Robyn Hitchcock, Brad Yoder

Rex Theater, Pittsburgh, PA..... A momentary distraction at the start of Hitchock's set led him to begin his show with covers of Jimi Hendrix' "Are You Experienced?" and Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco" and to declare that the '60s were still going on, he was the same 16-year-old he was in 1969, and that the current year was actually "1960-44." His choice of old material was terrific: "Swirling," "She Doesn't Exist," and "Queen Elvis," particularly. And the songs from his latest album Spooked were fine additions to the Hitchcock canon. When he concluded the main set, he announced that he would be performing the encore in the lobby of the theater (a converted movie house). Naturally, we in the audience thought it was yet another whimsical Hitchcockian statement, but damned if he didn't play a four-song encore on an old baby-grand in the lobby with the entire audience crowded around. Following those four...

Hammerstein Ballroom, New York, NY..... Oasis setlist: Be Here Now Stay Young Stand By Me Supersonic Some Might Say Roll With It D'You Know What I Mean Magic Pie Don't Look Back In Anger Don't Go Away Wonderwall Live Forever It's Gettin' Better (Man!!)

Showbiz >> In the intimate confines of the beautiful and ornate Hammerstein Ballroom in New York's Chelsea district, Oasis, the self-proclaimed "world's greatest band" arrived Tuesday night with only one goal in mind.

Echo & The Bunnymen

Mercury Lounge, New York, NY....... This wasn't quite as good of a show as the epic time I saw them in 1988 , but it was a damn good performance. They did two consecutive nights at the Mercury Lounge with a slightly different setlist each night, but I'm glad I caught them on the first of the pair.  They hadn't quite released their album of new material (it would come out two months later), their first with singer Ian McCulloch in a decade. And the new material sounded good, even if it wasn't yet familiar to those of us in attendance--with the exception of the new single "I Want to Be There (When You Come)," which we were playing at WHTG. They sounded great, either way.  setlist: Rescue Bedbugs & Ballyhoo Altamont People Are Strange I Want To Be There (When You Come) Back Of Love The Killing Moon I'll Fly Tonight Just A Touch Away The Cutter Evergreen Lips Like Sugar Over The Wall Nothing Lasts Forever Do It Clean
