Re: (TV) ABC Glasgow gig

[Graham Urquhart <gurquhart@madasafish.com>]

Was there as well and totally agree - awesome.  Tom looking very relaxed 
and genuinely seemed to be enjoying himself and acknowledging the 
audience response.  Sound was great and Jimmy Rip deserves a mention as 
well - followed Tom wherever he went.  Whole gig just emphasised what a 
unique musical sensibility Verlaine has as a guitar player and 
songwriter. Sublime.

Graham

Set List (broadly):
- The Day on You, Tom alternating with fingers, pick and slide.  As 
Billy mentioned amazing slide.
- Souvenir from a Dream
- Earth is in the Sky.  Dedicated to his 'pop'.
-  Rain Sidewalk / LJJ with Jimmy comping along Sweet Georgia Brown 
style on the latter.
-  Let Go the Mansion
-  Documentary
-  Orbit
-  Scientist
-  Biker Theme
-  Pillow
-  Words from the Front
-  Kingdom Come
-  Nice Actress
-  Prove It - in a style reminiscent of Stand by Me!
- Encore ???

Think there was also Also Heavenly Charm and Ancient Egypt in amongst 
that lot.

It was the most awesome electric guitar sound I have ever heard, and there wasn't a self-indulgent widdle in sight all evening. He also only used the bridge pickup for all (or nearly all) of the songs.
