[Whoareyoumacher?]

Wow...I wish I was there for this...
Glad to hear Seanie is up and kicking.
Hope all you kids are having a great summer.

[SlimPickens]

by the end of the night most of the bar was up at the stage singing and dancing.  Old folks, young kids, wookies and squares standing elbow to elbow belting out the songs word for word.  The arrangements, the harmonies all sounded great.  Listing highlights would just involve retyping the setlist.

[Yoda]

I\'m hoping that this was taped and will be available to DL somewhere (you know, for those of us that don\'t live in CT or aren\'t able to drive 2-3 states to make a show).

[jocelyn]

Wow...I wish I was there for this...

Me too...

Does the setlist really need to be written this way? It seems a bit ridiculous to me. Can\'t people look up who wrote the songs, what albums they were on, etc., should they so desire? This setlist gives me a headache just looking at it.

[princesscaspian]

it is a pretty busy setlist... but props to the researcher/executer of such a project!!

last night was absolutely awesome. a totally random mix of people, all united by the beatles. the guys were *fantastic* and exceeded even my highest expectations. i will certainly be back next week, and my mom probably will too ! (she had a BLAST!)

and my mom probably will too ! (she had a BLAST!)  

i\'m bringing my mommy next week, too!

joc, i disagree. i think the setlist is very informative. even if i so desired to look up all this info, i would never have the time. so thanks, pitchy.

I definitely think the setlist is very confusing at first glance, but it was very well organized for the amount of information he was trying to get in there. A great night of music on polar sides of the spectrum going from this sit down beatles singalong with kids and old beatles fans alike to the insanity that is gogol bordello. Was not fun getting up at 3am for work however. ugh.

i don\'t know how you do it...

he\'s got an obligation to make mike n mike the best it can possibly be

[klaashole]

We will not be able to make the next three Sundays, but we will be back for the finale.  If you get a chance to make one or all of these I highly recommend it.  Everything about the evening was great.  Nice size crowd, the sound was very good, and the food is always a treat.  Spread the word!!!!!

Chris thanks for the setlist.

[ds673488]

setlist is very clean and organized, but i do think its a little over the top with the amount of information given.  for example, i dont really think it needs to be noted who sings lead/etc in each song.

with that said...this looks incredible...i cant wait to hear it

[ChrisPitch]

Regarding last night\'s setlist and the way it was constructed, obviously, it\'s imperative that we know who played what instruments and who sang lead on each song.

Of course, I went the extra kilometer with my notes regarding the covers and anthology songs. However, considering the nature of this project and how it encompasses all the music recorded by The Beatles, I felt it was prudent (Dear Prudent?) to not only distinguish the songs they didn\'t write, but also the ones which are not part of their proper discography.

And sure enough, as I was putting it all together last night, I knew somebody was going to say something about the way the setlist looked, yet I proceeded anyway. A once-in-a-lifetime concert merits a once-in-a-lifetime setlist. I mean, if three guys can learn 220 songs, surely we can follow an * from the top of the screen to the bottom, can\'t we?

Anyway, you\'re welcome.

Meanwhile, back at the show...

now you\'re asking a lot...
