Great show with a setlist as ususal with one exception: He played "Gideon", a My Morning Jacket cover. Normally I don't like coversongs very much, but this one was amazing with the two guitars!
Gideon, What have you told us at all? Make a sound, come down off the wall. Religion – should appeal to the hearts of the young. Who are you? What have you become?
You animal. Come on. What does this remind you of?
Truly. Truly we have become. Hated and feared, For something we don’t want.
Listen. Listen. Most of us, Believe that this is wrong.
You animal. Come on. What does this remind you of? Animal. Come on. What does this remind you of? Animal. Come on.
High Dive is positively rammed as Loved Ones front man Dave Hause comes on stage, although perhaps at least partially because Red City Radio are playing after him. There's a line around the building that has to be bummed, because despite only being armed with an acoustic guitar, Hause quickly proves that he is one of the most capable stage performers at FEST. Not that his guitar playing is anything above well-managed chords, but his vocals and diction are flawless and despite seeming like he doesn't actually have the set prepared he quickly sparks a connection with both audience and the stage crew, making the half hour fly by like a casual conversation that's only interrupted by him singing songs of both his own and The Loved Ones' make. These songs are instantly enjoyable even to newcomers, but there is of course a dedicated crowd of fans here singing back every chorus with glee, and the singer seems happy to let the audience decide parts of the setlist, occasionally stopping songs to ask things of the crowd or beg the stage hand to bring him a Pabst. Basically this is what it looks like when a truly experienced performer steps up and uses his sheer routine to make sure a whole venue has a great time. A free lesson you could say, for any younger, aspiring artists in the audience.
Of course Dave joined Hot Water Music on stage for Trusty Chords,
Quote :
They (HWM) follow it up with "Mainline" from the new album, before surprising us (yet again) with Dave Hause guesting for "Trusty Chords" to echoing sing alongs from the crowd. That song is amazing in the first place, but with Dave Hause's personal touch it sounded even better than usual as we all sing the "Hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeaaaah" parts in unison.
and Chuck Ragan for Broken Ears.
Quote :
We even get a guest appearance by Dave Hause during "For Broken Ears" for good measure.
Seems that Dave played Tim´s Telecaster and not his own guitar at this show. I haven´t seen him playing any other guitar than a Les Paul over the last three years.

^^he didn't play c'mon kid or benediction. The Shine was the last song. Everything else appears accurate. It's funny, I was following the setlist the entire show and never noticed that those two were written on the side. Now I'm kinda bummed he didn't play them :/
Sorted some old pics and videos this weekend. Just crappy cellphone videos, but I thought I should share this performance of Before in Manchester (the best one I´ve seen so far!).
