This is my second time trapsing down the Yonder mountain path, and once again they brought the festival blue grass to the Blue Note. The played two sets again, like last time, but this time they were at the end of the tour instead of the beginning. I am not saying they put on a bad show, because they didn't, but you could tell by the faces that they were wearing down a little bit. They made mention of sickness tearing through the bus, so that might have had something to do with the tired looks from the band. So you could say that despite being worn down and wrung out, they played over two hours of great music with energy to spare. I am not familiar enough with the touring of YMSB to tell if there were any "OMG they haven't played that in years" moments, but I will say that for the night 2 hits and the entire last half of the second set. The setlist below was taken off of a setlist site that I think the soundguy for YMSB posts, since it has all the setlists for all the shows and I know that he keeps his set list. However according to my recording they did not play half moon rising. Now it could be that I just didn't catch the transition between instrumental songs, but it sounds like the same song to me all the way through. I have posted my recording on my site Lovin Live Music for download in MP3 or SHN formats. Enjoy

10/15/2008 Old97's and The Spring Standards
The Old97's took 7 years to come back to Columbia, and it was worth the wait. Now I will be the first to admit that I have not warmed up to much of the last two albums, however the first 4 albums the 97's put out contain some of the best music recorded in the last 15 or so years. Now I first saw the Old97's play in Columbia at the Down Under Bar back in the mid 90's. The down under bar no longer exists, and they have played the Blue Note and Mojo's many times since then. Now the band has changed a lot since the days of the Down Under Bar (marriage, kids, age, solo careers, Lasik, etc.), but Rhett still shakes his hips for most of the show and does that hand circle thing when he strums the acoustic guitar fast, and Murry is up to three songs in the set list now. If you remember the 97's of old the show is not much different, just a little less twang and a little more pop. I got a really good recording of the show and have posted it on my site. Here is the set list for the 97's
Set List:
The Fool

No Baby I
Crash On The Barrelhead (Murry)

The Spring Standards was the opening band, and I have to say the surprised me! They play some fun acoustic/folk/country/pop music. It was a nice way to open the night of music. This was yet another interesting percussion band the three piece members of the band (two guys and a gal), play guitar, bass and keyboards as well as different parts of the drum kit. One guy would play a cymbals bell set up, another guy plays the kick drum, and the girl plays the snare and high hat. They played a great set of music, and it turns out that Rhett Miller produced their latest EP, which must be how they got the opening spot for the Old97's for this stretch of the tour. I missed most of the set on my recording due to a technical issue with the software. Turns out a "button" I never press got pressed while I was using the mouse pad on the old laptop causing the software to go into loop mode. I didn't notice until 2/3's of the way through the set. Therefore, I only have a partial show and partial set list for this band. Here is what I have:
- Reply (most of beginning cut)
- Premonition
- Trouble
- Your Lie
- Little Bug
I have now posted the shows for download on my site Lovin Live Music. Enjoy

09/17/2008 The Avett Brothers, Backyard Tire Fire, Ha Ha Tonka shows posted
I have now posted my recordings of the Avett Brothers, Backyard Tire Fire, and Ha Ha Tonka 9th Street Summerfest shows. The details are below. Here is the link for my site Lovin Live Music. Enjoy.
09/17/2008 The Avett Brothers, Backyard Tire Fire, & Ha Ha Tonka
This was an interesting night of music and a great way to close the 9th Street Summerfest for the season. This monthly outdoor concert put on by the Blue Note has been a favorite of mine for the last few years. This year they closed the season off with The Avett Brothers, Backyard Tire Fire, and Ha Ha Tonka. For me this was a night of all new music. I have been wanting to catch Backyard Tire Fire and Ha Ha Tonka for a while, since they play Columbia rather often, but have not been able to make a show until now. The Avett Brothers played Columbia back in June, but I decided to see the Gourds that week instead, so I was glad that the people at the Note decided to bring them back to town just a few months later.
The show started with Ha Ha Tonka, and I was rather surprised at how much I liked these guys. They play a nice blend Midwestern alternative, country, and pop. The show was well paced and the music interesting from beginning to end. The show featured three covers Black Betty, Hangman (acapella version of Led Zeppelin's Gallows Pole), and a classic Big Smith tune 12 Inch 3 speed oscillating fan. During the Big Smith song they included a section of the Avett Brothers song Weight of Lies. All and all it was a great version of the song. My recording of their set was weak on the lyrics for the first two and a half songs of the set, but after I switched a couple of inputs it fills in very nicely. I have some holes in my set list, but here is what I have for the Ha Ha Tonka set:
1) ?
2) St. Nick On The Fourth In A Fervor
3) Gusto
4) ?
5) Falling In
6) Hangman (Traditional)
7) Black Betty (Traditional)
8) ?
9) 12 Inch 3 Speed Oscillating Fan (Big Smith)
10) Caney Mountain
After Ha Ha Tonka Backyard Tire Fire hit the stage and ripped into a set of classic bar rock. They are really good at what they do, and moved through the set like seasoned professionals. Overall they weren't to my tastes, but they played one original that I loved. I think the title is Jimmy and Bobby and Jack. It reminded me very much of Robert Earl Keen's The Road Goes On Forever. They also played a cover in the set, Warren Zevon's Lawyers, Guns, and Money. Thanks to the adjustments I made for the Ha Ha Tonka set, I got a pretty good recording of the Backyard Tire Fire set. Here is the set list for the show:
1) Downtime
2) 1000 Gigs Ago
3) Welcome To The Factory
4) The Places We Lived
5) One Wrong Turn
6) The White On My Walls
7) Time With You
8) Jimmy and Bobby and Jack
9) Food For Thought
10) Skin and Bones
11) Lawyers, Guns, and Money (Warren Zevon)
12) How In The Hell Did You Get Back Here
The Avett Brothers ended the night with their brand of sparse acoustic Appalachian pop. They hit the stage with a banjo, acoustic guitar, upright bass, and cello. The banjo player (Scott Avett) also played kick drum during many songs and moved back to a drum kit for a few. The acoustic guitar player (Seth Avett) played a cymbal from time to time and also moved to the keyboards for a few songs. The cellist was an interesting addtion to the set, and the interplay between the two bass instruments was nice on the ears. There were times during the set that the bass was a bit high (mostly from the kick drum) or that the vocals were less than I would have liked, but it was a fun show that flowed well. It was interesting watching the Seth do his running shoulder rolling dance move during the build up and intense parts of many of the songs. I will say there were three downers of the night. The first two are recording related, first, I didn't get to plug into the SBD for the Avett Brothers, second the crowd was loud and the levels from the PA were a little low, so my AUD recording is rather chatty. Finally, they didn't play Murder In The City. What's up with that! Oh well, they did play a great set of music with three new songs. This was also the first time I have heard a crowd sing for an encore. The crowd continued the La La's from Go To Sleep right through the encore cheering. Here is the set list for the night:
1) Weight Of Lies
2) Pretty Girl From Raleigh
3) Paranoia In B Major
4) Die Die Die
5) Distraction #74
6) All My Mistakes
7) Wanted Man
8) Laundry Room
9) At The Beach
10) Please Pardon Yourself
11) Backwards With Time
12) Kick Drum Heart
13) Talk On Indolence
14) St. Josephs
15) Salina
16) Tin Man
17) Go To Sleep
18) Will You Return
