Absolutely spewing i wasnt onto it sooner with tickets.
Did he play any tea party songs as advertised?
and, if someone doesnt mind telling me, is the album any good?
Yeah it was a fantastic show! He talked a lot about the break up and about some of the meanings behind the songs etc and was quite the comedian at times.
The Tea Party songs played (from memory in no particular order) were:
Silence (the opener OMG!!!)
Psychopomp
Requiem
Sun's Going Down
The Bazaar
The Messenger
Save Me (mixed in with 'Love the One You're With')
In This Time
Winter Solstice
Oceans
I didn't really like the new album on first listen other than the opening track which is pretty much a Tea Party song.
On further listens though there are some really sweet tracks such as Lullaby (his Irish lament as he explained last night). It's an acoustic record and most songs on the album could be put in the same category as The Tea Party's softer, more straight forward songs such as "Heaven Coming Down, The Messenger etc.
