Super Furry Animals Rollcall

Great show…I wish SFA came around more often. The sound was fantastic.

Not only was the sound fantastic, it wasn't ear splitting loud…

I wish all shows were like that.

im with sweetcell on this show. in BK it was just Holy Fuck and SFA. Holy Fuck were brilliant and the crowd loved them. They played a solid set lasting probably close to an hour. They were quite excited and kept saying how they'd be back in about a month or so. Ill definitely be at their next show - although Im figuring out how to see Digitalism first and not miss Holy Fuck.

SFA were great as always. Solid set, but it lacked the energy that was there previously for HF. Gruff sounded great, and they were excited to play the songs the audience voted on. The first one was "Northern Lights", forgot what the others were. They played for an hour and 40 or so. Im tempted to see them again at Bowery, but not sure yet if Ill commit.

The setlist was as follows:
The Gateway Song
Runaway
Golden Retriever
Do or Die
She's got Spies
Neo consumers
northern lights
battersey
carbon dating
zoom
the gift
earth
juxtapozed
into the night
show your hand
receptacle
slow life
baby at my eightball
calimero
earth
destroy you
hello sunshine
man dont give a fuck
cosmic trigger

rings around the world - was played at some point, not on the set list. they started playing songs that people were yelling out, so the list was a bit messed up - as gruff pointed out.

I had a good time as well. Spent an hour or so with Gruff earlier in the day and he was really sweet. A little out of it…but nice all the same.

recognize mah reviewin' skillz.

shit - how to choose between digitalism and HF (appearing with a place to bury strangers)?!? i don't think you/we will be able to make both shows, i'm fearing both acts will be hitting the stage at about the same time. dang dang dang. going to have to think about this one. thoughts? help?!?

i was chatting with someone who claimed that it was the seventh or eigth time he was seeing SFA, and he also stated that this was the most "subdued" he had ever seen them. his tone was tthat of apology with a light hint of disappointment.

Setlist addendum: I don't remember them playing Northern Lights but I know they played Torra Fy Ngwallt Yn Hir and possibly The International Language of Screaming (these were my highlights along with She's Got Spies and everything off Hey Venus!).

Digitalism on a Saturday night at webster = early show. as far as i can tell - HF is headlining at North 6 which means late show over there. I wouldnt think HF will be on before 11pm (at the earliest). Im going to call Bowery at some point and find out if HF is def headlining.

and Cornelius ended at 10:30 this past Saturday night, if that gives any sort of indication (also at webster)

good to know about the cornelius precedent. additonal info:

according to the website of the Music Hall of Williamsburg, show starts at 10:00 so HF on at 11:00 sounds right.

according to digitalism's myspace, they go on at 9:30. i'd definitely want to confirm that, tho. TM states that doors are at 7:00. i haven't heard anything about an opener.

hopefully taking the L from webster to williamsburg will be do-able :)

very do-able assuming trains are running on time. its like a 5 min walk (max) to Music Hall of W'burg from there. And the L is near Webster Hall as well.

I've seen them 5-6 times over the years, starting with their show at the old Black Cat before Radiator came out in the US (1997?), and every show has been less exciting than the last.

But that first show was dy-no-mite. As they did then, they encored with Man Dont Give a Fuck and it seemed to last like 15 minutes.

I wish I could remember who the opener was, because I remember they were great.

I'm pretty sure radiator was out at that time because I was at that show and remember already knowing the album. I had the version with their b-sides disc included that was on flydaddy.

I also had the double-disc set with b-sides, but I could've sworn I'd bought it on import. You might be right that it had come out in the US, but if it had, I think it had come out within a day or two.
