Really loved the Teenage Fanclub show on Friday. Arrived later than I thought I would, so skipped looking for the meetup. Enjoyed the opener's set; then ran into a friend from college who is a huge TF fan. Hung out with him and his wife. I would have loved to hear Star Sign. But was otherwise happy with the set. Afterwards chatted with Norman, took a picture of college friend and his wife with Norman. He seems like a genuine nice fella.

If you are a downloading type of person, the Bowery Ballroom show is here (and they played Star Sign followed by The Concept):

That's too bad. They seemed to be enjoying themselves onstage big time.
Yes…it's just unfortunate though. Band dynamics are complicated. People are complicated. I get the sense that this was a way to properly close the chapter and feel like they did something good. It satisfied their desire to finish their story and end on a happier note. I respect and admire that in a way. But it also feels like there was more there…more good music, more great gigs. Maybe they'll change their minds. But for now, that's highly unlikely.
As you were saying…..this seals it. :(
http://www.brooklynvegan.com/lush-cancel-tour-dates-after-bassist-phil-king-quits/Lush bassist Phil King has left the group, which has caused the cancelation of the band?s upcoming European tour dates. The official statement from Lush:
We are very sad to announce the departure of Phil King from the band. As a result, we will no longer be able to appear at the Iceland Airwaves and Rolling Stone Weekender festivals ? massive apologies to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us play there. We are in the process of acquiring another bass player and look forward to our final show at Manchester Academy on November 25th.
Very sad to hear that Phil?s left the band. In addition to playing with Lush, King has a long UK indie pedigree, having played in Felt, The Servants, Biff Bang Pow!, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and others.
Lush, who reformed last year after 20 years away, played two shows in NYC in September

Especially surprising when you consider rock musicians' long legacy of professionalism, work ethic, and skillfulness in working out interpersonal difficulties with others.

dude…he's the bassist
Do you really think he can't be replaced….crazy they would cancel all those dates
I bet they could get some uber-fan (ala Henry rollins) to jump in and take over

Except that Rollins, ya know, doesn't play an instrument. But your overall point is a good one. How hard could it be to find some bass-playing uber fan? Or just get Flea to do it. He's always up for this kind of thing. And frankly, maybe Lush could use a little slap-bass funkization

Enjoyed the Jerry Garcia tribute at Constitution Hall last Friday. I mainly went to see Alison Krauss sing some ballads. And that she did. The Peggy - O was gorgeous as was I'll Take a Melody. Midnight Moonlight was great, rollicking, earthy fun.
John Medeski was a great choice on keys, especially the B-3. Merl would have been proud.
Jamey Johnson was a pleasant surprise. I didn't know his stuff. His husky, twangy vocals were perfect for the likes of Mama Tried, Georgia on my Mind, etc.
Warren's….., well Warren. Consistently great instrumental chops.
The only drawback was that the sound got a little muddy at times. Hard to discern Alison's fiddle.
Raymond Weber, the (New Orleans) drummer, apparently has played with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Dumstaphunk.
The venue was maybe 3/4s full.
Long live the Captain!!!

Sounds great Bagman.
In the other shows no one cares about ( :P) file:
Last night, I was at the "Look Park" show at the Barns/WolfTrap. Was not heavily attended; so was happy to purchase at the door and save $9.25 in service charges. Chris was his usual deadpan laconic self; he had a lead guitarist (from the Winterpills) and a keyboard player. The new songs were great live - lotsa really nice plush harmonies. The Fountains of Wayne songs were fun: Red Dragon Tattoo, Dip in the Ocean, Barbara H., etc…Show at 8, over by 9:30ish, home by 10. Solid night of entertainment.

Didn't go to the show, but love me some Jamey Johnson. He kicks Chris Stapleton's ass in a fat, bearded ugly guy music competition.

The Elvis Costello show was excellent. Clocked in just under 3 hours emphasizing songs from Imperial Bedroom. Elvis and the band sounded great. Other than Elvis, Steve Nieve was the highlight-f'ing genius.

Love Imperial Bedroom stuff. Show was great. Not sure how long the tour has been going but Elvis sounded a bit hoarse. And he dragged the vocals behind the music too much for my liking. But an overall solid show. And Nieve was brilliant as usual.

Loved the show.
Imperial Bedroom probably in my top 10 favorite records.
Loved the show.
34 Songs!
Loved the show.
He has been dragging the vocals behind for awhile; not my favorite affect. Wondering if it's harder to stay with him for the rhythm section…But I guess Pete and (Not Bruce) just stay on the beat and EC knows that they will always be there to keep the song intact.
Loved the show.
I dislike seated venues.
Pills and Soap!
Loved the show.

congrats to those that made it to the Elvis Costello!
I was bummed to miss it.. he always delivers………..nice seat Challenged!
I don't like seats either but the Warner has some real nice acoustics and you know he played there in 78 (when it wasn't seated) so its a cool place to see him in..
I seen him there twice… both spectacular.. one time after the show I caught him by the bus and he signed my UK This YEars Model (one of my favorite records ever)

Beautiful venue; agreed. Somehow despite seeing him around ten(?) times, never saw him there before…
Saw the buses parked on 12th street at the Nordstrom Rack. Could not wait around after the show.

19 songs in the primary set, and 15 encore songs? I hate that. Nice set, tho!
