Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopin' this will be an all-ages show. Seems like most are.

Sadly there will be no possible way for me to swing this show. Damn it.

Hey,

What's the best thing to record a show with? and where do you recommend I put it? Find a way to clip to my pocket or something?

Awesome! Happens to be that I'll be in Raleigh for a basketball game that weekend, so I will definitely go to this. I wish I could find out how to get tickets in advance...

Ugh, I live so close to this show, but that's the day of my school's Homecoming so I have to stay there.

I've already seen John perform twice this year anyway, so I'm good.

FYI, you can buy tickets for this online now.

i have a spare ticket to tonights show if anyone wants it. actually i can either sell you two for below face, or give you one in exchange for a ride (i live by the airport). my friend can't go and my license is suspended....

it turns out that mr wurster and mr hughes both happened to be in town for the performance. it was a great treat after being led to believe it was going to be a solo show.

Very nice setlist. Sounds like a great show.

Indeed, what a great setlist! I was going to say something like, "even the first x songs would be worth seeing!" but as I found myself walking through the songs I love to hear live, I found that I had essentially included the ENTIRE setlist. Very cool.

Was it full band the whole time, or was there a solo set? Because it would be very interesting to hear a full band version of No I Can't.

i didn't actually make a note in my little book when the solo set, which led off the show, ended, but according to the great local web-log, Triangle Music, john was solo through the first eight songs.

here are the only decent photos i got of the performance.

fffffffffffffffffffff that's such an awesome set-list. I would definitely have rather gone to that than sit in the cold at my school's homecoming.

kittenry, were you the person that told me to get the setlist signed? Those pictures make that position seem right.

nope; wasn't me! were you, however, the dude up front with the little microphone, the one who got the set-list tossed by wurster? how did the recording go?

That was, indeed me! I actually did not record, because the sound guy at King's was kind of hinting that he didn't want that happening and I figured the full band stuff would distort it beyond belief.

There are a few nice videos on youtube, including this one of Nine Black Poppies, and this of Jaipur.
