Rachel's review


Vom Jeannie's:


Amazing show last night!!  The first thing I see upon entering the club is Billy Corgan, just hanging out, talking to a group of people.  Then I turn around and see Pete Townshend walking straight towards me, followed by Rachel, E, and Minnie Driver.  Talk about surreal.

Since the entire line-up of artists has already been posted, I’ll jump right in with E’s set.  He had the (perhaps daunting) task of following Pete Townshend, and acknowledged this by referring to Pete as his opening act.  LOL.  A huge cheer went up when E was introduced, so there were definitely a number of Eels fans in the house.

E was his usual witty, engaging self onstage, and he was in fine voice.  He switched between acoustic guitar and piano, working from a setlist that he pulled from his pocket:

Dirty Girl

E thanks us for coming to see him and thanks his opening act, Pete “Town-shend.”

Railroad Man (big cheer from crowd)

E talks about the Sunset Junction show and how he “rocked the fuck out of everyone”, but says tonight is about his sensitive side.  Someone shouts out a lame joke, to which E replies ‘don’t talk to me, sir’.

He then starts playing the next song, but stops to turn over the sheet music that’s been left on the piano.  Says printed music freaks him out.  The he resumes playing:

I Need Some Sleep

E intros the next song as an embarrassing one about girl who worked at the post office:

Jeannie’s Diary!!

Flyswatter (E wipes his brow afterwards.  “That almost rocked.”)

It’s A Motherfucker (Pete on guitar – gorgeous)
   
I Like Birds (w/ Pete & Rachel)

Crowd shouts out the lyrics to this song, which seems to surprise E (pleasantly so)

Let My Love Open the Door – (w/ Pete)

The Kids Are Alright (w/ Pete)

Waaaaah!

Wie unglaublich. Zooey Deschanel und E auf einem Foto. Besser geht es nicht mehr.
Aber E sieht so dünn aus! Und kurzhaarig. 
Ach, wie cool muss das gewesen sein.

edit: Und natürlich Billy Corgan! Maaaaaaann. Vielleicht muss man doch Fan von deutschen Bands werden um solche Erlebnisse haben zu können.

rockstar.gif Cool!

Menno, ich vermisse die Eels. 

Der eine ist von The Who (The Kids Are Alright), der andere ist von Pete Townshend.

wow, der song von pete townshend ist ja echt toll (mehr der text als die musik). und wenn ich mir vorstelle, wie e diesen song singt und spielt.... da gibts nicht zufällig aufnahmen von diesem auftritt?
