- Soul
Asylum at
Tramps 5-15-98
- a review from
Christian Bladt
- I was fortunate
enough to be able to see Soul Asylum rock the house
- on Friday, May
15th at Tramps in New York. It was a sold out show, that
- apparently was
recorded for broadcast on the Album Radio Network at some
- later date.
-
- The set list,
was:
-
- I will still be
laughing
- see you later
- cradle chain
- black gold
- close
- creatures of
habit
- somebody to
shove
- no time for
waiting
- blood into wine
- new world (the
set list said that they would play either this or
- "runaway
train"; the went for new world)
- New York
Blackout (of course)
- Misery (which
somewhat dissolved into paul mccartney's "silly love
- songs" for
a moment, which dave dedicated to Linda McCartney)
- lies of hate
- just like anyone
- rambling rose
-
- Then came the
encore:
- This was the day
we found out about Frank
- Sinatra's
passing, and, as I had called it, they did a (very) little bit
- of "My
Way" when they came out. Then it was a fantastic version of
- Wycleaf Jean's
gone til november.
-
- And, finally,
candy from a stranger, which I was pleased to see
- included.
-
- All in all a
fantastic evening. As always, I was much happier with the
- material from
the new album once I saw them perform it live. I'll be
- seeing them in
New Jersey again on Tuesday, and if it is even half as
- good as Friday's
show, I will still be happy.
- Now, all I have
to do is find out when the show is going to air on the
- radio...
