This show was a bit confusing lol Some people missed out on some good stuff. Just read:

Setlist:
1. Sorry So Sorry
2. Ghost -> Beams of Light (Lyric changed again from "packages" to "people")
-Daysay: "Oh, this was the end...if you didn't know."-
3. Brace Yourself (didn't end normally; Howie stopped all the looping at once)
-Record signing and wristbands handed out for 2nd performance-
4. Buzzing -> Africa (he played from where he stars in "Africa" until the end of the song)
-Daysay:"Hi, uhm, my name is Dave Mathews"-
5. Parts of DMB "I Did It"
6. I'll Take You On (Oh my gosh, this was sooooooooooooooooooo good)
7. Madrigal
-Daysay: "This is a song about, uhm, I don't know...dinosaurs. I wanna be a dinosaur...or maybe an octopus."-

So I took about 60 pictures tonight. They should ALL turn out well. There were quite a few people recording but I was standing next to a guy who got the whole thing up front. At the end of the first performance, I asked him if he could make me a copy. I got his number and email. Score!!!! I'mma have a live show that I actually went to! Jason was there tonight. He said he really really really liked it. He also gave me the mix cd. It's got some really good stuff on it. As soon as I go through it I'll post a review.

I'm seeing Howie again in less than 3 hours. Man, this is really awesome. He's doing two more shows this month before heading off for Christmas and then over to Europe with Tori. They are tomorrow and Saturday in San Fran. I want to go. I was going to drive up and stay (aka BEG) Irene to give me a place to crash and see him again. I wouldn't mind seeing Tori two more times either! lol Tonight should be nothing less than grand no matter what. I have three rolls of film ready, pictures, my guitar and my ticket. He signed my cd/booklet and guitar before, but I want him to do it again. The webmaster of Howiefan.com is here in SoCal and he'll probably be calling. He posted something on his site and I emailed him, etc. He's taking the train from Carlsbad (he's here on vacation) and we're meeting up at Fingerprints. Yay!!! He's a good guy. I hope you can make it, Chris!! Danielle canceled. Oh well. So it's now Jason, me, Briona, Courtney (her friend), possibly Chris and maybe James. I have high hopes for tonight. Ack!! Must get ready!

Way too much to write about tonight. No one knew who Howie was. That means small crowdy tonight. Yay!! Well, yay for me, no yay for Howie. No crowd means he won't come back. Poo. Maybe I'll be enough support to come back! Hell, I'm up. Might as well write.

Setlist:
-Sorry So Sorry
-Bunnies teaser -> Ghost
*Lyric change: "Packages will be sent..." changed to "People will be sent..."*
-Brace Yourself (w/different intro)
-I'll Take You On (last 4-6 lines completely changed. Anyone know the changes?!)
-After You
-Madrigal (said 'Madrigals' first time around)

Everyone around me didn't like Howie. They all thought he pre-recorded his music and was playing over (i.e. vocal loops, etc.). That really made me angry. It's not hard to tell he's looping. Look at his feet. Pay attention in the begining while he sets up his drum loop. Jeez. Does anyone know if tonight (12/18) was taped? Please PLEASE say yes!!! I'm going to Fingerprints tomorrow, so is Jason, Briona, Danielle and James (my ex who went tonight). My cult is now forming :) I called Universal and asked if I could bring a camera; they said yes. When I got there, it was confenscated. Fuck. So tomorrow I'm taking as many pictures as possible. I really hope Howie will stick around to talk to me. I have a lot to ask him about, music wise. I'm really not a crazy person.
