Awesome show...2+ hours.

I don't have the set list handy, but...

Joie played Morning Sickness on an acoustic guitar, and Phil played (and sang) It's Cool Dude on the very same acoustic guitar. The best Chicago area show this year!

What the hell am i doing up this early? Well, my buddy who saw his first DADA show last night ("That was awesome!" he kept repeating) had to make it to the airport, so here i am...

Las night's show at Martyr's ripped it up. The stage was really wide, so all of us there were only about 0-15 feet away, which was a big change from the last 3 times i've seen the boys, all at old theaters. And they really extended and noodled around with almost all of the songs, very cool. So here we go with the setlist. Pretty much the same record we've all been hearing for the past few months, but what a damn fine record it is.

Dim
Playboy In Outerspace
Surround
A Trip With My Dad
Feet To The Sun
Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
Sick In Santorini
Heaven And Nowhere
Ask The Dust
Morning Sickness (Joie solo on acoustic while Phil and Mike take a break)
It's All Mine (no guitar, Mr. Gurley still resting up)
Feel Me Don't You
Mary Sunshine Rain
Moon
Posters
Dizz Knee land
------------------
It's Cool Dude (Yes, BFJ! PHIL on solo acoustic guitar!)
Bob The Drummer
Baby Really Loves Me
Dorina

I hung out a little after it was over and passed out my pocketful of lighters. Hope whoever got one digs it. Then we ran into Phil on our way out and chatted with him for a couple minutes next to the tour bus. Very nice guy. All in all a great night. I didn't get to see the opening act since i was down at the Chicago Cultural Center watching the 1925 silent classic Nosferatu with live accompinament by <html><a href="http://www.alloyorchestra.com">The Alloy Orchestra</a>. (Highly recommend seeing them if they come to your town.) And i didn't get a chance to talk to the 2 very attractive women who ended up right in front of me for the whole encore, ah well, loserdom...

I bought Joie's CD and the live official bootleg from Nick, the merch. guy, and picked up a copy of BFJ for my friend with me. This morning as i cracked open the live dada cd i was amazed to find MY NAME in the credits!!! Holy crap, how'd i do that?!??!?

Happy touring, kids

I have to agree, this was a great show. Though there the setlist had the familiar favorites, they kept it pretty fresh. Lots of energy, lots of frenetic playing, lots of happy fans. I have to admit, I was really surprised at the two solo tunes (Joie and Phil). Oh, and don't forget the new dada song (It's All Mine), "not available in any store." I ran into Phil on the way out, and we chatted about the band and the new CD. Anyhow, I look forward to the new record (!) and tour next year.

It was a great show and I took a lot of pictures that I'm downloading now. I Will post them on my web site tonight. I was standing by the post on the right side of the stage. Had a nice chat with all the boys after the show.
On a side note I stopped in Rockford on the way down as my really good friend t-boned a bus last Saturday. He's in ICU with a head injury and they are keeping him totally sedateted so his brain can heal itself the best it can. Not sure how he'll come out of it so fellow dada fans, please send out some good vibes to Cliff.

I stopped bang'n my head against the wall just long enough to say...STOP IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! Tell me I REALLY DIDN’T miss seeing and hearing Joie play "Morning Sickness" on acoustic...and Phil...OMG!... playing "It's Cool Dude"!!! That is way cool! To all of you that made that show...you lucky devils!! What an extra special gift you received!! I am sooooooo jealous of you all!!!

Some more thoughts from the show, now that I'm awake...

Can I get a "Hell yeah" for Jeremy, dada's tech? He's the guy that sets it all up, tears it all down and packs it away on the bus.

If you have a minute after a show, say hello and thanks...he's the big guy with the Asian script tattooed on his arm (sorry, I don't know which language, so I gave a blanket "Asian" description, which I hate).

Last night, unfortunately, some bozo who was grossy overserved thought it would be funny to RIP Michael's set list off the stage half way through the concert. Well, my man Jeremy went into the crowd, had a few choice words with this upstanding gentleman, and got it back. He then proceeded to place two HUGE strips of gaffer tape on the list so this clown wouldn't be able to rip it off again.

After the show, this same guy WALKS RIGHT UP ON STAGE and asks Jeremy for one of the set lists, to which Jeremy replied, "Get off of my stage" over and over.

So, bravo, Jeremy, for the job that you do getting these guys up and sounding great night after night...oh, and playing bouncer when you need to!

I was standing right next to the guy that took the set list. I looked at him and said "What the __ck are you doing?". Then I saw Jeremy coming and knew he was in trouble.
I talked to Jeremy after the show and since he was working said come up on stage to talk as he worked. Well a dude from the club said I had to get off the stage. No big deal.

They like Chicago! They're nice to us. Big raspberries to you all for not being there!!!!! JUST KIDDING! It was awesome, awesome, AWESOME!!!!! I planted myself in front of Michael and stayed there all night. They were on fire, with lots of jams, and MANY snippets of other songs, anything they felt like playing in the moment. And the acoustic stuff was a treat. Some great crazy hair moments for Joie. A few times, I saw Michael smiling, watching Joie jamming on his bass, practically giving himself brain damage with how into it he was. I gotta say, Phil is one talented dude! After the show, I joked with him that he should dump "the other 2" and go out on his own. Teeheehee!!!!

Of course, I AM kidding about that too... He said the new CD should be out early next year... I told him I'm holding him to that. Michael was his usual mellow self after the show... and he remembered me from the last Chicago show, which was great. And Joie was, as always, willing to yap about his new CD, and anything else that came up. Regarding what happened to Michael's setlist (detailed in Darren's post): Way to go Jeremy!!!! You ROCK!!!!!!

I saw the photo of you and Michael...you lucky devil. I can't believe all 5 times I've seen the band I've forgotten to bring a camera...what a knucklehead I am.

Glad to hear the wife got her fair share too.

After the hug she got from Phil I don't think she'll mind a cyber hug!!!
Chicago was my 5th show this tour, also saw them in 97 in Madison.
We really got lucky in the mid-west.
I may be going to the Denver show.

Cool! Of course you'll have to fill us in on the Denver show. Yes, we were way lucky in the mid west. I was trying to get some sympathy about not being able to make it to the Ann Arbor show...needless to say it didn't work.

If I wouldn't have had to attend a weeding last weekend, we would have went to the Champaign show.
I wish my official boot CD would arrive!!:mad:
I should have bought one in Chicago.
Got Mike and Phil's Jazz CD there and that is pretty cool. Way different though.
