In response to a coupla

In response to a coupla emails, here is the setlist for Living Colour’s performance yesterday:

Ignorance is Bliss

Sacred Ground

Middle Man

Trance

Time’s Up

Papa Was a Rolling Stone (Temptations Cover)

Elvis is Dead (With “Can’t Help Falling In Love” interlude)

Type — break

Love Rears Its Ugly Head

Cult of Personality — break

Tower of Soul (Hendrix cover)

American Skin (Springsteen cover)

A pretty standard set, but the highlight was definitely the closing cover of Springsteen’s American Skin Haunting and delicate, it evoked both the Boss’ original and his older standard The River, along with echoes of Purple Rain. I’m hoping to dig up an MP3 of their version somewhere online.

You can see a schedule of their upcoming dates on drummer Will Calhoun’s site. Go see ’em, you’ll like it.
