Will try to scan the setlist (if anyone is interested) from the Toronto show... songs were (spoilers, perhaps, don't know how similar each show has been - read on at your own discretion)...
--- Tomorrow Never Comes Ambulancer Off The Wall Angles Last Night On Earth Key/Hole Hammer Blows Home Chds The Rising Tide Revolution Blues Lecce, Leaving -- encore -- She Cracked Fire Island --- Show was excellent - but I'm biased because I love the new album. Everyone on stage appeared to be having a lot of fun (which was good) - and only one scream for "Mote" - so, good on ya, Toronto. That being said, I suspect even people not as enamored of the new record will enjoy the live show - a little more frenetic energy throughout. |

Show was really great. The climax of Leecee, Leaving was orgasmic. Or anti-orgasmic. The new album is sort of classic rock ish with folk elements.
The unit is really tight. I would highly recommend you go.

It appears this was a headlining show, eh? I am seeing them in Lawrence in a few days, and really wondering what to expect as an opener. About how long (playtime-wise) was that Toronto set?
I have to admit, seeing a lack of Xtina or Blackt Out highly concerns me. Those are my favorite tracks off each album, and I am REALLY wanting to see them played...or one of them at least. |

I would encourage EVERYONE to go see Lee and Steve. I went thursday and must say, they were such a great live band and played their best songs (sorry i didn't grab a setlist). Lee was very gracious to everyone during and afterwards for coming out.
it was def my musical highlight of the year. |

Cool. Thanks for the heads up. Just got back from this weekend's show, and ya they played Xtina. I am fully content. Was an amazing, amazing show. It was funny how many people I heard in the audience mumbling "that was better than I thought it would be..." and things to that effect. |

that was the general concensus at the show i was at. and they DID play "blackout" along with a cover of "She Cracked" from j richman and the modern lovers - they played those 2 for the Encore, or maybe it was blackout for the last song of the set, can't remember. the bass player is from another planet, so good. |

before I was so-so but after digging this record I am really looking forward to the LA show in December. Shit, the Echo is somehow taking over all the shows the past few years, even the Stones played there this year, TWICE no less!

Overall, this group just seems to be a great outlet for Lee's expression while maintaining a high enjoyment level for all involved. Really a nice act to see. I just hope I soon get a chance to see a headlining set and not just an opener one (although they did get a decent amount of playtime and good sound mix). |

that is exactly what i thought. it was unique in the sense that steve and tim locked in together, and when tim did go off on some wicked riff (which was often but never tiring) he was always locked into steve's groove. its something you can't really notice on the albums, but live, they are so much of a better 'band'. and yes, all smiles the night i saw them. it was a very cool show, they have their own vibe which really works great live. Lee's main focus to me that night was putting the songs in the front and then playing off of that theory. |

I saw them at the Lido in Berlin yesterday. Liked them better than expected. But there were still too many solo guitar.
And of course, the bassist was kool. Was it Cody with the guitars on the side of the stage?

I wonder if the Brooklyn Bell House show is sold out. If it isn't, I'm going to go. I saw him in Philly last year and he completely destroyed. And he opened for M.Ward (whom I do not enjoy)
i'm glad Lee's finally able to embrace and enjoy his new solo career. he's a fantastic songwriter |

To my knowledge, it's not sold out. I saw him on the tour he did when he opened for M. Ward also (I do not enjoy him either, Lee shouldn't open for anybody). |
