Love of the Common Man Cliché Black and White Tiny Demons I Saw the Light Song of the Viking Compassion Hello It's Me Bang the Uke You've Got to Hide Your Love Away (easily the biggest reaction from the mostly Todd ignorant crowd) Afterlife LysistrataWith Ethel: Pretending to Care
With Joe and Ethel: Soul Brother While My Guitar Gently Weeps
So ends my week of three shows (having bee lucky enough to see both nights in Amsterdam last weekend). To be honest, after the initial US reviews I was sorry to have invested so much money into three tickets and a trip to Amsterdam. However, I am happy to report that it was all money well spent. Todd was very good throughout (and only one broken string in three shows: Foamy tonight just as Got the Time began...Todd had to go acoustic the rest of the evening!) and I am now a confirmed fan of both Joe Jackson AND Ethel. I am left feeling very fortunate that less than a year after I relocated to Germany, Todd just happened to play his most extensive European tour ever. It's a typical day on the road to Utopia.
