Digital Twilight

FUCK YES!!! Manchester tickets tomorrow

Solo acoustic? Never known Lanegan to play an instrument on stage before. Should be good.

it was cool to see him with soulsavers, but it'd be that much more awesome solo accoustic
hoping he plays ny

I'm praying for some US dates. Don't care where and don't care when, just somewhere.

I was late to the Soulsavers party, but better late then never!! It would be cool to see Lanegan solo, the Tom Waits of our generation...

I've been waiting for another solo Lanegan gig for years! Manc tickets bought, awaiting an appointment for one of the Mondays in April - hopefully it won't be the 19th cos then we can go to Oran Mor too!

insulting to mark! though i can see the similarities... i just DONT get how tom waits can get so much recognition and mark lanegan flies completely under the radar

COME TO CHICAGO! GOOD BLUES AND GOSPEL! youll fit right in

I would assume so as well, at the very least...acoustic doesn't mean no backing band. I think noting that it's solo may just be to distinguish the material from his (MANY) other projects.

You gonna get to see him Rands?

Yeah that's what I thought, I saw him 'solo' many years ago and he still had a band. I'm just soooo looking forward to seeing his solo material again!

Manc tickets bought, waiting to see if I can make the Oran Mor gig too!

Apparently Dave Rosser will be playing guitar for him. He's one of the producers of the Gutter Twins' album.

Don't think I will go this time. I've seen him with the Screaming Trees in 1995, with his solo band in 2003, electric with the Gutter Twins in 2008 and acoustic with the Gutter Twins in 2009. Not really a fan of his solo stuff. And I've met him and all that before, so I don't need to get shit signed. My friends in Idlewild are playing the same venue on the same night (they're doing the big upstairs room and Lanegan's doing the tiny basement room), so I think I'll go to Idlewild.

A note for those attending the Lanegan Dublin show: that room is small, with a stage about 6 inches high. Get there early and get the front, or you won't see shit. Don't say you weren't warned.

i'll be at the manchester show

Need a ticket??

He's added another date: Leeds Brudnell social club on 24th April. Only holds 300 people, should be good.

And the stage only faces a small section of the whole room, shit layout for a show...but on the other hand its very intimate if you're near the front!

Wish I'd known about this one before buying Manc tickets - ah well should still be awesome!

Still have that spare Manc ticket if anyone needs it.

I bought manc tickets too before the leeds gig was announced but rang see tickets & they let me exchange for Leeds, which is cool cos I live in Leeds which means no driving which means more drinking.

Bump for this with the tour about to kick-off. I'm going to Leeds and London and cannot fucking wait!

If Lanegan ever decides to follow the trend of playing albums in their entirety, I think it'd be a wise choice for him to select "The Winding Sheet".

Nah, would have to be 'Whiskey for the holy ghost'

Yeah, I did have that in mind when I proposed my idea.

I say he just does an all night gig and plays both albums.

Mark Lanegan tomorrow night

Can't wait....

Click the photo below for a few pics from last night in Leeds, including of the setlist.



Mark's performance was amazing, I just wish it were longer. I'd love to know why he's not doing any Screaming Trees material, Dying Days would make me wet myself. I just realised Twain is a very early Screaming Trees track and not an early solo track, so I stand corrected. Still some Sweet Oblivion/Dust material would be nice.

I had a brief, awkward chat with Mark prior to soundcheck which was... nice?

strummers

WOW!

Lanegan's voice was astounding tonight!! 2 Trees songs which were a treat! His performance was pure perfection, can't wait to see him in Glasgow tomorrow night too! Lighting was too poor for photos (don't like using flash at the best of times, but especially not with someome like Mark) so I put the camera away and just enjoyed the gig!
