Lambchop to play 'Nixon' in full @ NCH

Just seen this now - play on February 1st. My favourite album of theirs, stunningly good live band, great venue. What's not like? Saw them play the Olympia a few years back upon the release of 'Is A Woman' and they were terrific.

I enjoyed it

Missed it myself. Heard the sound was pretty bad?

For the first two songs it was awful, but they got it right eventually.

First four at least. Couldn't hear Kurt's guitar for any of those. Thought they were hugely under par for most of Nixon then came alive for the encore.

Really enjoyed it.

The sound was a bit muted but they don't play loud anyway. Nice to see William Tyler on guitar. I don't think he's played with them the last few times I've seen them.

When they got it right it was spine-tingling!
First few songs very muted

Up with the Crowd is track 4 on the album, I thought it sounded perfect, they nailed it from there on.

Excellent gig with really relaxed feel. Thought the band judged it perfectly and tempo picked up as the night went on. Sound was fine throughout imo, just that Kurt barely hit guitar strings and mumbled lyrics during first few tracks. Great backing band with star quality in Tony Crow and William Tyler.

Setlist from what i remember...

1-10 Nixon album tracks in order (beautiful reinterpretation of The Butcher Boy)
11 Give Me Your Love (Love Song)
12 My Face Your Ass
13 We Never Argue
14 Gone Tomorrow
15 Young Americans

Glad I didn't go. Sounds like a zzzzzzzz night similar to Vicar Street last summer

It was far from boring. Some sound issues early on but a bloody good gig overall. The encores were wonderful.

Completely different to their last Vicar Street gig. Better setlist, bigger band, much more of an up tempo gig. Quite similar to their early shows in Ireland.
