BRET!!! :#ded#: :#bret#: :#blowkiss#: :#blowkiss#: :#blowkiss#: His hair is so short! And he's so clean-shaven! :#haha#: We've seen so very little of him in the past two years that getting this tiny glimpse of him is about to make me burst. :#haha#: :#love3#: :#love3#: :#love3#:
NIGEL!!! :#nigel#: :#blowkiss#: I missed him so much on the Oddball tour (and also when I saw the WIUO last year). I'm thrilled that he's back this time around. He adds so much to their live performances. We're in for a real treat this tour.
JEMAINE!!! :#jem#: :#blowkiss#: Jemaine hasn't been nearly as absent from the spotlight as the other two (I was just looking through photos of him at the Cannes Film Festival and smiling proudly, can't wait to see The BFG), so my only thought really is that I'm so happy to see him back in the enviornment that I love him best. :#heart#:
:#excited2#: :#excited2#: :#excited2#: :#excited2#: :#excited2#: I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM. :#excited2#: :#excited2#: :#excited2#: :#excited2#: :#excited2#:

Flight of The Conchords
The Heath at The McKittrick Hotel
June 1st
THEY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, the never really went away – juss got all big and Hollywooded, but no matter how many riches and fames they’ve accumulated, they will always be good ole Bret and Jemaine, or good ole Jemaine and Bret (depending on how you like to order your favorite Kiwis) of Flight of the Conchords.
After a 3 year break from touring, the boys are about to embark on a big tour, and so they needed to fine tune their roadshow before showing the road, and set up a 5 night residency at the Heath. For some reason I skipped out on their last tour, so it has been 7 years since I last saw them live, but now I got to see them in a venue that only served 200, and all 200 of us were well served.
Sure, B &
J sounded a little raw and undisciplined – starting and stopping and restarting tunes new and old, constantly being out of rhythm with one another, but luckily these two can fill dead air and stage hiccups with endless witty stage banter, like Jemaine asking the audience if they actually paid money to see this show [we all happily did]. But none of us cared how unvarnished the presentation was – cause we were all there to laugh with them, and at them (no one does self-deprecating humor like them), and so we did.
They tried out 5 to 6 new/newish songs (see setlist below), and while these newbies don’t seem destined top anything they’ve created before, they were good enuff for everyone to sit thru AND thoroughly enjoy. Most times you don’t want to hear any band play any new stuff, but most bands aren’t this one and that’s both a good thing AND a bad thing. And the old stuff? Still AWESOME, after all these years! Even a song like ‘Bowie’, which was a once a creative lark, is now a song of soulful passion – a valentine to a man they and we love(d), who once fell to earth, but is now back in the stars, forever orbiting in greatness.
Maybe one day someone will write a song about how great the Flight of the Conchords are. That would be some mighty meta stuff there – meta world peace yo!
Setlist
- Spoiler:
Chips and Dips^ / The Seagull^ / Foux du Fafa / F**k on the Ceiling^ / The Ballad of Stana^ / Father and Son^ / Think About It / Business Time / Bowie / Shady Rachel^
Encore – The Most Beautiful Girl (
in the Room)
^ not sure of the actual song title – as the songs were new or never released

Oh yeah, and those other two losers. :#haha#:
I'm going to refrain from looking at any vids or setlists or possible spoilers. I don't think this would be the case if I wasn't seeing them in about a week.

My first show is in 23 days. There's no way I can resist anything. :#sadno#: Maybe if I didn't run this board and need to post stuff so people will come visit it would be easier. :#haha#: Probably not though.blondesnotbombs wrote:I can't resist looking at setlists (I'm weak), but I'll be avoiding videos and "

Hello, everyone! Got on to see if there were any photos from the McKittrick and saw this question and wanted to chime in! They are sitting on cajónes, which they use as percussion throughout the show.
I attended the Friday night show, but we were right up front and I was freaking out about getting kicked out for having my phone out so I didn't risk photos. (Sorry! ) Jemaine joked with the audience that if he saw someone taking a picture, he would steal their phone, take a picture of his dick to text to their mother, and then smash the evidence. Haha.
So excited for everyone to see them this year!! They were relaxed, laughing a lot, and really enjoying performing. It was very surreal being in a tiny venue, after seeing the stages get larger and selling out since 2008. My mom came up to visit my boyfriend and I and attend too, and she ended up running into Bret in the bathroom hallway while he was rushing to the stage. She was shocked into speechlessness and said he gave her a big smile. Thought that was a cute moment. :#heart#:

It's so great to see you here bettr! Always nice to see some old user names logging in after so many years and to know that we all still love the guys just as much as ever! :#love3#:
That must have been an amazing experience seeing them in such a small setting. I could only dream! :#loveeyes#: No worries about the pictures, I know it's because Jemaine is mean. :#haha#: :#rasp#:
Sounds like an awesome night. Thank you so much for sharing with us! :#hug#: If any more pictures do surface they'll definitely be posted here. :#happyyes#:
