18 April, 2001 at Speakeasy

"... solemnly towards her. Holding up his hand as if to stop her, she climbed off of the 
bike and approached him. "Good Morning Sofia," he said ominously ..."

GUEST MUSICIAN:

• Brannen Temple

Gl: "Thank you for waiting"

Plastic Love: I just drown in this song. Waves of cymbals mixed with synths create the feeling of the music washing over your skin. A few haunting guitar notes tickle your senses, just before the those beautiful vocals emerge. Beautiful lyrics, heart wrenching vocals, and that fantastic solo out make this one of their best songs. At the very end of this rendition, Spencer comes in again with vocals for a few lines. I don't believe he has done that before. It sounded good. Yeah, I think I like it.  ... Rule's my world...  that they do don't they! ;o)

Sp: "Steve, I'm getting a really bad electric shock in my face. 

Stew plays something deep and eerie while they change mics , or whatever.... before heading into the intro for Nashville.

Sp: " I think the whole club heard you. This is our secret".

Nashville: Cool, eerie dripping keys, dark, evil bass. Excellent vocals. I love this song!

Sp: "Let's hear it for Cloudtalk who played before us. Those guys are really, really, fantastic. Great playing with them. Here's a tune called Jaded.

Jaded: Spencer, really is in fine voice for this show!! Vocals all 'round are good actually. I love the center solo! It is super cool!

Sp: "Thank you. You guys doing alright? We've got a big round. It's a night of birthdays. David Lee, wherever he's at, Happy Birthday! Let's here it for David Lee and his birthday. Yeah, come on. This is called Blown Away. This is a tune we just recently recorded."

Blown Away: Oh yummo! This is probably the best version I have heard so far. Everything was perfect. Cool solos from Stewart & Spencer. Excellent!

Sp: "This is called It Got You Thinking."

It Got You Thinking: The song that sucked me in. I love the bass line for this song. I like the drums on the outro also. Beautiful job from all. ... oh, and the key's are nice & prominent in this too, which is fantastic, as you get to hear Stewart, particularly in the outro, with Spencer's wailing guitar in the distance. At the end Spencer continues with a howling effect with his guitar. Extra awesome!

(segue) 

Wanted: Gorgeous piano chords set the mood. Spencer's vocals are excellent!!! The piano is again prominent throughout, and is  excellent, need I add! This is a really great arrangement. Heart stopping solo from Spencer. The bass thickening, and pushing the song along.

Sp: "By now it's gotta be after midnight right? Okay, this is Glenn's birthday now! That's right. Buy him drinks, stroke his skin. Whatever he needs after the show, is his.
St: "Spank his butt, if you can find it.
Sp: "Well yeah, there you have it people. Um.. We're going to do a tune ..called.. what is it?! Sell It To A Girl".
Gl: "Long Island".
St: "A birthday drink".
Sp: "Birthday drinks. Long Island Iced Teas for Glenn."
Gl: "I'm not driving."

Sell It To A Girl: Wait for it... yep there is that beautiful intro. *sigh*

Sp: "I'm going to play you a little bit of something from my new record.
Gl: "Oww, ooh"
St: "Actually this song was inspired by Bill Evans. A great CD called "From Left To Right"... and since he couldn't be here tonight, we have to use 2 people to play it.

Complicated: This is the most beautiful song. Simple & soul soothing. It floats around your head long after it has finished. The arrangement, is divine. Spencer's voice is.... *dreamy smile* 

Wow, this next song was a full on surprise!! Not even a whisper from the band about this little gem before it arrived. Well what is it?... I hear you ask?....

Spencer says: "Thank you. Can I get a little more piano?"
St: "It's okay, none of us know what he's going to do either.

Then Spencer starts into Poppyseed with just him on the piano and his delicious voice. It's gorgeous!!! ... Then there is a low long sustained feedback, and Spencer pauses, waiting for it to disperse, but it just keeps going....and going... before the sound guy gets rid of it.

Sp: "That's a cool sound though.
St: "It's right on key."
Sp: "Yeah, I couldn't even come up with that. Start over."

Poppy Seed: Just the piano & some electrical static effect for the first verse & chorus. I love it!! Instead of Spencer's guitar solo, both him & Stewart meld with keys galore. It sounds so beautiful, and I especially loved the ending with the trickling of keys out. What a treat! Spencer must have a big bag of talent that he sprinkles himself with daily. What can't he do?!?!

Sp: "That was a little out there, wasn't it?!"
St: "Give it up for Spencer on piano. If Laura Scarborough were alive today, she would... "

<break in cd>

Gl: "Let's give it up for Cloudtalk
Sp: "Yeah really, just beautiful."

Foolish Me: Hey, I love the effects towards the end. I looove this song. I feel Glenn owns this one too. What a sexy guy!

Gl: "This is our last song. I promise. Our very last song. We'll all be out in 20 minutes. Just 20 more minutes."

Strange Day: Excellent tempo!! Everything about this song is fantastic! I think every time I have heard it, I can't really pick anything, or anybody out, as they are all doing their thing perfectly.... Hey! We got a fade out...hehe... That's not usually on the CD's. They're going flashy on us. haha..
