Does anyone know what to expect in New York? The whole band? A slimmed down version? Sorry if this has already been covered, just curious

Who knows man...and that very thing is what is going to make this show so special. The fans in attendance will have no idea who'll be on stage and what songs will be played.
I'm crossing my fingers he plays the winding sheet or boracho. How great would that be?

I've been waiting for a proper Mark Lanegan show for years. Tonight, I think they delivered. A good mix of older and new. The recording sounds pretty good so far. If a better one doesn't surface sooner, I'll share it with you here. I bought the 10" vinyl from Union Chapel on 8/18/2010 ($25!) - he also had the other CD-Rs on offer. I delivered the short story about having a hard drive full of recordings, but never heard a solo show in person and he seemed pretty gracious as he signed it. The band is good. Let's make sure each date gets documented.

Good morning everyone. There didn't appear to be many people recording the show last night. I recorded the first 3 songs on my digital camera, but I was trying to be really discrete about it, so video didn't come out too well. Plus I was pretty drunk.
If no other video surfaces and there is a demand for it, I'll try get my video up as soon as I can, but it doesn't look like it'll be today. Reasons being;
1. I have to head back to Philly in a couple hours
2. I'm using my work laptop which doesn't have video editing software(video currently is 22 mins long and 2 gb in size)
and 3. I'm a bit hungover.

Very interesting setlist. Can´t wait to listen a record of the show. A good mix between new stuff and older material. Ok, the focus is clearly on "Blues Funeral" and the "Bubblegum" / "Here comes that weird chill" era. Miss the "Whiskey" stuff like "Pendulum". But nevertheless it seems to be very interesting. Unfortunately no "Phnatsasmagoria Blues". Hopefully there will be a recording of the show sold during the European shows in acouple of weeks. Any new live CD´s?

I'm sure the whole of Blues Funeral will be covered by the end of the tour - leading to the juicy prospect of a Blues Funeral Live compilation.... |

blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2012/02/mark_lanegan_bowery_ballroom_february_7_review.phpMark Lanegan Band Bowery Ballroom Tuesday, February 7 Better than: Drowning. Mark Lanegan has a voice. You know? It's like those super-high-definition photographs of people that don't get airbrushed, that show the lives the subjects have lived in every wrinkle and mole and imperfection. Lanegan's instrument is like that, all weathered and scarred and those flaws somehow making its already existent beauty more arresting, more devastating. Lanegan's new album, Blues Funeral (it's actually credited to the Mark Lanegan Band), highlights the searing qualities of the singer's vocal by placing it against backdrops that are startlingly beautiful, lush and at times even cheery. (The record was produced by Alain Johannes, who was also responsible for Lanegan's 2004 album Bubblegum.) "Harborview Hospital" has a lengthy, synth-spangled outro that recalls New Order's "Temptation"; "Quiver Syndrome" has oohs and ahhs that bring to mind the Dandy Warhols' cheeky "Bohemian Like You." The lyrics remain full of suffering and pain—illness, heartbreak, the feeling of drowning—making the contrast even starker. Last night at the Mercury Lounge Lanegan and his band ran through a set full of tracks from Blues Funeral, which came out this week; older material like the swaggering "Sleep WIth Me" folded right into the new songs, his voice providing the through line for the night. He clutched the microphone like it was a life raft, breathing and moaning his words into it as if they might be his last as he sang of water, rivers, going under. The album's lush production translated surprisingly well to the Bowery Ballroom's tight confines, and while Lanegan's voice did get a bit lost in the mix at a couple of brief points, he remained a commanding if somewhat spectral presence, inspiring adulation from the crowd (the number of times someone shouted just his last name had to be in the dozens) even though he addressed it with the barest minimum of banter. Then again, who needs to be teased with pleasantries and shout-outs to [insert city here] when you've got pain to share with a room, and a way to mae the people inside it feel down to their bones? Critical bias: 2012 is still young, but Blues Funeral is easily in my top three of the year so far. (You can listen to it here.)

allthingsnext.com/2012/02/08/mark-lanegan-band-at-bowery-ballroom/Mark Lanegan Band at Bowery Ballroom By Chris · February 8, 2012 · No comments Music · Dark, intense, amazing, dirge, uncomfortable, red lights and cool. I haven’t seen Lanegan perform since Screaming Trees so I knew he didn’t do much on stage. Guess what he still doesn’t. He maybe moved 3 steps the entire night. Most of the time he clutched his microphone with his left hand while his right was on the stand midway down. His backing band was tight, young and the lead guitarist wailed. Secretly I was hoping Jack Irons would be drumming for him. If I am remembering correctly this is everything Lanegan said during the 100 minute concert, “Thank you very much”, (approaching the microphone and almost speaking then just backing down and not saying a word), “Thank you”, “Thank you”, “I love New York too” (after someone yelled out “New York loves you Mark), “Thank you very much” and “Thanks for coming out”. In fact, he didn’t even introduce or thank his guest vocalist. She did get a slight hug and kiss on the check though. Oh I think he smiled once too. A few things that you wouldn’t hear at a Mark Lanegan concert: A lot of banter on stage, “damn he is going crazy up there”, or the quote “…and that’s where I met my wife.”
