Hey everybody,
Just got back from a killer solo "acoustic" show in LA. Acoustic basically meaning Mr. Francis solo with an electric guitar. It was a pretty incredible night, with a good selection of songs spanning his entire career. Here's the setlist:
The Holiday Song
Ed is Dead
Men in Black
I Heard Ramona Sing (dedicated to Joey Santiago)
When They Come To Murder Me
Wheels
Wave of Mutilation
Subbacultcha
Where is My Mind
Classic Masher (new song)
Another Velvet Nightmare
Robert Onion
Don't Get Me Wrong
That Burnt Out Rock n' Roll
Wild Man from Borneo (Kinky Friedman cover)
Nimrod's Son
My Favorite Kiss
Caribou
The Swimmer
Sing For Joy
Encore:
Los Angeles
Mr. Grieves
All in all, it was a great show. The Pixies tunes sounded great, Subbacultcha was an awesome surprise. I Heard Ramona Sing was actually requested by someone in the audience, and Frank played it after saying he was dedicating it to Joey Santiago, who had played on the recorded version of it, and was actually playing another gig across town at that same time. Would've been nice to hear some Teenager of the Year, but I really can't complain, it was an awesome show.
I could picture Classic Masher possibly being a new Pixies tune if in fact that is happening, but what do I know! |

Black was saying he'd read a news article that said masturbation helped prevent prostate cancer.... so... there's that... Then he played The Holiday Song. |

Without wanting to take the thread off-topic too much, I've read differing views on masturbation and its benefits. Some say a wank a day will keep the doctor away (good for the heart and stuff) but I came across (pun initially unintended but now I acknowledge it) a Reddit page listing dozens of apparent health benefits which would happen if you stopped completely. WHICH TO BELIEVE? |

He also recommended masturbation to the audience.
For your health. |

Love the banter at the end of 'Classic Masher'. And the song's pretty good, too. |

The new song is super cool. And I like Frank's banter afterward. Thanks for recording it, Yarbles. |

Man, Classic Masher sounds fantastic. I really should stop opening the links to these new songs, it'll dampen the impact of the new album. Can't wait now; throw a Joey Santiago solo in there and it's gonna amaze.

Sing For Joy (not Los Angeles) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8JE5H1L6WA Also, why don't people shut up?
Normally I dislike people viewing concerts through their camera but he was really on form last night!

I'll post it tonight when I get home from work. I also recorded Men In Black, Ramona, Wave of Mutilation, Where is My Mind, and Los Angeles/Mr. Grieves if anyone's interested in seeing those.

The other song sounds like 'Wild Man from Borneo', the Kinky Friedman song. |
