Esau Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Sweet. Thanks dave-O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kung Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 That's it. It was a head noodler start to finish. There's a blue moon tease in the Else as well I believe- they were drifting in and out of alot of things. The Yellow Medecine was off the hook and all over the place. And ALSOA was bustout central and such a beautiful song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groove Fetish Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 tips for kungwatching - just look for an arms flying man in the elephant eaten hat with a blue bandana on it...approach with caution! WOW! is all I can say- next time I want a bit more grooving room but I was in a place of musical fantasticness! God they are all so wonderful- can't wait to hear the deal on the Burlington night- wish we could have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Geez, where to begin. The show was outstanding...I felt like I was at Cape Canaveral or a going away party or something because it was evident all night that these three are on their way somewhere. Maybe it was jamband going-away party or something, I don't know. I admit at first I wasn't sure what was going on as they worked their way through headshot but things fell in where the neeed to fil in. To that setlist, and if my memory serves me correctly, I would add "intro" to the second set because didn't they do that octavial-type intro jam again when they came back from the break? Either way you should send that SlipBase as he's always waiting in limbo for the canadian setlists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeker Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Great show, still tapping my foot and bobbing my head. Another wicked Le Swimming Slip show, can't wait for the next one. Kung - you were there, did we meet? I was smashed and certain aspects of the night are a haze...though Dave-O I do remember a flashing neon "24" sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kung Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 So the Honey Melon came out in Burlington of course. We'll get one north of the border one of these days. Oh and Brad was saying after the show, although I was fucking passed out the bulk of the time he was hanging out (typical), that the Broken Social Scene really moved him even so far as getting their new booking agent to check them out in Pittsburgh when they were down and hinted at the possibility of some dates together.

Fuckholes Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Wish i could have been there. The band kicked my ass at frontier. Gots to get me out to a show soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Jesus Christ, If the Slip plays with Broken Social Scene I may have to fucking kill myself or blow my ear drums because I won't want to listen to anything else after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 I should probably also mention that both new Slip releases (AliveElectric and AliveAcoustic) are the shit. Listen to some clips HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groove Fetish Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 yah- a major deal of great music! get them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
long time runnin' Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Unfortunately I missed the show as we went up north to do some camping. Shite, there was 6 inches of snow on the ground, only 90km north of Montreal! Maybe someone can help me out. I saw the Slip at Frontier, and there's a great song that I can't get out of my head, but don't know the name of. Here are the excerpts that swim in my head (or an approximation thereof): High water, high water, high water will allow, Me and my baby, we'll be home, she'll be home, should be sleepin' by now. Sorry, that's all I've got, but it's a catchy little chorus that is repeated several times. It kind of has a country sound to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kung Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 That's Dear Milena- the lyrics can vary a little but this is basically them: quote: dear melina what shall i write you it's been like eight years you're still in new mexico i've been thinking you and i oughta watch the sun set over nevada there's been something i've wanted to tell you about your dad's ring made out of coconut you gave it to me the morning we parted now i've lost it i'm so broken hearted sitting in the middle of a cold north lake high waters gonna rise till the edges of the great dam break stand till the cold, cold, water will allow me and my baby to be home to be home she'll be sleeping by now come bright angel i will go quietly if i have to i will do nothing half the minutes turn into hours walk to your house water the flowers wish i had a word i could say to you, say to you to make you feel better when you're feeling blue but i never really know what i'm supposed to do about anything, let alone you staring out the window with the rain outside there's a feeling in the air like a homicide in the center of town two worlds collide leaving it all, leaving it all...

long time runnin' Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Thanks a bunch, Kung. I really like these lyrics, I remember hearing them and thinking about a girl in Montreal who I know, thinking about how sometimes I would get in late, very drunk, and she'd be sleeping and warm. That's as close as I get to being sentimental. I can't wait to hear The Slip do this song again. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kung Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I also meant to mention that Brad often does the last verse like this which happens to be the lines that really resonate with me: quote: Won't you let me be the person that I wanna be, wanna be I know I've taken love so selfishly, So many times you helped me see there's no shame in being wrong, no pride in being right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
