01 Not All Our Tears [+ Hope says: "Can we get these lights even lower? And can I get a cocktail? And hurry. It's a winery."]
02 Salt of the Sea [+ Hope sighs and says "goddess" (I think)]
03 Around My Smile
04 Sleep
05 Day Disguise [+Hope says "yeah play it" (I think)]
06 That Spider (false start) [+ Hope says: "The dust is changing everything"]
07 That Spider
06 Trouble
09 I Thought You'd Fall For Me
10 Suzanne (take 1) (stopped short) [+ after a loud screech of feedback, Hope says "Sorry" (I think)]
11 Suzanne (take 2) (They stop the song mid-way again)[+ Hope says (something inaudible) then, "Sorry, it doesn't sound right." Colm says "It sounds shit." Then Hope says "I think, I think we got a bit dusted. Do the next one instead...It sounds weird. I don't know what it is. Got dust in the brain...There's dust everywhere. There's dust on my glockenspiel, dust in my harmonica"]
12 Into the Trees
13 Liquid Lady (take 1) (ends mid-song, interrupted by power outage)
14 (technical problems break.The recording was edited by the person recording it to make the break shorter) [They apparently required quiet in order to fix the outage and sound. It sounds like Hope (without a mic)calling from the stage: "Colm!," and a bit later it sounds like Hope saying "Everybody be quiet!" Then a man explains: "Hey everybody, we're just re-booting the sound test, so give us five or ten minutes, and we'll be right back."]
15 Liquid Lady (take 2) [Before the song starts Hope says something like: "I'm gonna do (inaudible) again... 'Cause we've got those lovely people singing songs. It's so wonderful." Then one of her back up singers responds:"Who is lovely when we sing most? Hope"] [+ after the song Hope says "Thank you." And then: "Sorry about the power outage. Never invite a witch to your town."]
16 Antiquity
16a (encore break) [It sounds like Colm says "Oh yeah, we're gonna do one little quiet song to finish this." Later Hope says something like "I love (inaudible)"]
17 Let Me Get There [+ Hope says "I don't know what to do. The boys want to play one more...It's not an easy one... Dust in my teeth. Dust in my mouth. Dust in my boots"...(inaudible)...I need a whisky for this song....No, don't do that. It sounds like it's saying jokes (inaudible)...I'm almost friendly. And I don't want to be friendly.Okay, do this."]
18 Primitive (The Groupies/The Cramps cover)
...............................................................................
The music playing in the venue after the show is Donovan's "Catch the Wind." Someone must have chosen that song as especially appropriate after the venue had been hit with a wind/dust storm during the show.
To better hear Hope's and Colm's on stage comments, I raised the volume of some of those segments.
Thanks go to FB Group member Jason Roberts for two video clips I used in the yt upload. Luz Gallardo took many of the photos.
I've also uploaded this show to youtube, here:
https://youtu.be/BWqi8oIpeoo-Excerpt from a radio interview Hope & Colm gave to WFUV, NYC, NPR station Oct. 24, 2017, two days after their October tour ended with a Brooklyn, NYC gig Oct. 22 [the full transcript + a link to the audio can be found at an interviews thread at this site: "...Interviews 2016-17"]. News broke the night of the Sonoma gig of out-of-control wildfires in the area. Hope & Colm talk about this Sonoma show & their frightening experience of their own tour bus being endangered by fires on a back road shortly after this show, QUOTE:
HOPE: We've had a pretty good time on the, on the tour
COLM: Yeah. It's been a crazy tour, you know. We had a sort of a baptism by fire, kind of thing
WFUV: Oh my God, I know, I heard about that, the wildfires
COLM: Yeah, yeah. So it was a close call, yeah. We were getting prepared there, prepared to run off the bus and leave, and jump the bus
HOPE: Yeah
COLM: Because the only way out was to reverse, so we were reversing this tour bus down a country road with a trailer on it that was wobbling from side to side. And we could see the flames just chasing us
HOPE: On each side of the road
WFUV: What?
HOPE: And we didn't know that there were fires. We played the show
WFUV: This was in wine country
COLM: Yeah,yeah, Sonoma
HOPE: Mm hm, Sonoma, yeah
WFUV: Uh huh
HOPE: And we played the show and nobody said anything. But there was a crazy wind storm
COLM: Mm
HOPE: I mean to the point that you could not see anything
COLM: Yeah
HOPE: That's how bad it was
COLM: Dust was everywhere. I had beaches on my drum kit. I was looking at my cymbal and was"Yeah, there's a beach there," and it's moving around. and there's a beach on my tongue [laughs]
HOPE: Sand, yeah. My glockenspiel was full of dust, my harmonica. I mean it was, it was crazy
COLM: Yeah, barn doors were banging. It was just crazy, really
HOPE: [laughs] But it was sort of cool.
COLM: Yeah, it was cool, yeah
HOPE: It was like a haunting experience
COLM: Yeah, it was like the witches are out to play tonight, you know. It was wild.
HOPE: But we didn't know about the fires until we were in our bus. I was already asleep in my bunk, and the tour manager came over to my bunk and said "Get up, get dressed, and get ready to run off the bus. There's fires."
COLM: Hm
HOPE: I just thought, "oh no." I mean, I wasn't surprised, but it was so scary
COLM: Mm
WFUV: What a way to start a tour
COLM: Yeah
HOPE: Yeah
WFUV: Wow. Well, thankfully, you guys got out of that, um, unscathed
HOPE: Yeah
COLM: Mm, yeah, we were traumatized for, you know, a few days [laughs]
WFUV: I bet you were. Came within inches, right?
COLM: Mm, Yeah, yeah
HOPE: Yeah, and so many people lost their homes and I mean it's just terrible
COLM: A lot of them died as well. It was a narrow escape 'cause as we, we turned around, we managed to find a drive way. Our tour manager was-, he ran back and he found a driveway. We reversed into the driveway, then turned around. But as, as we turned around, we drove by a, a police car that had-, was crushed by a tree that had fallen down. We had to, to scrape the bus past this fallen tree with who knows, you know what happened to that policeman
in that car, you know. Yes, pretty, pretty harrowing
WFUV: Yeah, yeah you think touring is a glamorous life, but man [laughs]
COLM: Yeah. Yeah, yeah
