Damn! That show looks hot. Anyone taping these?
Props for noting Heroin was done in the Roky style! But, you know “Till the End of the Day” is a Kinks song, right? You know, written by Ray Davies. Don’t ya’ll got the interweb? Oh, and “Too Animalistic” is actually a Vom song. That’s Richard Meltzer to you, kids. But you get a pass on that one.
At least one person (and sometimes more) is taping every show, yes.
I also noticed there a bunch of YouTube clips now available from this night and Night 2. Bonus points for discerning the subtle differences between Ira’s stripey t-shirts.
Oi, that’s what I get for posting setlists at 4 in the morning. Of course it’s the bloody Kinks.
I caught 3 of the shows and Should HAve>Sugarcube>Tom>Heroin was the highlight of the shows for me. Absolute bliss.
