I ran into Paul before the gig. He was "walking off his dinner." I told him tomorrow night I would be in his back yard: Brooklyn. He said he lives about ten minutes away from The Bell in Brooklyn. I had never been to the Fairfield Theatre Company and Paul said it was an intimate setting and the audience surrounds the band around him and Dennis. His point was very true it is small theater and a very intimate, living room type vibe. There is not a bad seat in the house.
For the first time ever All The Young Dudes segued into "(Miss) Silver Dime" which resulted in a very different version.
All you got to do is go
Ride on down rock and roll
Shine on, Miss Silver Dime
Ride on down, rock and roll
Blow my sweet mind

Ian also played "Old Records Never Die" and stated he has never played it live. I thought he has so I'd have to check at some point. He said the musicians were really down and the first recording for the new record was going poorly. They were recording the night John Lennon was shot and at the time Ian didn't know it but the others did. The gig had some surprises: "Boy" has made it back into the set and I do not believe he has done this live since the Hunter-Ronson days. He introduced "Girl From the Office" as a song that is for the ladies but the guys hate it. "All American Alien Boy" is the song that killed his career, which has has said before, and he added, "Sure, you all like it now but you didn't forty years ago." He also did "Michael Picasso," "The Way You Look Tonight," "When I'm President," "Ta Shunka Witco (Crazy Horse)," and "Black Tears."
