20030725: Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel: Providence, RI
Notes: ! "BAM impersonators" -- At the beginning of the show (before set one), Sam Leonard, John ??? and Tim Lanterman (SJT) came out dressed as Brad, Marc and Andrew (respectively--beards, clothing, etc.). The lights were dim, so folks didn't notice. Many of the long-time Slip fans were fooled by this point, and SJT played Honey Melon! extremely ("surprisingly") well, catching the audience off-guard. The Slip then appeared and began posing, which cracked up the audience. Before Yellow Med., Brad said they had been playing a lot of "new songs" and that they were going to play an older one. Tim came out during Happy Snails and played the maracas while Andrew played the PVC pipes. During The Slip's 'Honey Melon' E:, SJT came out on stage and did their version of the Slip's posing from earlier. [Cleantone, unknown, Sammy, Phrazz - Saturday, July 26, 2003 at 15:04 - 19:00 ] % new vocal tune in the middle? [BRAD BARR: ^ I just wanted to let you guys know, the song that came out at the end of Sorry that night, the one you thought might have been by Built to Spill, is a song I wrote years ago for my Uncle Ted, who passed away("As a token of my appreciation/so you can verify/that nothing in this life you did in vein/to that I'll testify........"). I call it "In Life You Were an Ocean(In Death You Are the Rain)". For the record, the only BTS songs we've played have been "Else", "Carry The Zero"(not to be confused with "The Zeroes", aka "Children of December", aka "Children of December", aka "Birthdays"), and a slight tease of( I forget the name)"We're special in other ways", at the acoustic show at Helsinki, also at the end of Sorry. Any questions, let me know. Kewl. Out..... [ brad - Mon Aug 18 2003

20031031: Paradise Rock Club: Boston, MA
Notes: Mahi Mahi opened. BAM was dressed as primary colors: Brad (red), Marc (blue) and Andrew (yellow). ^ a "spooky voice" (Sammy) came over the PA saying "It is time to KILL YOU!!!". His cell phone rings and it's Marc Friedman asking him to just introduce them, since his intro was not going over well. * Led Zepplin cover (Physical Graffiti). ! someone in a gorilla suit stormed around the stage, making grunting sounds over the PA. Afro-wearing Tim Lanterman bounced him from the stage. ~ Debut (tentative title): Lyrics: "You closed your eyes and sang to me / like River sang to Buddah / You closed your heart and wept for me / like Jesus wept for Judas" [Brad]. # Beatles cover (White Album). % this was played very differently. I think the key was modulated and maybe more than that. + consisted of somone dressed ina big rabbit suit faux playing a cello to some song over the PA. They proceeded to jump on the cello and smash it before the band sequed into Happy Snails.
