(It would also appear I have the Fez gig. I'd have to convert to mp3 though.)
I'd be eternally grateful for the Fez gig if you could post it...

Hmm, none of them should be cut as far as I'm aware -- let me know which one/s and I'll check/re-upload.
I probably got the Fez gig from Dime-a-Dozen. Unfortunately I'm only on mobile 'broadband' at present so can't do the full torrent, but I'll encode it as mp3 and post it somewhere shortly.
(However, as luck would have it, Valentine & Garuda is cut off near the end!)

FYI... Of about 320 FB solo songs (excluding those from NSE and Grand Duchy), I counted 221 that were played live at least once, 205 with a band and 150 acoustically.
Yeah, that's useless.

Here's the Fez gig... I've uploaded it as separate mp3s as the sound isn't great, so you can take the songs you want and skip the rest...

See the 'original notes' file for tracklist and, well, notes.

dude, you have made my day! and sound? I'd be happy with one end of a soup can and string. the crazy 4th track where Frank asked Reid to sing one song while Frank sang another (johnny rev) brought back memories. So many songs we may never hear played again.
Thanks! |

I think these songs sound the best (of course I grabbed the whole set) mainly because they sound like Frank enjoyed playing them the most and are the freshest fruit in the bunch.

Just for the record, I didn't record it -- it probably came from Dime-a-Dozen.

I understand though, and I apologize again to those who's night I might have adversely impacted with my obnoxious oenophilic overzealous obliviousness. It truly was one of the best shows of my life - and I had a lot too much to drink!
Having said that -- I just listened to the version from this set of All My Ghosts, and I have to say that the chorus of people around me doing the backing vocals is kinda cool....
No? Well, clearly I am biased towards the sing-along.
In any case, I apologize again these seven years later to Brian and anyone else who was there. So far I can't hear any 'leg drumming' on the tape, thank goodness.
Hopefully we'll have a chance in NYC sometime again soon for me to be on my best concert-going behavior even in the face of a quiet show from my all-time rock-godhead.
PS great thread and thanks for the Fez link!

Haha, no worries. I had a few drinks in me that night, which probably accounts for my fuzzy memories and irritability.
PS - one of the great regrets of my gig-going life was not sticking around Fez that night. Apparently FB and co did karoake after hours there. That would've been cool.

At the risk of engendering more resentment towards me, I actually got to be a part of that little after-hang upstairs since my friend I was with at the time and I were friendly with Reid Paley. It basically amounted to having Charles buy everybody in the group a beer and sitting around in a big mass chatting trying not to bother the man and/or look too super-fany (especially after the behavior I displayed at the show, which actually I still wasn't too aware of at this point!) As a result I didn't even try to talk to him. He was really friendly and chatty with everybody though - his brother, too. And Reid is a hilariously gregarious guy too so it was a fun night, and didn't last too long if I (can) recall...
I do recall at some point running into the man in the bathroom (where I can only assume I spent a lot of time that night) but he was dialing his cel phone so as he put the phone to his ear I just offered a general "great show, thanks" and he sorta smile-nodded in a kind of 'thanks' face and then I went to pee and left him basically alone. And then I went out to the karaoke they had going on across the bar from where we sat and did a rocking rendition of "Cult of Personality", in my alcohol-soaked mind, a great idea at the time.
But I can take joy in the fact that Frank Black/Black Francis bought me a beer once, albeit sorta indirectly. Even after I might have annoyed him at his show! That is class.

Hey. Thanks a bunch for the Fez gig.
Blast Off and Fazer Eyes were cut from the files you posted. The other ones are fine (and great).

Here's Blast Off, fixed:
http://www.hi-toro.com/music/misc/blastoff.mp3
@Sam: Denis meant that the files are incomplete (so anyone interested, please re-download the above).
However, I checked Fazer Eyes and the original flac file is the same -- it's because it sort of flows into Bad, Wicked World, but there's literally just one snare beat cut off.

you know what would be really really cool. if frank did a stretch of shows in a certain city and played his entire catalogue!!! ya. that would be phenomenal. i'm not sure how many days he would need..say 2 hour sets. 15 days?? i'm not a musician but i would think that would be extremely difficult to do...i'm sure pulling a feat like that could get him into the guinness book of world records...

| thats awesome! he pulls this kinda of performance off so casually, you get to thinking he might flub the next line but rarely he do. Many times, like in this case the song takes on a whole new intensity. |
