Best Show of My Life (part one)
Sunday, March 18, 2006
Belcourt Theater in Nashville.
Band: Robyn Hitchcock, Peter Buck, Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, John Paul Jones, me.
I swear.
I don't know how long it lasted, but not nearly long enough. We did a bunch of Robyn songs, a Grateful Dead song (Candyman), three Dylan songs (Tiny Montgomery, Lo and Behold, Queen Jane Approximately), and two Gillian Welch songs (Elvis Presley Blues, Look at Miss Ohio). It was like the other side of amazing. And then we had dinner. I wish every day was that good.
Everything else is a little who fucking cares at the moment: work, Work, home--all a predictable soup; fuck the highs because i live for the lows. My back has been assaulting me for a couple of weeks now, leaving me physically incapacitated for a few days, then forcing me to walk with a cane. The cane is embarrassing in a way, but in another way it looks kind of perfect. I am nothing if not hobbled.
Looking forward to tour.

I found and downloaded a bootleg of the show. It was as amazing as I remembered it, and the quality on the bootleg isn't bad. Would you like me to send it to you?
I hope your back feels better in time for the tour. Canes are, as a consolation, generally pretty hot.
Are you going to swing another podcast between now and the tour? Just curious.
Also managed to get a copy- excellent stuff, must have been a blast. Nicely bookended by also finding a copy of Robyn's 1997 Bumbershoot appearance... I love that Robyn has become a semi-official NW dweller, seems so appropriate... and equally appropriate that you would appear with him, sir.
The show was several shades of awesome.
I hope you found some fun things to do with the rest of your time in Nashville. I was trying to get something actually interesting together, but leave it to me to get sick. There's nothing quite like a little chronic illness to make your week.
Anyways, best of luck with the other shows. I'm sure they will be lovely.
reading your blog is like going to rad music school, sean.
Sean Nelson! Am I retarded? Because I can't find an email for you on here.
So my second question would be: If I were to, say, move to Seattle . . . in what neighborhood would I want to live?
Thanking you in advance,
Yours, etc., etc.,
Commie Girl
the weirdest thing just reminded me of you.
