people who spoke to the band before the show said they were nervous about how they would sound (paul was so nervous he had to sit!), but by all accounts the show was great (since the webcast didn’t happen, you’d never know if you weren’t there for the show). they played a mix of new and old, but only one song from cake, as expected. there are a few other songs they’ve rehearsed but didn’t play last night, so look for the set lists to change a little from show to show. i’d also expect a couple of other new songs to be added once they’ve had a little time to work on them in the studio. frank is now playing acoustic guitar again, he hadn’t played since the shows in support of a happy pocket. afterwards, the band said they had a wonderful time and were really taken aback by the thunderous applause. they also mentioned how they were disappointed the webcast didn’t work.
