Setlist :
echo park
faith
lonely astronaut
king of the pavement
slide away
turn you on
dead savior
even when yer blue
a smile that explodes
could we survive
redemption's son
temporary people
all the old heroes (aborted)
honey and the moon
invisible hands
in the sun
Recording :
The concert was officially recorded, and was available for download on JA's website

Ruined in rouen |
I thought I was ruined in rouen But their love brought me back from the dead Hang on to this ride Fuck the moment Live in the moment Its better when dreams don't come true They push you harder to be more than u though u could do I thought I was ruined in rouen But it all came to me there The next dawn of inspiration I gotta protect like a seed Bury it some place deep We drove all the way from london And caught a ferry We barely spoke a word I was sinking on the ship but it floated the whole way across We were stuck on the highway in france And in that small vw with my stuff crammed in the back I got in all sorts of various positions in order to obtain that rare dignity called sleep The crossed legs up on the dash with the neck pillow holding up a hanging head I thought I was ruined on the way to rouen When we arrived The place was tiny and carved out of stone I ducked into the small enclave basement where a claustrophobic stage was made for me to sing my song Newspaper articles about my arrival hung on stone walls The whole thing was really weird but nice and strange and wrong and right I wrote a new song at soundcheck Based on new inspiration And when we goto the hotel The keeper had my picture there too He called me sid He called me lou I was late for the gig And dying for a moment to find some dignity This road life Is no easy matter But then what kinda life is? |
