Thievery Corporation Roll Call

copy and paste from the washington post chat: talking about drums and percussions at last night's show, rob wrote:

Yeah It was a shame when Seth jumped in there, ruined the whole show
assholes
will there be pictures posted? i went yesterday (wednesday)
Looks like I will be there tonight (thursday). Hanging by the board like always…
pictures aren't posted anywhere on 930.com, so if you want pix you're going to have to wait for someone to post them on flickr or some other online photo gallery.
Sweetcell - based on your earlier post, to get a decent spot on the floor (i.e., front 50%, centerish) I need to be in place before 9:00. Sound right?
yup, that was the deal last night. the opener, Federico Aubele, is worth checking out so you want to be there by 9 anyways.

the floor will be packed, you'll be shoulder-to-shoulder, and you'll enjoy every second of it.
Thanks. Can't wait.

Swinger in his late 20's looking for a hot date for the show tonight.

Sexual favors a plus, of course! Drinks on me. Your ticket is free. Just be a sociable hot female under 25 looking to party.

Email me with/for details!

tonight was better than last night-better sound, better crowd, better energy. same exact set list, as expected. no seth though.

tonight (friday) should blow the roof off the club.
i knew they would do the same set every night. probably the same set they did last year. not that i don't like them.

There was something different last night, they were talking about someone doing something special just for that show (thursday). No clue what though. Was a great sounding show, great set too.

Still would love to have heard 2001 Spliff Odyssey.
Agreed - the energy was great last night. Bassist went big, and musicians and singers seemed particularly locked in. The show had a nice burn and was cracking by the end.

Have fun this weekend.

Something different? Percussionist sang on "heart's a lonely hunter"? Last 2 times I saw TC, the Brazilian dude sang that part. I dunno what im talking bout really.

Yes! That was it.
he's done that at lollapalooza this summer and then the one-off shows they did earlier this year. it was just him earlier this year, but i like how he and val double up on it now.
last year was heavier on cosmic game material. this is more varied and indicative of their catelogue. i wish they would feature sista pat a bit more for these shows. that woman rocks.

hi - i did not attend wednesday or thursday, but am headed to tonight's and saturday's show. did see the trio of 2005 shows as well. would you say that the material they are playing for this stand of shows is more mellow/dubby, a la The Mirror Conspiracy & Sounds From the Thievery Hi-Fi? I do hope so, but I suppose I love them so much at this point that they could armpit fart The Battle Hymn of the Republic and I would still be psyched.

Thanks for any further info you can give.

Best -

38.45 was played, several older ones (I am not that good on the album vs. songs). Good mix I thought.
