Here's what I got for the setlist, plus contributions from above. I'm positive about the list from OBH through I Will Sing You Songs, then I can't remember what they played before Dondante and Steam Engine, and then it gets really hazy.

Gideon
Way that he sings
Wordless Chorus
Lay Low
It Beats 4 U
Phone Went West
Off The Record
I Will Sing You Songs

Something else here?

Encore:
Tonight I want to celebrate with you
Easy AM Rebel
Dancefloors
Magheeta

Now that I think about it, I believe they also played Knot Comes Loose in the encore.

the crystal ballroom has a weirdly small stage.  it's curved in the back so there isn't the move around room for the techs.  the fellow working with carl was behind the montiors and guitar racks.  instead of having the gear in the wings, it was off stage to the right.  (the only other show i've seen here was a jeff tweedy solo show, so i hadn't noticed this before).

boy howdy.  i met some very friendly, cool people at this show.  AGAIN.  i kept a setlist during the show and managed to take a few notes (good lord.), but was lucky enough to get carl's setlist at the end of the night (thank you mr. bruce!).  there were no changes from the list.

some moments from the show:

-at the end of the first set patrick made some kind of deft leap over part of the drum riser out to the front stage.  nice move, dude!

-during the big instrumental parts of OTR:  tt-t was playing kneeling in front of his monitor and jim was walking to parts of the stage standing with one foot on the stage, and another on the barrier rail.

-the tail of sing you songs went into that layered, dense musical bit which i now call chiefokonos' echo-jam.  i also have in my notes "big drum fill".  not sure what this is exactly, but i think patrick produced some moving stuff in here.

-after the show waiting at the coat check i saw a girl wearing a shirt that said "ba-ba-bananas-nanas!"  in the mmj spotlight font.  turns out she'd been at the nye fillmore show and had made some other equally fucking rad shirts that her friends were wearing.  SPECTACULAR!

[sweatboard]

Oh Holy Hell Balls that bannanas shirt is flat out off the charts in the cool department.  I need a picture!

ms_yvon, my friend Liz made those shirts. Mine said "it's up to you, what's your pleasure" and all the shirts said "Fillmore 12/31/07?" on the back. She also made one for Jim that had a screenprint of the Lionel Ritchie album cover on the front and "Karamu...fiesta...forever" on the back. She gave it to his guitar tech after the show - we were in the front right corner of the non-drinking section.

[sweatboard]

Can we get pictures of the shirts?  Actually, can I get a bannanas shirt?

[the_wizzard]

Ba...ba...bananas...nanas girl here.  I am down for making some tee's for the diehards who were at the Fillmore.  Unless I get overloaded with requests, all I ask is that you pay for the shirt I print it on.  I live, work, and play here in stumptown...just hook me up with a way to contact you.

And Ms. Yvon, do you want one too?

On another note, my neck is killing me today from thrashing and rocking out in the front row!  So very worth it, especially since I could not see the show at the fillmore.  

[the_wizzard]

Oh...and I was at the fillmore....just a measly 5'1" tall.  

[BH]

That is fantastic!  Nice effort girls!  I guess I wouldn't feel right wearing one since I wasn't there.   If I did get one, I would want it to say  St. Louis 12-31-07?  Ha! ;)

[Kory]

yea, should read 12/31/06... that's the way NYE shows go down 12/31-07 is 354 days away and will be in Louisville, you can quote me on that. ::)

[BH]

I think they were asking for a return in 07 to the filmore!  I couldn't argue with that, but Louisville would be a lot easier for me to get to!

[the_wizzard]

I will make shirts for ever want to represent Bananas...not a problem.

And hey, I definitely respect the need for a Louisville blow out.  But being a west coaster and a deadhead as well, you really cannot beat the Fillmore.  Sound is awesome, setting is beautiful, and the history is so deep.  we are just hoping for another Fillmore NYE due to my job keeping me on the west coast at new years.  

So I can make the shirts more as a homage for you mid-western and east coast kids.

But I am down with St. Louis too (my husband is from the Lou)...just a more difficult journey for me to make  ;)

[the_wizzard]

Sorry...I just got home from a long day (long week...) and realized that I am not typing my thoughts out completely.
I ment I could just put 12/31/06 on the back for those of you not down with a Fillmore recap next NYE.

New Years 07, SIX NIGHTS.......THE RYMAN!!!!!

and those bananas shirts are the mad note.

[the_wizzard]

So when the band played the Aladdin Theater in 2005, I was given a lovely poster by Guy Burell for the show. I did not see a new one at the show this week (but I was more focused on the show than the merch).

But...went to his website and saw he did a poster for the show!

check it out....

[not_that_guy]

Wizzard, I saw one girl at the show with a poster tube.  I did not see any on sale at the merch booth, and was a bit puzzled.  Last night I did some searching and found Guy's site and lo and behold there were the Ballroom posters's, and a bad-ass one (in my opinion) at that.  Definitely had to pick one up.
