Details

Set list incomplete. Only a partial tape of this show is in circulation. Songs marked ^ are based on concert reviews (see whiskeytownavenues messages 2351 and 2355) * with Mike Daly on pedal steel The Poison And The Pain = “The next couple of songs I’ve never played for people before, and there both called ‘The (something) And The (something). Damn, maybe somebody has heard ‘em. And this first song is about the devil, or satan or [???], Lucifer, fucking, that guy. And I really don’t know where to go from that. And actually, when I was writing I thought to myself how strange, how odd it is that Slayer, who I really think are a super, good fucking band that make great records, I am not kidding, everything that they do is really fucking good, but they write a lot of songs about you know, the devil, you know – dial, he’ll page you right back. And then, but then, so did a lot of bluegrass writers and stuff, they wrote songs about the devil only, if you were 14 and brought home a copy of like a Bill Monroe record or something, you parents would probably go, ‘That’s, whatever, great.’ But if you brought home like a Slayer it was this really big fucking deal. So without any further ado, here is my song about the devil.” The String And The Wire = “This is called “The String And The Wire.” . . . It’s really long and really totally boring, so if you need to get a drink or something, this is the best song to go. If I drank, I would go and have a drink.” Statuettes With Wounds = “I originally wrote this song for Caitlin Cary who’s in my band, Whiskeytown, for her record, and she kindly rejected the fuck out of it. Which I thought was really cool which I knew it meant it was a really ‘me’ type tune. Cause for her it would have to sound like I came for Ireland or something. No really, I’m just goofing on her. She liked it, she just didn’t understand what it meant and I said I didn’t either, cause it just happens. So here is that song.” Mining Town = “
