TimmyB Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Hey where was everybody last night? I'm guessing at nero/Contact in Toronto. I hope Ken will still be willing to bring Shannon Lyon back again, even though last nights show was so poorly attended. After seeing Shannon Lyon perform a solo set for the first time this year opening for Jay Farrar (formerly of Uncle Tupelo and the recently reformed Son Volt) he won me over as a fan. I saw Shannon solo again at PJC in July. This time was the first time I saw Shannon perform with a rhythm section and on electric intruments. It was another short but sweet set of Lyon's material, and I can't help but think that he would perform longer if there were more than twenty people watching him perform. MarcO compared him stylistically to Neil Young which I never saw before, until I saw him play some guitar solos on his hollow body Gretch last night. Lyon does craft his guitar work on electric guitar in the same vein of Young. Generally I find Lyon sounds quite a bit like Steve Earle, especially the way he paces his songs lyrically. Here's the setlist from last nights show. Start time 12:00am 1. You Showed Me How (w/harp) 2. Carry Me Down 3. Olde Freightliner 4. Barcelona 5. Did You Know That 6. Could You Be My Light 7. Sometimes It Hurts 8. I Could Cry (I don't know about this title?) 9. Since I'm Loving You (w/harp) Encore: 10. Lake Huron (Like Your Own)(w/harp) 11. How Did You Get So Lonely (I don't know about this title?) 12. Bound>Ring Of Fire>Bound End set 1:05am (Total time 1 hour and 5 minutes) PS Hey Ken I hope you give Shannon another chance at PJC, next time there has to be more peole than last night.

Del Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Doesn't Esau love this dude's music? I'm really surprised he chose nero over Shannon Lyon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted September 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 I am too Del, I thought I would with out a doubt be seeing Esau at Shannon Lyon. But that's what's so great about living in a free society with many bands performing on any given night, we have so many choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
