[2] with Brian Felix on keys; with Baba O’Riley (The Who) and Bright Lights, Big City teases
[3] “Jimmy Stewart” with lyrics

This Kat’s> Ringo> BLBC> Ringo & Nemo are seriously amazing segments. The darkness of the majority of set 2, with that Nemo jam in the middle, was quite the head fuck. Abacab to start the set off was so perfect.

Accidentally went a little deeper than I had expected that night, but it was perfect.

Really great show that night!

Might have to spin this one…thanks brother.

Sure thing. I changed a few things on ATU with the setlist. But the second set is kind of must-hear. Just so fun and fluid.

That was such a small room; the first of the infamous Pittsburgh load-in and load-outs that they hated so much. The Deli Co., The Renaissance Hotel, Mr. Small’s Funhouse. All difficult access-wise.

I have yet to catch them in Pittsburgh but I do recall hearing about Mr. Small’s being a bitch to load in/out. Funny to see it was a recurring issue prior to Stage AE.

There was a nasty storm coming in after the 12.13.2003 show and load-out was on this hill adjacent to the venue. Just remember this rush to get going, coupled with a “wintry mix.”

This was a fun show and the start of my first four night run, I believe. I lobbied Joel for a while to bring back the lyrical stew after I think they played it one more time (which was called “Seasons” on umlive). Unfortunately the Seasons we know now is a completely different song.

Love this show

Love this Lyrical Stew. One of my favorites, I unfortunately couldn’t fully enjoy it at the show because I had an all time hangover from the night before during it.
