2010 North America

C'mon, Gomezians ... What's the scoop??? Why aren't we seeing reviews and setlists for Vancouver or the two Seatlle shows? What's the deal? Aren't there Canadians or West Coast fans on the list any more? Didn't some some of you folks out there go to the shows?

Give us the scoop already!

^Setlist and photos from Friday's show and last year's Vfest: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...6&l=5830a8b97a

I haven't even looked through and uploaded my Olympics photos, so you should be impressed I've gotten to these!

Anyway, the show was good. Tom motioned for everyone to stand up after a few songs in since there was this awkward standing/sitting game going on during the first few songs. There was some interesting and quite inappropriate dancing going on by a couple (they were near some young fans too) on Tom's side. It was distracting cause it was so hard not to look over every so often. Halfway through the show, Ben finally saw the couple and the reaction on his face was hilarious! I haven't really seen the setlists from past shows, so I was surprised at how few songs off ANT were played. No Mix or my favourite Win Park Slope And from where was I was, I couldn't see Olly at all so that really sucked. I think Ian's beard is kind of weird lol.. he said they were sober when they did that, but Tom retracted haha.

After the show, saw Ben and Ian out for a cigarette as we were leaving so my friend and I got some photos and they signed my setlist. We briefly chatted. Ben said his favourite song they played that night was Step Inside and Ian's was Other Plans. Didn't see any of the others, but I think the band were just rushing to get to the Biltmore after to see Efterklang. I'm sure I'm missing something, but that's about all I can remember from Friday..

Thanks for sharing the info, camy. Looks like quite a few set list differences from last week's shows; no "Machismo," "Liquid Skin," or "Ping One Down." No "Ping?" Bummer.

Thanks again for the info, though. Any others out there with comments? Looking forward to hearing any more info from anyone that would like to keep us all in the loop. Hope you're all having a great time at the shows.

Rock it.

I was really hoping for Machismo! But I downloaded the gig from Denver so at least I could hear it from there. It's nice that they're changing it up though. It would be so awesome to have a site like 58hours.com (Radiohead setlists) for Gomez, but maybe a little bit too crazy heh.

This is Vancouver though..it's kind of what we're known for (at concerts specifically). I guess we've already fallen back to "no fun city" now that the Olympics are over! It's definitely been eerily dead as of late and I kind of miss it haha.
