so many songs! im so excited!
joeyjoejoe - 4/19/08, 7:31 am
man, i hope tonight's set is that great.
detuned - 4/19/08, 7:31 am
im willing to bet they will play even more tonight
joeyjoejoe - 4/19/08, 7:32 am
i just got a little misty eyed seeing some of those songs and thinking that they might play them.

not really
well, maybe....
or not.
betsy - 4/19/08, 7:40 am
i did! so many of those songs have so much emotional attachment and i will cry at the show without question.
joeyjoejoe - 4/19/08, 7:41 am
i wish i could listen now to get siked up, but i don't want to jinx the show.
i've been to too many piebald shows that had bad luck.
betsy - 4/19/08, 7:42 am
I KNOW! im doing the same thing.

THE LAST SHOWS...
hello friends,
all the kids at camp 'bald have been practicing up a storm for the grand finale this weekend. i think there is just short of fifty different tunes that we will be playing during the last 3 shows. you will laugh, you will cry, you will dance! and we will too! ahhh, the almost fifteen year stint is coming to an end this weekend. we will miss all of you. i haven't made a post in quite some time, but i, like the rest of the 'bald have been busy with new life and new creations. somehow it didn't seem right to post until now. now we are all 'bald all the time and its our last chance to be so.
i have been staying at luke and karen's place in brighton taking in what seems to be the sights and sounds of a past life. i have been riding the t and going to mr. music daily. it is the birthing and stomping ground of many years of our existence. i have had so many good times there and continue to do so. and now i am in andover, with a full stomach, after mom's homemade dinner. i took the commuter rail out of north station, which was cluttered with canadians in canadiens shirts. i got off at ballardvale and walked the tracks to my 'rents house. today has been a good day. and its not even over yet.
so this bulletin is to say thank you to anyone who has come to see us play or helped us over the years. it has been a pleasurable experience to say the least. we have had ups and downs, but i wouldn't change a thing. life is good. piebald is great. thanks for everything. see you this weekend. all hugs, only hugs. we love you!

still we let it choke us is one of my favorite songs of theirs and i would have killed to see clouds play it

did anyone go last night and could tell approximately when each band went on? im just now noticing doors are at 7, but that doesnt really mean anything when it comes to the middle east
RonMexico - 4/19/08, 9:20 pm
Last night was chaos.

Sucks I didn't get tickets for tonight, but last night was a good enough note if it really is the last time I'll ever see them.

Anybody go tonight?

betsy - 4/19/08, 10:08 pm

commiserate - 4/21/08, 4:50 am
is this the final farewell or will there be another in 2 years>?
joeyjoejoe - 4/21/08, 5:34 am
it would be cool if there are reunions at some point, but it seemed like there was a lot of closure going on.
andeet - 4/21/08, 5:42 am
l@@k at joeyjojoe crowd-moshing!
joeyjoejoe - 4/21/08, 5:43 am
i had no interest in getting into the middle of that crowd.
Sparky - 4/21/08, 5:45 am
was annoying ryan murphy playing the cowbell? the first time was barely funny.
joeyjoejoe - 4/21/08, 5:45 am
i was singing at the top of my lungs for the whole set. i must have looked really silly.
andeet - 4/21/08, 5:49 am
nah no way
joeyjoejoe - 4/21/08, 5:52 am
i'm not sure the guy standing next to me was a big fan.

joeyjoejoe - 4/21/08, 5:55 am

you mean ryan mcgaffigan right? he came out during dance party and hit the cowbell a couple of times, and after the song they told him to get back out there and of course they played the stalker. he brought out a bottle of champagne shortly after, luke sprayed him with it, ryan sprayed the crowd, and then some dude on the edge of the crowd sprayed the entire stage and band.

if anyone was curious at night ones set list, i just came across it. id say night two was clearly superior.
