| I cannot believe Mr. Frank Black is playing such a small venue. I am soooo excited. Cafe du Nord is one of my favorite venues in the City. Who else is going? |

Should be a kick ass show

Walk from Fisherman Wharf to Market Street?? Nooo, you don't want to do that walk. Take a cab, or, take the street car down the embarcadero to market, then take a street car down market to just north of van ness.
It's a long, dirty walk.

Not only would that walk be long and possibly dirty, it would be up Russain Hill, down Russian Hill, up Nob Hill, and down Nob Hill. And when a hill is big enough to be officially named, it's usually not something you want walk up and down too much. : ) See you guys there!

Tedbra, is there a decent place to park around CDN? That whole lower Market area is a total cluster
Thanks,

It's hard as hell to find parking there. I usually end up going on quite a walk. See You there.

| Whiskeyshoes, I usually don't have a problem. Usually takes me like 5 minutes to find something. Try on 15th next to the gas station across the street from CDN. There's like 12 spots in a row there so you might get lucky. Cheers! Rock and Roll! |

oh man, Frank Black is back! If you can remember the way the shows were back when the Pixies reunion was never, ever going to happen in a million years, well, that's kind of how this show was. I'm not even going to try and recount the entire setlist because is was long (but I noticed someone in the front row writing it down,so we should have it soon), but man was it ever incredible. Frank seemed to be rusty on many songs, clearly strugling to remember lyrics and ending songs short, ommiting verses (understandable, I think, and didn't really take away from the show at all). Every album (except Devil's Workshop) was represented. I started seeing Frank right before Dog in the Sand came out and I have seen him somewhere between 15 and 20 times since and he played several songs I've never heard live before (Men In Black (also played the Marsist from COR), I Heard Ramona Sing, Back To Rome, Parry the Wind High Low). Only two Pixies songs (a sort of Chicago blues style Cactus and encore Mr. Grieves). He was joined on stage by Eric Drew Feldman in the later half of the set. The crowd was really into it, cheering loudly for many songs. Everyone seemed happy to have Frank back in this kind of venue. the "yo soy un Pistolero" bit in Western Star was a particular crowd pleaser, as was "Got me down" in Headache. Not as many Honeycomb songs as I thought there would be, but what he did play was awesome, the new songs were really great as well, one called Dead Man's Curve was a real standout. Sorry about the scattered review here, but I'm both really tired and very excited. I can't wait for tommorow's show.

Bootlegs, eh?
I captured the 3/14 show for the most part. Great show! Taped from the crowd, but pretty decent since he played a lot of new/quiet stuff and the crowd was very attentive and into it! An enthusiastic but super drunk guy wanted to sing along, and he wasn't in tune for a couple of songs. But I'll get the 3/4 of the how that you would want to hear up somewhere as soon as I can.
EDF was standing in the crowd right behind me and my wife for the first half of the show. Cool! I recognized him but didn't bother him (or let him know I was taping ;)

What about the setlist please?! He really played "I Heard Ramona Sing" and "Parry The Wind High Low"? ... Fucking awesome.
And if the boot circulates, it would be cool to mention it too please.  |

Well, FB management wouldn't approve putting my recording on the podcast, but I think people might still want to hear it. FB once said "tape away" about recoring his shows, so hopefully this isn't a no-no in general.
http://download.yousendit.com/CCF463CD2B099035
Anyone who wants to host it, feel free. I believe Dean has all of these, so maybe he can put it on the FTP.
And to the folks who have asked me about getting a "lossless" quality recording, "not an mp3" - this was recorded at less than average mp3 quality on a voice recorder. Making it a FLAC is not going to improve the sound. For what it is, it's certainly listenable.
Love,
