Another Round of Setlist Porn

Back in April of 2008, we kicked off a series of B Lists devoted to Stage Setlist Porn in which we presented images of 60 stage setlists that rabid fans had saved from the scrap heap. Over the past year and a half over 5,000 images tagged “setlist” have been uploaded to Flickr. We sorted through most of those pics to bring you another batch of 20 kickass stage setlists.

Outside of the stage, one of the best places to score setlists is the sound and light boards. Most sound and light guys are happy to give you their setlists. If not, just take a picture like this guy did.

Cover Wars: O-o-h Child Edition

O-o-h Child was originally recorded by Chicago’s Five Stairsteps, it was released both as a single and on the 1970 album The Stairsteps. O-o-h Child reached #8 on the Billboard charts. What did I learn this week? That the correct way to spell the song title is O-o-h Child.

Lost Season 6 Preview: Phish Style

The sixth season of Lost starts tonight so we wanted to re-run Ryan’s Phish Style preview of the upcoming final season of the show.

This is it, folks. After five amazing seasons filled with countless characters, twists, love interests, and sci-fi mind benders, Lost fans finally get to answer those burning questions, put the harebrained theories to bed and close an important chapter in their TV viewing careers.

Having watched Lost since the onset and obsessed over it with endless email debates – a topic that perhaps poses the only email subject line rival to that of Phish – my buddy Sean Lalley and I (whom some of you may remember from our short lived Story of the Ghosts days ages ago here on HT), decided to devise a little bloggy preview for the final season. And we figured what better way than to run through the long list of characters with their Phish song counterparts – a job made easy by the fact that roughly 40% of all Phish lyrics reference time.

The Smoke Monster – Walls of a Cave

“It might have been an etching on a marker of a grave, or maybe on the walls of the cave.”

Etched on an underground blast door of one of the Dharma stations existed a map which revealed the other remaining Dharma stations as well as four iterations of the letters “CV.” Later, at some comic book convention, the producers of Lost admitted “CV” stands for “Cerberus Vents” and that they actually refer to the Smoke Monster by the name Cerberus.

In ancient Roman mythology, Cerberus was a three headed watchdog who permitted spirits to enter or leave the underworld. In the case of Lost, the Cerberus seems to act as the watchdog of pointless randoms who don’t belong on the show like Shannon and Nadine, both of both since got waxed by the Smoke Monster. This secret represents arguably the biggest question mark to be answered in Season 6.

Disco Biscuits: On Time EP

Two things that The Disco Biscuits have become famous for – indulgently stretched-out peaks and breakneck, trance-based improvisation – are noticeably absent on their new On Time EP. Part of a multi-release series building to the long-overdue March 16 drop of Planet Anthem, the band’s own Chinese Democracy, On Time delivers far more studio polish than the band has ever boasted, morphing this release into a sonic alter-ego. Sounding little like the band’s famed live performances, this EP provides a glimpse at a new side of The Disco Biscuits.

Dinosaur Jr.: Bowery Ballroom, New York, NY 1/16/10

You can’t hear the vocals?!?  What fucking show do you think this is?!?!” Lou Barlow sarcastically yelled this to an ill informed fan midway through Dinosaur Jr’s ass-kickingly-loud concert at Bowery Ballroom on Saturday night in New York City…and really what the hell was that fan thinking?  This is Dinosaur Jr; beasts of feedback, lords of the distortion!
