hey all,
went to the show last night, and got to meet liz after (my first time meeting her, so it was way cool to be me last night). here is the set list, along with notes about stage stories and guitar changes, for those who care:
(she started with her red fender)
WCSE
Uncle Alvarez
6'1"
Mesmerizing
WCI
Never Said
Little Digger (She introduced this as: "This next song is really special to me. It's... just really special." Sounded like she wanted to say more, but didn't.)
(She started playing something here, saying "i'm just fucking around" it sounded like it could have been something from Girlysounds--Sometimes A Dream maybe?)
Glory
(She then changed guitars to the one from the LP cover)
Help Me Mary
(Then she told a story about how much she loved her guitar and that it was like a teddy bear to her and she couldn't see how people would smash their guitars and that her ex-boyfriend from Porland had given it to him and he was a Taurus.)
Flower intro (although she didn't finish it)
Rock Me
Johnny Feelgood
Polyester Bride
(She changed back to her red guitar)
Divorce Song
(made the comment, "i wrote a song about having a son before i had one, and made a song about getting divorce before i was divorced, now i need to write a song about winning the lottery.")
(Then she sang a few lines of "You learn" by Alanis Morissette and told a story about the last show with Alanis and being in her underwear and getting wrapped in toilet paper)
Perfect World
(more bits of Flower up until the Blowjob Queen line)
Extraordinary
Supernova
(left the stage... then came back for Encore)
HWC
Fuck And Run
Then the lights came up and it was over.
She has grown considerably as a performer since I saw her in 98; I also heard audience members comment, "she has presence." the songs from the new record sounded really good live; they were stripped down and less produced. I know some of you will never like the new record and that's fine, but they fit in with the other songs she played.
