with special guest mr Lanegan!! from: www.thetwilightsingers.com/One Night Only Great American Music Hall San Francisco CA Saturday, September 17th 2011 Tickets On Sale This Sunday At 10AM July 18, 2011 - SEATTLE, WA - Originally booked as a make up show for an earlier cancelled date, The Twilight Singers will turn the last night of their Dynamite Steps tour into a special event by performing their revered second album Blackberry Belle in its entirety. The show will take place on September 17th in San Francisco at Great American Music Hall. Tickets will go on sale on this Sunday, July 24th, at 10:00AM PST and can be purchased at the box office or online at: www.gamhtickets.com/. Special guests that evening will include Apollonia Kotero - who backs up frontman Greg Dulli on that record's "Teenage Wristband" and "Fat City" - and longtime collaborator Mark Lanegan, who duets on the album's epic closer, "Number Nine." Following the conclusion of the Blackberry Belle performance, the group will play a full second set showcasing songs from its entire career. As the final worldwide show in support of the critically acclaimed new album Dynamite Steps (Sub Pop) this will be a must see event for any Twilight Singers fan. "Blackberry Belle is the album where The Twilight Singers' sound truly crystallized," Dulli says. "It captures a distinct moment in time, featuring some of my favorite songs I've ever written." |

very cool, though kind of odd that they're playing that album fully on the last show of the Dynamite Steps tour.

the thing about blackberry belle...it is probably one of the greatest albums, start to finish, that I have ever heard. I have no problem saying "the greatest" instead of "one of my favorites" because while it is my favorite, i think if this album was heard by a great number of people, they would also agree. Some of my favorite albums, i would not consider the greatest albums ever; they are albums I myself enjoy, but i understand Mark Lanegan, for example, is not everyone's cup of tea. Blackberry Belle, is quite simply one great album. I envy every single one of you who will be able to attend this show.  |

For the record, I'm not a Dulli fan. Apollonia had to cancel due to injury or something. I only went for Lanegan. My friend has video of Number Nine, but she wasnt able to get Boogie Boogie. That song is pretty killer live. Video/Pictures will eventually be posted, but dont hold your breath. Attachments:

And yes, the event was being filmed.

Don't get the kiddies hopes up with mention of the event being filmed. A number of TS shows have been filmed, never to see the light of day.  We can but hope, but .... |

so, miracle you sat through 2 hours of Twilight Singers but "you were only there for Lanegan" did you achieve any greater understanding of Dulli and his greatness? I felt the same way as you did the first time I saw TS and man what a showman ...sorry this isn't Greg's board so I'll stop it
but you forgot to mention Mark also sang backups on God's Children and also sang Live with Me as well as Boogie Boogie in the 2nd set

I mentioned Boogie Boogie.
I'm not a Dulli fan.
I've missed Twilight singers/Gutter Twins before because I just don't like Greg Dulli. Yes, there was no greater understanding of his supposed greatness by me.
Basically, 23 dollars to hear Mark sing Boogie Boogie= my moneys worth. Along with him doing backing vocals.
I still have yet to post marquee photos, setlist images, more Lanegan pictures, etc.
I currently dont have a functioning camera, so my friend was courteous enough to get all of the above. I dont have it on my harddrive, but should post it eventually.

Thanks for posting the setlist.
It looks like it must have been a fun evening. I would kill to see them play some of those first record gems live.

this is not really mark related but perhaps interesting for some, twilight singers will be releasing a digital live album next month and until november 15th a physical 2cd copy will be available through their site, after this date it wont be available there or anywhere else: www.thetwilightsingers.com/ |
