Tonight's Recommended Show: Bright Eyes at The Paramount
Submitted by imaginary liz on May 1, 2007.
Today's the day people!
I know, like me, you've been counting down to tonight's performance since the last time Conor was in town (on March 11th at the Showbox to be precise). Since then, our guy has had his latest album debut at #4 on the Billboard charts as well as had rumors circulate re: his levels of inebriation.
Regardless of fame, success, or overindulgence, tonight's show is going to be glorious--Conor never disappoints. We've all had enough time to memorize the new album (for swaying-along purposes) and flip through the back catalog to figure out which songs we can telepathically hope he'll play tonight.
Now let's all cross our fingers that there wont be a repeat of what happened last night at the BRILLIANT Jarvis Cocker show (more on that in the coming days): A fellow show goer, who was stationed flush up against me at the front of the stage, sang along with Jarvis Cocker throughout the entire show. People, people, people. Promise we'll all play nice and show a little common courtesy tonight?
About 8 more hours until Conor... counting down...

dearie dearie dearie me... the bus was late and so was i. tragic times. anyhow, i've been agaonizing over what i could possible have missed in the first 15 or so minutes of the show. the silly doorman was convinced i was carrying fruit and delayed me yet more, and i finally burst through the last barrier in time to here darling conor utter "fuck my face, fuck my name" (false advertising), how sweet. could anyone pretty please tell me what was played before that? thank ya kindly.

that is so tragic! but i think this was the setlist (as best as i can remember) before false advertising:
i'm certain he started with:
clairaudients (kill Or Be killed)
hot knives
no one would riot for less (or did he do this later?)

thank you thank you canadian friend! i think the hot knives are stabbing me in the heart right now, i really wish i would've been there. i am a bit relieved that he didn't play any old stuff that we might never here again though. thanks again, your help is much appreciated and now i can put this sad little affair behind me and be early next time!

And if Bright Eyes is too indie for you, or not indie enough for you, or whatever, you could always go see Boston band The Sterns at High Dive with Hardison and The Diets.
