Songs were much better live and yes, they mixed in MS, Stop and ANR. The next time I saw them was without Nuno at a half full/empty Irving Plaza and it was terrible. I think it's the same set list you posted, best of PF and only 3 SP songs.

I was at that Irving Plaza show.
It was horrible.
Worst $20 I ever sepnt

They played a 'flashmob' on the corner of Abbot Kinney and Venice Blvd I met my family and friends at. Nuno was excellent as was some blond girl on keys. I think the set list was about 75 SP and 25 JA. I remember PF and Etty sitting in a dated Beemer parked in front of my Harley. They had the engine running and I was concerned they were going to back into it. I went up to the chain link fence dividing the parking lot and Venice and motioned to them. Etty thought I was stargazing, waved, but never rolled down the window.

Yeah it actually started as a band project but quickly turned into the Perry/Etty show. They were in Europe for some shows when Nuno and the Drummer quit. It then turned fully into the Perry/Etty show with a few SP songs.

This story makes me so happy.

I remember reading an interview with Pete around the time the record came out. If memory serves, he was in some way involved with writing the music to dog star. Before Perry did anything with it, Eric heard the demo and expressed interest in contributing in some capacity (don't think he knew it was for Perry at that point).

I guess its just another instance of a satellite party related thing that had promise but went horribly, horribly off the tracks.

I was with 2 friends. One had seen P4P and the other was a really great friend and still is that I played in bands with and really respect musically and he'd never seen Perry live. I was embarrassed, lol. I spent the whole walk/Subway/train ride apologizing and talking up the Jane's/Porno shows I'd seen.

Didn't know we shared Perry's rock bottom together Romeo!

I've defended and worshiped Perry so long....I'm almost embarrassed all the times I've even argued with some of you about him....I freaking Love him....But as a singer myself he puts no effort into singing anymore and it makes me sad....He never was technically a great singer but his energy and manic struggle to sing... along with his expert use of effects made it amazing...every time I see him now he cares nothing about pushing himself harder and getting into that magic space he usta get to...even when he struggled vocally he usta get there....now it's like no effort given...no trying to sing up in the rafters..no bark...no use of effect in the way he did before.....no energy....no fucks given!!!!……Like I said I sing...and I don't see him belting and being in the moment anymore and that makes me sad.....just going thru the motions?...woulda thought he'd screech and fight to be on key before becoming a lounge act...bummer ……Still love him but really bummed he doesn't try....With the right vocal coach he could easily nail his spots ....it's really a workout to get up there in the higher range vocally...almost feels like you just went for a hard run?....but the more you push yerself and the more you sing it gets easier....just read a interview from Robert Plant and as fried as his voice is at times he even said "If I get on tour and do all those vocal gymnastics on a nightly basis it starts to get easier...when I slack off it becomes impossible " ...it's hard work to belt and make noise ....effort!!!!

Because Etty thought she has fans.

Yep, and I was up front at the stage wearing a SRL t shirt just to piss Perry off.

You're a goddamn hero. I approve of this!

it was right after Dave got wind that Etty was singing Jane's songs (someone sent him a youtube video of her rocking out horrible backing vocals to Mountain Song) with SP. He colorfully voiced his disdain on SRL
so I had to represent!



Then they all kissed and made up soon after. Cash in now...

What is SRL?

Saturday Right Live?

Spread Radio Live
Dave's internet radio show he used to do from his house

love ya bman but (a) they would, and do, still mail it in and disappoint virtually every long time fan with that setlist; (b) the new songs would particularly suck; (c) what's so different about that setlist besides 1%?; (d) etty will be there; (e) in what universe is ANR on any ideal setlist?

having said all of that, i'm sure I won't be there, but I do believe that there's a decent chance they have a well played motivated show in them before it's all over. I hope bman is there, as he was at that hippie fest in Connecticut. you deserve it. and I think that's the only real chance - have them forget to read their contract and be committed to 90 minutes. cover some pink Floyd. play bobhaus. that would be my ideal. some degree of unpredictability, some covers, a rarity or two like pigs in zen or kettle whistle; maybe a song or two w/o perry like the 'obvious' interlude after the small stage set on the jubilee tour. and of course, no etty or suspension women. oh, and pete d.
