Was there as well and totally agree - awesome. Tom looking very
relaxed and genuinely seemed to be enjoying himself and acknowledging
the audience response. Sound was great and Jimmy Rip deserves a
mention as well - followed Tom wherever he went. Whole gig just
emphasised what a unique musical sensibility Verlaine has as a guitar
player and songwriter. Sublime.
Graham
Set List (broadly):
- The Day on You, Tom alternating with fingers, pick and slide. As
Billy mentioned amazing slide.
- Souvenir from a Dream
- Earth is in the Sky. Dedicated to his 'pop'.
- Rain Sidewalk / LJJ with Jimmy comping along Sweet Georgia Brown
style on the latter.
- Let Go the Mansion
- Documentary
- Orbit
- Scientist
- Biker Theme
- Pillow
- Words from the Front
- Kingdom Come
- Nice Actress
- Prove It - in a style reminiscent of Stand by Me!
- Encore ???
Think there was also Also Heavenly Charm and Ancient Egypt in amongst
that lot.

Well I was at the Glasgow ABC gig last night, was awesome.
Tom playing slide - unbelievable! He was hitting the slide off the
guitar, playing beyond the fretboard - he was playing a strat with
what looked like Danelectro pickups on it. It was the most awesome
electric guitar sound I have ever heard, and there wasn't a
self-indulgent widdle in sight all evening. He also only used the
bridge pickup for all (or nearly all) of the songs.
I'm going to have to get Dano pickups for my Jaguar. Pillow
Words From The Front
Prove It
Kingdom Come
Souvenier From a Dream
LJJ
Ancient Egypt
Lots of instrumental jams
Tom said, after about three songs in:
"You've probably guessed by now that we're just rehearsing up here".
He also said "My pop was born about 20 miles from here. Can't
remember the name of the village. And if I did, I probably couldn't
pronounce it."
Also: "Suppose I better introduce the band. This is Jimmy Rip". I
had to go myself as I couldn't contact anyone on the list (Joe, you
are a legend for getting this thing back on) but I met a cute girl
who was there on her own so hey! Not all bad! She was taking
pictures and said she is going to email me - I'll pass those on to
any interested parties! Also got a pic of the marquee outside on my
phone.
Thank god the list is back on. I have a few Q's, if anyone out
there can help:
Where in the world can I get a copy of Dreamtime on
CD? My Infinite Zero release got "borrowed" and I'm at
the end of my tether. I NEED this album on CD! (I also
NEED Stanley Clarke's "Rocks Pebbles and Sand" and
"Children of Forever" on CD). Does anyone know of a
good CD tracking service or online record store where
I can start looking for Dreamtime?
Does anyone know what Richard's effects board was
like during the recording of Real Time? Did he use a
phaser?
Anyone Seen The List (Glasgow and Edinburgh Events
Guide)? It has Tom mentioned on the front cover and
has a piece on what he likes about NYC. He talks about
a coule of restaurants and a 24 hour coffee shop he
frequents. I will type out the whole piece/scan for
anyone who wants it. It's pretty cool.
