Romantic trials and tribulations were the focus of this show's opener, beginning with 10cc attempting to keep the lines of communication open followed by Astrud Gilberto and Walter Wanderley offering encouragement to pick up the phone. Then we heard Bryan Ferry working with Brian Eno for the first time since Eno left Roxy Music in the early '70s; Eno's keyboards and "treatments" create an almost meandering counterpoint to Ferry's tale of dashed hopes for real love, and the tune's slow fade brought on Tindersticks, with Stuart Staples and Mary Margaret O'Hara dueting on a song that examines the pair's relative interest in each other through their feelings about peanuts. Finally, Bob Dylan followed with a plaintive request for a little interaction brought on Charles Brown feeling bitter about the way things went down.

The next section began with a bit of folk-pop from Josh Rouse that seemed to flow nicely into an old favorite from Keith, who reached the Top Ten for the only time in early 1967 with this track. The Doleful Lions followed with one that manages to be driving and dreamy at the same time, and from there the sound reflected more of the latter with tunes from Holly Miranda and the Morning Benders. That led to Kevin Tihista attempting to shake his lethargy, the Kinks amazed by life's possibilities and All Smiles reflecting on where they've been as they look forward to where they're going.

One from the latest Magnetic Fields disc brought to mind a Pernice Brothers tune that actually opened this set and shares a delicate sense of dislocation; after that duo we heard Dave Sitek doing a synthed-up version of an old Troggs tune followed by Marianne Faithfull with a similar approach to one more British Invasion tune, this time by Herman's Hermits, who then gave us another of their many hits from the '60s. Big Star followed with their quintessential song of yearning, and then we heard the High Dials coming from a similar place. Teenage Fanclub maintained the mood, and the rhythmic pulse of that one segued beautifully into an old Lovin' Spoonful tune that employs an almost identical foundation to start out and then adds a touch of r&b, which then seemed to flow well into Paul Westerberg to close it out.

The final section began with the irresistable rhythm of my favorite tune from Spoon's new disc, and from there the sound shifted into more of a polyrhythmic approach with tracks from Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lal Meri. That culminated in the sounds created by Indian musicians brought in by George Harrison for his contribution to the Beatles 1967 masterpiece, and then it was the simple acoustic sound of Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan for contrast before Van Morrison brought down the curtain.

Here's another one from Teenage Fanclub
