Last night I made it to the Doug Fir, for the highly anticipated NYE set by Quasi playing The Who. That’s a high bar, and the band did a great job! With Janet ‘Keith Moon’ Weiss on drums, Joanna Bolme on The Ox’s bass, and Sam Coomes in orange Townshend jumpsuit on guitar, the opened at around 11:30pm with “Substitute” and roared into the new year.
Here’s the set as I remember it (order’s probably a bit off and I may have missed a few):
- Substitute
- I Can See for Miles
- Pictures of Lily
- Boris the Spider
- The Kids are Alright
- a bit of a jam leading up to the midnight hour… and then in 2010:
- My Generation – guest male vocal
- Long Live Rock – guest male vocal
- Young Man Blues – guest vocal from Corin Tucker?
- Armenia City in the Sky
- Happy Jack
- The Seeker
- Can’t Explain
- Won’t Get Fooled Again
- Encore: Heaven and Hell
This was great fun! Thanks to Quasi for making it happen. I’ll take it as a good sign for 2010.
