ok gotta split, but wanted to post a quick report tonight while i had internet access. Wish i could catch the shows in Minneapolis Sunday. It would be great to hang with you guys who are catching those sets! One day we're GONNA make that happen again though! alrighty folks, gotta go. enjoy the gigs! If its half as good as the 10pm Chicago set you'll be smiling ear to ear

i'll post more details when i get back home.

later folks!

I am looking forward to the shows in Minneapolis. Can't wait to hear her rendition of "Dirty Mind"... in Minneapolis

Thanks for the review. I am getting really excited about her upcoming Seattle show.

I wonder why she's playing Bellingham the next night, as it's only 90 minutes north of Seattle, and a small college town. Maybe it's as close to Vancouver, BC as she can get this tour.

scan of Chris Bruces actual setlist from Chicago 10/16/09 10pm (i grabbed it as i walked out after the show)...

...they'd planned to play 'Love Song #3' and 'Bright Shiny Morning' which i woulda loved (those two are favorites of mine from those albums, and this woulda been the first time i'd have actually heard them live ...woulda been extra sweet)....ah well next time...

more details later...back to work now...

I also have the one from the 2nd show in Mpls. That said, they didn't stick to the setlist, so I will have to check the video to see what was actually played...

I would love to hear "Love Song #(2 or 3)" live. Maybe in San Francisco or Seattle. Loved the band's interpretation of Dirty Mind and the band's update to DNB. Wow.
