable crowd.
Cool moment right before the show, too: we were wondering if we'd missed any of the show because we got there so late (two in our party had family to visit while in town), and on our way up the stairs who was suddenly ambling right alongside us? Well, his name starts with Frank and ends with Black; anyway, after seeing him I commented to my company that it looked as though we hadn't missed anything yet. Frank half-turned his head without looking at us and said, "Yeah, nothing just yet..." or something like that out of the side of his mouth, then made his way into the hall. My buddy Kevin said he reeked of beer, but I remain conviced that was just Kevin himself.
Bumped into speedy and his lady out on the floor too, cool seeing them again. Can't wait for Frank to come back to Calgary, just wish someone would point him to a better venue. That's my least favourite university (of the whopping five I have visited).

Ok I just uploaded 3 pics from the show, they aren't the greatest quality as they were simply taken on my camera phone, luckily I was as close as possible so in my opinion they still look pretty cool, and hopefully they will be posted! I'm not entirely computer savvy so I don't know how to link them here or anything like that... |

Uhh, yeah, maybe posting them here or in our gallery (http://www.frankblack.net/gallery) would be a little more 'community' oriented. It's very easy, just one click, select the file, upload.

That was a really good show. Bullet and '666' were the highlites for me. 'Sing for Joy' was stuck in my head (and my wife's) for hours after the show.
We weren't a big fan of the opening act either. We went up there, heard about 3 seconds and went back to the beer gardens.
Frank Black wasn't very talkative at this show. He said that thing about the Pixies at the beginning (mentioned in an earlier post). He said that "it was nice to be on your campus again". (the concert was at the U of Calgary). At the end of the show he said thanks and to drive home safely.

ya, they were having a blast! i was about 10 feet from them and i don't think they were pissing off anyone. think they were getting lots of chuckles from the people around them.

I agree My Terrible Ways is not what should be played live, either. Puts a bad lull in a great show.
And sure the guy above's comments on KP's weight were rough, but for petessake he was doing the whole "show your tits" and turning around to showing his plumber's crack as part of his schtick when I saw him in Memphis. And the shirt he wore was short and untucked in the front, so half his gut hung out. I'm not saying it's cool to pick on a fat dude, but he played into it.
However, I'll admit I'm mostly just pissed b/c I had to wait through his crap set when most of the cities on this tour got to hear FB acoustic, incl. one of my all time favorites, California Bound.

Me and that girl were joking about unplugging the wires cause they were so close, she didnt touch them though. Kentuckey unplugged it when he stepped on the wires.

Frank's voice was in top form last night, it was truly impressive. His vocals during the acoustic set and Living On Soul were particularly good. The show was amazing, the energy from the band in the room was kept exteremly high all night, and the new songs are absolutely barn burners.
maybe I'll kick it

The guy wasn't that bad. a few of his songs were entertaining, but he went on waaaay too long. three or four songs would've been good enough. i was further back when this guy was playing and was glad when he finally got off the stage, but messing with his equipment is a pretty classless act and probably set the tone for the rest of the night with mr black.

Fair enough. Perhaps my calling attention to his weight is a low blow, although at some point it is simply descriptive - if I'm going to express my dislike of the opening performer and begin by describing him, it is fair to describe him as he appears - a very heavyset fellow, however you are right, I used far less tact than that...
Regardless, I wouldn't call what he did "music", that guys not a musician, he's a novelty performer. But if he's Frank's friend, and Frank chooses to let him perform, I guess I shouldn't really care, I got 100 times more than what I paid for when it comes down to what really matters. |

Thanks for the review, but I'd be more embarrassed about the crowd's behaviour and heckling personally. Unplugging his MP3 player is pretty unforgivable, like the guy or hate him.
I'll be the first to admit that his set doesn't interest me in the slightest though it was mildly entertaining in a sort of profane way, but just because I don't enjoy it is no reason to ruin his set for everyone and/or be rude. But that's neither here nor there.
As for why he's opening for FB instead of a cool band or something, he used to be a roadie/driver for FB&C's and I guess FB thought he'd help him out.

I doubt it. There are a lot of bands making great music that don't require much compensation that I think would enjoy opening up for a FB crowd. I hope Frank's a fan of Kentuckyprophet or at least thought his fans would enjoy it. I got some friends too; they're not necessarily good at what I do.

