I really enjoyed the Nields. First time I've seen them live. I didn't have enough money with me to get any of their CD's, but I did sign up on their mailing list. Looking forward to seeing them again in Chicago on Saturday. In a previous article, barthele@uiuc.edu (Cthulhu Spawn) says: > >I wasn't really up to writing down the set list, but they opened with Sahara. I >remember hearing Get In The Car, Michigan Militia, Pisco Bandito (first time >they've played it here), King of Spain (both regular & cranky monarch versions), >Psycho Killer, I Love My Boss, The Drinking Song, River Valley, Horseshoes, >Johnny Saucep'n, ...my brain is too tired to remember them all....*sigh* > At one point, on went the hats ... I thought it was going to be Boo Time, but it turned out to be Grandpa Fruvous introducing Minnie the Moocher. (Of course, with lyrics about Urbana and audience participation.) They also did YWGTTM, GE&H, Sad Girl, Love Potion # 9 medley. They mentioned Lazlo at one point but didn't do Lazlo's Career. Also, one of the songs had the words "Jenny Washington" thrown in a few times. Also quite a bit of banter about President Clinton. There is a movie screen behind the stage, probably a holdover from when the club was a movie theater. This prompted comments from the band about people coming to see a movie and ending up with Moxy Fruvous. Also Mike was doing hand shadow figures on the screen for a bit in between songs. It was great to get to meet Angel and Wild Bill. I met a few other people whose names I forget. Next time I'll remember!

Wow! What a show! The guys were rocking for 2 hours! I don't don't remember all of the songs, Angel has the set list, so I will just post some of the highlights. Laika!!!!! Oh yeah! I almost fell down! It was absolutely fantastic live. Lets see... the canopy club kicks butt. Its an excellent venue for a band to play, theatre seating in the back and a large open floor in the front. Who could ask for more (the drinks were good and so was the company)? The Nields rocked! They put on a great set (and since it was my first time seeing them it was quite a treat, I can't wait for the next show). Who was there: Andy (who I kept calling Josh for some odd reason), Chad (the tall one), Chad's friend Kate (it was her first show), Jordan, Angel, and myself (I also met a couple of lurker fru-fans during and after the show). Well, since I can't remember the set list (right now the opening song escapes me), I'll put down the songs that I do remember (in no particular order): Laika, Half as Much, I will hold on, Pisco Bandito, Sad Girl (I am very fond of this tune), Libra Calling (an improv. about Libras since it was someone's birthday... quite funny, yeah, the Clash!), Moon, Michigan Militia, Love Potion #9 Medly, Psycho Killer, Minnie (lots of Urbana references, used the C. Clinton is a lesbian hooker line), Johnny, Boss, KOS + green eggs and ham (short), Grunge of Spain, Drinking Song. I know I am missing a couple, it was quite a long set... with lots of audience interaction. I have to say the crowd was roudy, but in a good way, the guys seemed to feed off of it. I particularly liked the discourse about killing off one of the guys so that they other three could benefit from the fame it would generate. This made one of the girls up front very disturbed, she started talking to Jian (or was she talking to her friend really loud?). Jian taunted her a bit and then reassured her that they weren't going to sacrifice one and she was much better. Well, I have rambled for far too long... it was a great show! Oh, I didn't see Murray come out after though, so if you don't see him in Minn, then ...

I e-mailed the band today letting them know that if they're interested in licensing the design to sell, I'll be happy to work out an arrangement. Until all that's settled, though, I won't be selling, trading or giving away any copies of the design, so as not to mess up any legal issues. Sincere thanks and apologies to all of you who have shown interest in the shirts (mostly sight-unseen...wow!). In the event that Fruvous decides *not* to have anything to do with my Pisco picture, then I may be able to distribute the transfers myself. I'll let you all know of further developments. k@ no idea what a Violent Femmes reference is doing in this post ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 07 Oct 1998 14:46:31 -0500 From: Chad Maloney Subject: Champaign Set List Greetings, Here's the Set List for last night's Frushow at the Canopy Club in Urbana, IL.
