Elf Power - Due to the craziness of traffic and little bit uncertainty of start times. We caught the last 3 or 4 songs of EP’s Set. Ending on a great cover Brian Eno’s “Taking Tiger Mountain” They were in Top form and very well rehearsed. Robyn Hitchcock - Opening with Bob Dylan’s “Not Dark Yet” I felt yet again another show that was going to be completely different. This version after further reflection the following morning still had me reminiscing about it. The word Masterclass comes to mind. Setlist Solo Acoustic - Not Dark Yet / The Abyss / I Pray When I’m Drunk / Queen Elvis Electric w/Elf Power Encore: Luminous Rose (Solo Acoustic), Mad Shelley’s Letter Box Wednesday November 14 2018 The Earl, Atlanta GA Wye Oak w/Thor & Friends Thor & Friends - xylophones, violin, harpsichord, various horns, very rhythmic … wonderful Wye Oak - cover of note “Deeper Understanding” (Kate Bush), turns out Thor & wye oak met at this very club 10 years ago.. not sure exactly but it’s been a minute… Friday November 16 2018 Terminal West, Atlanta GA Ty Segall w/Emmett Kelly Emmett Kelly - cover of note - Don Holiday - Omaha Ty Segall - this was surprisingly the 1st acoustic show that I have attended by Ty. It was better than I even expected. It was wonderful to hear his songs in the setting. Several I didn’t realize I didn’t understand some of the lyrics but now I heard them clear and concise. Highlights: Comfortable Home, Fanny Dog, Warm Hands Freedom Returned segue into I bought my eyes and Its a Boy (The Who), , Pretty Miss Titty (Gong), Gimme Some Money (Spinal Tap), Squealer, Emotional Mugger, 1st Encore A Quick One While He’s Away (The Who)
