I'd happily play any and all of those tunes. Since it'll probably take

us 2 weeks to firm up the list and then we'll get to practice and

someone will demand that we drop 3 and add 2 others, I'll just learn

the entire Pearl Jam back catalog.

 

SO I'M NOT AS FUNNY AS YOU GUYS, SO WHAT???

 

PS The only song I'm really attached to is Push to Close. I don't

think we've played it in 8 years and I really love it. I probably

shouldn't have added this PS 'cause now someone will want to remove it.

DERN!

While I appreciate your efforts, I don't think Ringing in My Ears is a

good last song. Nor do I think 4 songs is an appropriate length for an

encore. But I won't tell you what I think is a good last song or what

I think is a good length for an encore.

 

Other than that, everything looks good. I'm going downstairs to learn

I agree that My Second Chance is a better choice and that it would be better

in the set. Ringing in my ears was on someone's list, so I felt compelled to

select it over 2nd chance.

As for the encore, it was in no particular order...

What about 2nd chance after Airianna?

Ohio Player - E-A-G-B-D-B-F#-C-G (E 2nd time)

Incendiary - D-Am(riff), F buildup, D-G-F-E, A-F-G-E-F (2x), C-G-F-Bb-E

Comet - G#-E, G#-E-A-E-C-F-E-A-E-C-F

King Twist - C#-G#-F#, F#-E-G#, riff E-Eb-B-G#

Blank Fla. - A-D-F-A-D-F, C-E-A

Push to Close -- I'l have to get back to you on this one.

Magazine Man - B-A-F#-E, B-C-G-D, B-G-E

Airianna - I'll have to get back to you on this one.

Joe Louis Punch-Out - E-C-D-F, E, F-G-A-G-F

Truly - Uh, yeah.

Somebody's Best Friend - I think it's F#-A then goes to B and maybe A

-- I dunno...

Boog - I think this one uses all diminished chords with a VI-II-V-I at the end.

Title Track - F#-E-G#

 

These chords are all from notes I took last time we decided to do

this, so hopefully they'll work for now. We can compare notes during

our one practice session. Ahem. Also, just so you knows, the show

apparently is getting the cover of Willamette Week and I've been doing

a butt-load of interviews includig an up-coming LiveWire show on OPB.

 

Practice those fills!

thank you to those who made last night possible... i was reliving the early 90s, remembering those shows when i was a teen, and missing them (and their last go around) when i went away for college... sidenote: but thanks to friends at the time, i had received a package with three 45s in the mail with the three of the four members' (pete, jody and brady's) autographs... but no fred signature. darn, sorry fred.

anyway, it was most excellent, most awesome and it mostly rocked! my missed connection was back in the 90s in missing the last shows, but was connected last night. i could remember almost all the hazel songs and sang along happily. it was bittersweet...

thank you again!
