this band is only a shell of what they used to be

doesnt work like it did in the 80's....

So good. Wow!

this was actually part of a residency described as "live rehearsals", mainly for the material from what would become accelerate, he had lyric sheets for most songs they performed. mike mills even got on a megaphone a couple of times reminding people "this is not a show!"

About lyrics... I wrote to them in Summer of 1980, asking for any lyric sheet and the response, on a single card in my SASE was "no lyrics"
No wonder Michael has to read a sheet.

they havent played this in years, forgot his own lyrics. song is over 25 years old
-
tele-prompting?
how old is he?

I might just have to make a might sign to take to Southampton saying "play Carnival of Sorts!" If that fails I will bombard the stage with paper airplanes saying the same thing.
It would be incredible if they played it.
if they perform this song when i see them in the summer, all my internal organs will probably just explode
still one of their very best songs

Saw the set list for these gigs. Really exciting - new stuff (thanfully miles away from "Around The Sun"), most of Chronic Town (apart from "Stumble") and odd picks from assorted albums inc. under-rated "Circus Envy". No "Moon", "Hurts", "Religion", etc - thank fuck. It's about time they did something exciting again.
