Do we know if he is still not smoking?
Can't catch that train is such a cool Small Change era Tom Waits veined song. I cannot wait to hear that no pun intended.
Got to love this stuff. I am almost surprised there is nothing new is in new solo material.

....Where the hell where you seated? Heheheheheh, right next to the guy that did the lighting ;D No idea about tonight though. My back is killing me so hopefully another hour and a half won't lead to too many complications. Mr. Lungs is resting (as in: toking up on the sofa) getting ready for tonight. He is taking his weed to the hotel, so Barriers my sweet, should we get into trouble we will blame you, is that okay? (it shouldn't be a problem as it is medicinal these days... plus he'll do a quick toke up outside). I hope someone will do a tracklisting tonight, i am planning on cuddling up with mah man instead.

so, obviously, this is all fucking amazing. this is the tour ive been waiting/moaning for since the 90s.
there's not a lot to moan about now, is there? Wild Flowers?! jesus.
at first i was a bit surprised by the number of 'rockier' tunes (No Easy Action, Hangin' Tree, Message to Mine) being played in an acoustic environment, but when i look back at it, i think they just know to get the tempo up at times. they're nicely spread out across the set.
Mirrored. Now THAT is a bit of a turn up for the books. who would've guessed that one?!
the covers are interesting - but i cant help but feel that those are more for the performers' interest rather than to keep the punters happy. which is fair enough. at some point, i imagine people will be thinking- "i wish they'd played *insert one of 100 Lanegan originals you'd rather hear* instead of that cover version." .... but hey, it's all good.
all told... i can't wait to see them. i only got tickets for one show.. im now considering trying to get to another. this looks pretty special.

Mirrored too! I didn't even notice that earlier. Blasted diverging tectonic plates! What is their problem anyway?
Well Lungsey try to have as good of a time tonight as you did yesterday. Everything about the show seemed perfect except for the fact I'm on the wrong continent! Have fun!

Not posted on here in years...
Looking forward to seeing Mr Lanegan for a sixth time. However this will be the first time I have ever seen him solo...sweet god it will rule. Hopefully I can get him to sign my Uncle A album this time.
If he plays Wild Flowers at the Glasgow gig I will actually blow up. I will blow up quietly of course...considering the accoustic setting. Hahah

Thanks a lot for what I consider the best videos of Lanegan on Youtube! I now know for sure that I won't make it to any show of this tour. At least, I have these vids! Thanks again

i only got tickets for one show.. im now considering trying to get to another. this looks pretty special. It's fucking amazing, and I too am considering trying to go to another gig. Mirrored was so cool, I never expected to hear that one live. Ever. Like a whole lot of other songs, and there I was thinking I was born too late. So glad I finally got to hear these classic beauties! And no, I'm not going to say I wish they'd skipped a cover. However...... They could bring the house down with " Low". Not complaining though, just something for the lads to consider ;P

No. Too bad, the last time I saw Mark perform there I went home with a free Bubblegum poster.
