So the concert was brilliant. Amy Lavere, the opener, was brilliant and I was not expecting that. Glen and Marketa were pure genius and there's more chemistry between the two of them than is fair. I've been putting off saying anything in the hope that I would write a proper thing, but the notes I've made next to the songs will have to suffice. The title of the entry, by the way, was part of the very long introduction to "Drowned Out." I would explain, but if you're really that interested, just comment on the entry. All in all, the concert was brilliant and I had a fantastic time. Glen is an amazing communicator and performer, as was Amy, and I couldn't have been happier with the show. To finish off, here's a review by the Washington Post and a little write up by NPR, which also allows you to listen to the concert if you'd like. And now the set list plus notes:

1. When Your Minds Made Up [the gap in the middle isn't meant for clapping cheering, or wooting, it's for silence]
2. Lies
3. All the Way Down [Marketa on vocals]
4. Drowned Out [really long intro]
5. This Low [about making it through the shitty parts of relationships]
6. If You Want Me [Marketa again]
7. Fantasy Man [not the final name, a new one]
8. Falling Slowly [Nore "belts" the chorus without fear]
9. Leave [men actually don't like being confronted by their girlfriends :shock:]
10. Say it to Me Now [ah the drunk girls]
11. Golden [Glen said the room was completely wrong for this song, and I wonder why]
12. Cactus [aka the Pixies sex song]
13. Pavement Tune (I Want My Life to Make More Sense to Me) [and the group sing-along fails]
14. Once
15. Broken Hearted Hoover Fixer Sucker Guy [this is the one everyone remembered]
16. Into the Mystic [by Van Morrison the greatest Irish songwriter ever, according to Glen]
17. Star, Star [the "Freebird" of the concert, by the Frames]
18. You Ain't going Nowhere [by Bob Dylan, everyone on stage, and no we aren't going anywhere {second encore}]
