Guest Low Roller Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Sweet looking setlist. I think it's better than the one I got when I saw him in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 It was awesome, but it just kept going and going and going and every time you thought it was over it kept going... it was like Return of the King. I was kinda pissed at the show because he could have easily thrown in another song rather than go for the 8 minute feedback jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyB Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I saw Neil Young cover "A Day in the Life" at Farm Aid this year and it had to be one of the greatest covers of a song I have ever seen performed.Two of my all time favorite things ever combined, Neil Young and the Beatles.Peace,Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peipunk Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 This show was indeed a dream pairing for me and and incredible show all around. I think my favorite Neil moments were Oh, Lonesome Me and Unknown Legend.I was just as excited for Wilco though! Even though we had horrible seats they sounded great. Tweedy lost some of the words to California Stars but said it was because he was so excited to play for us, hehe. They were great, but nothing will beat seeing them in a small theatre like we did last time they were through these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 No doubt.Could someone clarify? I know Wilco is opening, but I have also heard rumours from more than one source that there are two openers that night? Is that true? I hope not.

Northern Wish Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Everest is the first band on each night. Haven't heard much of them, but Neil signed them to his label so they cannot be all that bad..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edger Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks guys.So, that being the case can anyone speculate on a timeline for the night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I've been listening to Everest quiet a bit lately and I really do enjoy them.'Ghost Notes' is a good effort and the closing track "the Future" is one of my favorite songs of the year.Peace,Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldengrooves Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Everest was actually really good at the Calgary show. It made it worth getting there a little early to get a good spot on the floor. Thank god the eastern tour will not have to suffer through Death Cab for Cutie. The setlist is pretty much the same as the western leg of the tour and it ROCKS! Friends went to 7 shows out west saying that it got better every night. It's gonna be a great show, Day in the Life closer....WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Everest was the opening band at the Hop Farm Festival in Kent last July. They did a really good job. I seem to remember that they had this whole Coldplay buzz to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks guys.So, that being the case can anyone speculate on a timeline for the night?Call the ACC and they will give you the exact timeline. Sometimes they don't know until the day of the show though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Everest was the opening band at the Hop Farm Festival in Kent last July. They did a really good job. I seem to remember that they had this whole Coldplay buzz to them.And that's a good thing? Coldplay sucks. We've got a babysitter that we're paying, and can't get home to late for that reason as well (not cause we'd have to pay more, but because she's in high school).

AD Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 is your babysitter in the band or something? what's the connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBOC Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I am under the impression that a member of Everest was in Sebedoh but I could be wrong. I haven't heard much of them but an ex sebedoh member in a band that Neil signed? my ears are perked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Comprised of five singer/songwriters, the members of Los Angeles indie alt-country band Everest boast some impressive pedigrees, having played with Earlimart, Sebadoh, the Folk Implosion, Slydell, Mike Stinson, Great Northern, Alaska!, John Vanderslice, and the Watson Twins. Sharing a mutual admiration for each other's respective track records, the five were drawn together by a common desire to make classic-sounding pop songs in the style of earthy bands like Wilco and Calexico. Russell Pollard, Jason Soda, Joel Graves, Rob Douglas, and Derek Brown first assembled in 2007, and connected quickly. Graves was especially excited about the instant chemistry, remarking in interviews, "I'm getting to play with my favorite singer, my favorite bass player, my favorite guitar player, and my favorite drummer. It's the band I've always wanted to be in." In August 2007, they entered New Monkey studio with Foo Fighters producer Mike Terry to capture a light set of acoustic-based songs on vintage equipment. After only two weeks of recording, a week of mixing, and an afternoon of mastering, their debut album, Ghost Notes, was finished, and they started shopping it around. Neil Young's Vapor Records label, home of Tegan and Sara and Jonathan Richman, seemed a logical choice, and after signing there, the group made plans to tour in promotion of Ghost Notes, which was scheduled for release in May of 2008.

Kanada Kev Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 If anyone has an extra floor for Thursday night I know of somebody in need of one. In the meantime, I can't wait for Thursday to get here dammit!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 From what I can tell, Pollard played on the album The Sebadoh and in Folk Implosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 is your babysitter in the band or something? what's the connection?the connection is that I don't want to have to be paying for a babsitter while I'm watching a band that sucks. And another band on the bill means a later night, and I need to be home at a reasonable hour because the babysitter has school the next day.now, based on the above posts everlast may not suck, but still, Wilco and Neil are more than enough for me.
