The War On Drugs - The Piece Hall, Halifax
Sophie & I went to watch The War On Drugs at the Piece Hall, Halifax. Parking was an issue.
Warpint - the support was already on and the balcony was full. We got a spot right at the end.
Then at about 8;45 The War On Drugs came on and were brilliant. Bloke next to me asked me if I seen them before to which I told him twice. He and his partner had seen them three times - once in Hamburg, which he told me was cheaper than seeing them at the O2 in London and they stayed 2 nights!
Set list was
Pain
Oceans of Darkness
An Ocean in Between the Waves
I Don't Wanna Wait
Victim
Strangest Thing
Harmonia's Dream
Red Eyes
In Chains
Play It All Night Long
(Warren Zevon cover)
Living Proof
Come to the City
Eyes to the Wind
Under the Pressure
I Don't Live Here Anymore
We left after I Don't Live Here Anymore - which was excellent but not as good as the version with Lucius singing backing of course. Apparetnyl they finished with
Occasional Rain
Strange Boat

The Mountain Goats - Waylon Jennings Live!

Drunk at the Meskwaki casino
Right where God intended me to be
Looking up at the one man in this room
Who's handled more cocaine then me
Think back on the good times just an hour or so ago
Before I got myself this drunk
When the valet parked my rented Mitsubishi
With a beat up old brown suitcase in the trunk
Full of firearms and flash drives
Full of passports
And international money orders
For just in case I make it cross the border
Get a postcard from the gift shop
Let my family know I'm doing fine
Looking up at a map up on the ceiling
To find the place where we all meet up further on down the line
Head back to my table
Get another scotch and soda for the road
The band on stage is really working off a head of steam
Close my eyes and lean my head back, dream a little dream
Full of firearms and flash drives
Full of passports
And international money orders
For just in case I make it cross the border