Aren't "All Around the World" and "My Terrible Ways" two different songs? I'm 99.9% sure they are.
Also, KY Prophet may have been a jerk, sure sounds like he was, but screwing up his set like that girl did is COMPLETELY unacceptable. |

Terrible Ways .....Weakest Song on the album, must be because its so godamn Road Weary:
Up on the Blue Ridge mountain, there I'll take my stand
Up on the Blue Ridge mountain, there I'll take my stand
A rifle on my shoulder, six-shooter in my hand
Lord, Lord, I've been all around this world
Lulu, my Lulu, come and open the door
Lulu, my Lulu, come and open the door
Before I have to walk on in with my old forty-four
Lord, I've been all around this world
Mama and papa, little sister makes three (note 1)
Mama and papa, little sister makes three
They're coming in the morning, that's the last you'll see of me
Lord, lord, I've been all around this world
Hang me, oh hang me, so I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me, so I'll be dead and gone
I wouldn't mind your hanging boys, but you wait in jail so long (note 2)
Lord, I've been all around this world
Up on the Blue Ridge mountain, there I'll take my stand
Up on the Blue Ridge mountain, there I'll take my stand
A rifle on my shoulder, six-shooter in my hand
Lord, Lord, I've been all around this world
------------------------------------------------------
That songs been around.
I personally like FB's new incarnation of the song.
I'd have to say , though, that I am quite partial to his live version, as opposed to the album version.
ie. Check out this link.....
http://content.lala.com/woxy/loungeact/frank_black-20061031.mp3
This link is great he starts off kidding that he's gonna play Jethro Tull. He says just kidding and the interviewer said he really dug when he was warming up playing "Crazy Train". The first music in this recording isn't a cover its a great version of "The Water" or "The water song" or whatever AND THEN the next song he plays he explains how he just found this song called "That burnt out Rock n' Roll".....He says he's been obsessed with this Gary Green tune.....Listen to this version (2nd tune)....you can tell he's obsessed with it....BLAh BLAH BlAH
Just listen to this interview....
Oh and the whole reason I posted this is because someone said "Terrible Ways" was the "Weakest" track on the album. Maybe....but listen to this version on the interview I linked you to.. Its a traditional song "Written by Bob Dylan" . |

Great show. Acoustic set list was
Where is my Mind?
Nimrod's Son
Los Angeles
Wave of Mutilation
Manitoba
not sure of the order of the last two, they might be flipped.
the opening guy was absolutely terrible. i actually started to feel bad for him when he left the stage at the start of his last song because the mp3 thing got unplugged. he walked to the sound control place at the back after the set and i ALMOST tried to shake his hand, then i remembered what a douche bag he was and ignored him. i think the only reason that he's on the show is that he's cheap, a one man show and probably getting one hundred bucks a show or less even.
i'm a new frank black fan, i only have the last two of his albums but i'm a huge pixies fan, i have every cd they've ever put out. as a result i didn't know most of the songs that were played but some of them stood out as brilliant - dead man's curve, in particular, was awesome. six sixty six was great, he was wailing right at the end, better than any screaming he's done in his pixies days. the only songs off honeycomb were i burn today and sing for joy, i knew the set list going in but i think that go find you saint is the best song on that album, hands down. off the new record he did raider man, johnny barleycorn (great!), i'm not dead (i'm in pittsburgh) and terrible ways. i love the new album, it's the best thing to come out in the last five years at least in my opinion but i personally think terrible ways is the weakest track on the whole two discs, why play that when there are instant classics that are easy to play with a four piece band like elijah and fitzgerald? it was a great great show though, total money's worth and the show wasn't short at all.
two questions: when the pixies played mac hall in 2004 did they play upstairs like tonight or downstairs in the bigger hall? also what happened to reid pailey? |

Sure enough, Frank and the band walk up to the bar and order a round, so we get to say hello. We were pretty impressed, I don't know if we'll be so lucky this year, but we'll definitely be patronizing the Den again prior to this one, even if the Flames are on a 2 game win sreak...
I'm meeting some friends at the Den tomorrow night at 7. Would be cool to run into FB or some folks from FB.net
The roads are pretty bad. I hope the tour bus drives safely from Saskatchewan to Alberta and from Edmonton to Calgary.
I gave up my tickets for tomorrow nights game to see FB... |

Note that Reid is no longer slated for Calgary (or any of the shows).
Kentucky Prophet is opening all shows until Portland, when "a friend of FB" will be opening.
