But I do hate when musicians tell the local staff to allow something and then they don't. In 2005 Raine told everyone to record Kiss on the Mouth and as soon as people pulled out their cameras security started going around taking them away from people!
Just out of curiosity, has OLP ever done a full band version of Thief live? I prefered how they played it at the Cornfest and in LA this past summer with Steve on electric. It's one of my fave songs but the acoustic version just isn't as good... is there something technically difficult about pulling off a full band version live?
They've done it full band... but maybe not since 2002 or 2003? Since then it's only been done a handful of times and has almost always been a stripped down version. Maybe the band feels that when they're playing a concert the subject matter of the song doesn't get lost so much to the music when it's stripped down to just voice and guitar? Or maybe they just haven't rehearsed it as a full band in a very long time. I agree with you though -- I do like the stripped down versions too but I'd really like to see Jeremy and Duncan join in on this song again.

Wasn't it done in Boston on the Burn Burn tour? I thought they did some of it mixed in another song. I can not really remember but I could of sworn it was done in the middle of In Repair or was it something else.

Anyone who has been to the first few shows remember what time the opening band came on and what time OLP came on? I assume late since these are over 19 shows at bars. Thanks

Yes, in Boston. They also played the first verae and chorus as an ipromptu request in Johnson City.

On youtube there are Superman's Dead, A/L/S and Clumsy....i was updating the tour section with the videos but on the setlist there isn't Angels Losing Sleep....
So with the corrected Montreal setlist, here are the stats after 5 shows:
100.00% 4AM 100.00% Allowance 100.00% As Fast As You Can 100.00% Clumsy 100.00% Find Our Way 100.00% Fire In The Henhouse 100.00% Heavyweight 100.00% Innocent 100.00% Is Anybody Home? 100.00% One Man Army 100.00% Paper Moon 100.00% Superman's Dead 80.00% All My Friends 60.00% Julia 60.00% The Birdman 40.00% Somewhere Out There 40.00% In Repair 40.00% Starseed 40.00% Thief 40.00% Angels/Losing/Sleep 20.00% Naveed
4 shows contained 16 songs, with Toronto being the only one with 17 (due to the 2nd encore). I wonder if they would do 2nd encores elsewhere if the crowd were good enough?
