The Feelies at Johnny Brenda's 3/13/09




The Feelies tore it up earlier tonight at Johnny Brenda's with an electric show that featured several of their signature songs ("Away", "Sooner or Later", show closer "Fa-Ce-La") plus frenetic covers of "She Said She Said", "Paint It Black" and "Barstool Blues". Lotsa familiar faces there including Feeney, Fudgie, Turtle, Hook, Diane, DJ Mertter, Jamie, Steve K, Dan, Annie, Frank, Lisa and I'm assuming BagofSongs Tom and Hinchey.

Go see them if you get the chance. The Feelies, not Bagofsongs and Hinchey.

    I must agree with your assessment of the Feelies. They haven't lost a step since their heyday. Much fun!

    Fa Ce La was the 2nd song of the 2nd encore - just before barstoll Blues. Any idea of the other two songs that were performed during the encores?

    Bag Of Songs was there and will be posting a great live recording of the show sometime later today. Can't believe I didn't run into any of you guys.

    Other encores were Paint it Black!
    They never say very much. I think that is what makes the music more powerful. The opening act Qatsi was also quite interesting, they were certainly not a sound alike band. I picked up their Ep and I like it. Also got a Feelies T Shirt finally!

    Wish I could have made this show. The one time I saw them (~'85) wasn't an ideal experience.

    Oh, and I'm curious...

    What's it feel like to be rejected by the NIT's?
