i can remember little at the moment. setlist included (possibly not in order):
Sideways in Reverse Hit the City Wedding Dress One Way Street No Easy Action Miracle When your Number Isn't Up Like Little Willie John Resurrection Song Come to Me Driving Death Valley Blues I'll Take Care of You Skeletal History Methamphetamine Blues ---------------------- Strange Religion Gospel Plow Fix
shelley did an impressive version of Strange Religion. Mark did Four Corners on Nick's acoustic set (definitely the highlight of it), which was better than on record because Oliveri was inaudible during the chorus.
sound guy fucked up the levels for the vocals slightly, Hit the City was sung a lot more low-key than on record (but the guitar was higher in the mix, and more distorted) , possibly because Shelley was so difficult to hear. she did a fantastic job though. one of the guitarists looks like evil tattooed Jack White - even wearing red t-shirt.
Mark's singing was better than last years (i dimly recall that he'd had a cold), he didn't seem to be enjoying himself too much, but he's hardly being headhunted as a Blue Peter presenter at the best of times.
on the choice of venue, i maintain that the limelight sucks acoustics-wise. there was also waaay too many people let in at the door, i think the crowd was three deep by the time Oliveri started.
that's all folks, until i sober up and get flashbacks at least. absinthe was watered down.
PS: shelley sounded better than PJ doing Come to Me.

you guys only got 50 minutes, i heard. he played for almost two hours in Belfast; Oliveri played for about an hour before it.
i'm pretty sure there's some songs missing off that setlist...

Excellent performances, crap venue and very loud audience (during the quieter moments - must have been all those QOTSA fans eh?) They played Autopilot & Blues For D as well. Thought Shelley was great but a little quiet in the mix. I wonder has she inspired my budding rock chick wife to get a tattoo! Nick's Acoustic set was quite entertaining as well. Hopefully Mark will play Belfast again - as long as it's not @ the Limelight!

Thought Shelley was great but a little quiet in the mix. Seems to be a general thing wherever they play. Couldn't hear her at all at Birmingham, and our lovely Continental-type members have been saying the same thing as well. While I'm glad that Strange Religion's back in there (cos I've not heard it sung live yet), I still think I'd much rather Ivy was played instead (as it seems to be its replacement now), or Invisible Lantern reinstated and maybe She Knows given a bit of an airing, although that's just wishful thinking on my part. I know it's teh Mark Lanegan Band's tour and not the Screaming Trees, but hearing Ivy and Gospel Plow sung the other day set all my hackles doing whatever it is hackles do...
