TGF @ The Loft, Dallas 10-14-2010 Options

[Badman]

The show was incredible. It blew away all the Live shows I have seen... Here is the setlist:

1. Appetite
2. The Few
3. Tredecim
4. TROY (It's about a whore named stephanie apparently!)
5. Silly Thing
6. All I hear
7. Cryin’ Time
8. Guilty Fever (with la grange interlude)
9. It’s No Good
10. Closer

5 minute break (Front porch setup)

11. Great houses (acoustic)
12. Honest Man (Breakdown)
13. Troy (Otis Redding mix)
14. Nothin’ but love (Alternate version x2 speed, Elvis sounding)

5 minute break (take down front porch)

15. What’s Wrong
16. Nothin’ but love
17. Honest Man
18. Sing

Kevin has so much energy onstage! I was front row and he gets down in your face and screams at you! Ed hasn't done that since the MJ tour. There was no plastic sugar coated feel to the band and they stand on their own now. I was not reminded of Live in the slightest.

One really awesome aspect of TGF is how much Gracey shines through. He was smiling the whole time and during their front porch thing they let him out to the front and give him 2 drums and a cymbal and really put him center.

I complimented Kevin after the show. He would go to the back near the amp and just relax so Shaun or Chad could rock out for a few minutes. It is refreshing to see how humble he is. I am sure that his ability to not have "lead singer syndrome" has contributed to the magic that happens on the stage.

I think it was the best show I have ever seen in my life.

Thanks Badman

[Pokey]

Nice one Badman, cheers for sharing!

[Sonic Tonic]

Cool. anymore vids?

I enjoy this version so much more than the album version. I hope this makes it on the acoustic EP.

I agree! TROY has become one of my favs on the album and now I really want to hear a studio version of this mix!

[SecretInsomnia]

Wondering... will the 'acoustic EP' consist of songs off the debut album played acoustic, or brand new (acoustic) tracks?

[Pokey]

gee i missed the news, was it officially announced that there would be an acoustic EP?

[OutToDry]

Yep, somtime this winter, February or March. New Album July/August. You might have been on the steamship

I think, judging from what they have played, that it will be a bit of both. So far the tracklist could include:

1. Appetite
2. Honest Man
3. Closer
4. Nothing But Love
5. The Rest of You
6. Great Houses

I imagine this will be a digital only release, so that they don't have to shell out the $$$ for distribution. Maybe a physical release from the website?

[OutToDry]

I was thinking the same thing.......digital from QE but who knows...Velvet Revolver released a physical EP correct?

[OutToDry]

sorry double post.

Velvet Revolver was also quite a bit more popular than TGF (at the time).

The bonuses of doing an acoustic EP (low studio cost, quick turnaround time) would be canceled out by doing a full physical release and distributing it to stores. It wouldn't surprise me if we are able to get a physical copy from the website though, maybe in a sleeve of some sort.

Hopefully the EP release would give all the fans something new, while helping the band out financially.

Wow, this thread really took off when I wasn't looking! Sweet, an acoustic EP! I'd like to think they would include some covers by their favourite blues artists ie more stuff like great houses.

Sadly, no more videos but I can say that the acoustic nothin' but love was pretty awesome and far better than this version of TROY.

I think it could be done fully digital with a digital booklet from the site
