Posted on November 18, 2003 at 10:39 am | No Comments
Attention Twilight Singers / Greg Dulli / Afghan Whigs fans: I just stumbled upon the most excellent Summer’s Kiss website, where Twilight bassist John Ford is keeping a diary of the current tour. His comments on Sunday’s show…
“Tonight we played Boston, which is always a fun time. The crowd was great, but they could have made more noise. Sometimes in between songs I felt like I was in a library. I understand though, all y’all are waiting for some Dulli story and don’t want to interrupt, so on that level, you are very polite. This is rock n’roll though, so make some noise. Still, even though I blew a speaker during the set, I had a great time.”
There’s also a forum for show reviews and bootlegs trading… can’t wait to dive into some live show swapping.
From one of the forum posts, here’s the setlist from Sunday’s show at TT the Bears, and some comments from a fan named whighat65…

FadedBesides that, they played �If I Were Going�, with the crowd doing the brunt of the singing, as well as �Crime Scene Pt. 1�. They did the requisite Prince snippets, abit of Zep�s �Ramble On�, the Layla coda as the ending of the Stevie Nick covers. Also, as Mathias vamped on electric piano, Greg stated �we have a Ray Manzerik groove goin� on� and did the opening to the Doors �The End�.
They started off ferociously w Decatur / That Bird Sings. Bird was great, featuring the gtr sex between Greg & Jon. The bar was set very high w/ that 1-2 punch, and Greg seemed bewildered that the crowd was seemingly indifferent. He made some apparant goofs on the crowd, broke into �Hava Nageela�. He put on a big pout to some girl w/ an attitude, latter singing to her in Twilite Kid to �hold him, hold him� and to her date, �hold her, hold her�, then stating for us all to�hold one another, we�re gonna have an orgy here tonight�. �Annie Mae� was almost metallic, close to stomping the funk out of it, but not quite. The start of the 2nd encore had one or two songs I didn�t know, there was alot of �Shake it� in it. He also quipped twice to �Shake it like a Polaroid picture�.
He was kind enough not to bring up any mention of the local sports teams, other then a reference to �Jimmy from Charlestown, you owe me $500 on the Marlins�.
Last thing he said as he left the stage was �See you all in a couple of months�!
Thanks for the words, whighat65. Hope it’s cool that I quoted ya. That song you didn’t recognize (“shake it like a polaroid picture”) was the Outkast’s “Hey Ya”, by the way.
