Saw QOTSA last night at the Riv. Talk about a horrible case of 'live-itis', every song was sped up to 'ludicrous'. Some of it worked, some of it was just too fast. Great set list, though, heard some great songs, missed a few, but in the scheme of it all, there were 17 songs played.
Burn the Witch
Misfit Love
Run Pig Run
In the Fade
Turning On the Screw
I'm Designer
Little Sister
Make It Wit Chu
Do It Again
Avon
3's & 7's
You Can't Quit Me, Baby
Sick, Sick, Sick
Song for the Dead
You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire
No One Knows
I had fun at the show, brought someone who'd never seen em before, she seemed to like it, as I figured one should. I've seen better shows--excluding the Metro show w/ Dave Grohl on drums, as that's in a category of it's own. They did some great improvisation and some great jams in the middle of songs ('You Can't Quit Me, Baby'). The stage setup was great, too, some spiderweb-lookin chandeliers on what looked like giant spider legs. The lighting was great, and the pinnacle of it was during 'Sick, Sick, Sick'. The lights were flashing back and forth and on Josh Homme's (singer) face was split, so the left side would be eclipsed and then the right. Creepy lighting for a creepy-lyric song. I would say Mark Lanegan was missed on many songs, but the band managed to pull it off well.
Rock & Roll,
