Great to get an original setlist at the Nokia. This looked pretty likely with Lisa up there and the Sugar Mag opener, as the only dead show in the 70's which started with Sugar Magnolia was New Years Eve 1979. Love the original setlists because of the surprises. Thought the first set was ending early when I heard Music only to be nicely surprised with Unbroken Chain and then a first set closing Sunshine Daydream. Waiting for Franklin after Slipknot they threw me a left hook in the form of a strong solid Stranger, only to come back with one of the best Franklins ever. They continued to mix it up with Alligator and a Lovelight with Lisa taking the lead before the Werewolves encore. It doesn't get much better.

Have to agree - the 'Stranger' was a curveball for me too, albeit a welcome one! Was Rob E. doing a Blue Sky tease in Franklin's, or was that just me??? Great crowd, great music, and I can't complain about the venue staff either. Very respectful from what I saw. Note to all for Sat night - get there EARLY! The line to get in was rediculous. Got there in 'plenty of time' and walked in on the end of Cassidy. Bummer. Also, there are no tickets at the Box.. it is sold out. Miracles are hard to come by too (although I was lucky enough to get one yesterday). That said, anyone have an extra for me for tonight??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest st stephen Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 7th time seeing these guys, and wow what a great show last night. being to young to ever really see a good dead show, last night was like seeing the boys in there prime with the energy and suprizes of a new years show. There was recently a discussion about original setlist vs recreations, and now i really understand how the orginal setlist can relly top it all. highlights for me The Music Never Stopped> Unbroken Chain> Sunshine Daydream Help>slip>Feel like a stranger>Franklins SOTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DupreesDiamondBlues Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 what time did the show start and end??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwpolk Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 There appeared to be a crazy line at the box office last night and from reports it did sell out. There are still tickets on Ticketmaster for tonight (I just bought four) - You have to pay all the service fees but I was not going to chance going there tonight without one.

Guest nyctc7 Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 It was a terrific show, and I am not surprised by the steady increase in the band's drawing power. Rob announced that it was the 1st Nokia sell-out, even though I thought they had sold out the venue in the past. The mob of fans is on the one hand very pleasing, but sometimes makes me nostalgic (if one can use that word) for the days, not so long ago, when I could be right up front near the stage. I didn't even attempt it last night. I like the Nokia very much for it's modern design and clean sound, what with the walls and ceiling lined with echo busters. I had a very good time from the seats. Security is a hit n' miss affair, and in my section, sometimes those blissfully smoking without regard to discretion got hassled, but not ejected. Overall, if you wanted to smoke, it was not exactly difficult. The sudden appearence of security prowling the stairs of the seating area every 20 minutes or so was a minor distraction. My advice: remember that smoking is banned. Don't be obvious. But even if you are discreet, you can get unlucky. Be polite to security if you are caught. Add me to list of people who missed the Sugar Mags opener because of the ridiculously slow line to get in. That had not happened to me before. As much as I have loved the Nokia, there are a couple of things starting to bother me about the place, really revolving around sellouts. The back passageway (where the 3rd bar is) is too narrow. It takes too long to get a drink. The dance floor is too crowded. On the plus side, it's just that bigger of a party. I like a setlist with a few surprises, and Unbroken Chain after Music was a very nice surprise, and as was noted Feel Like a Stranger in that slot. The jamming was great, worthy of a Friday night in NYC. Rob was jamming so hard that several times he was swaying back and forth from the waist, I don't recall seeing that before. Looking foward to tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guyute420 Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 what time did the show start and end??? They started at about 8:15 and wrapped it up around midnight. They took a pretty long set break, though. Nasty, nasty show. Possibly the best original set I have heard them play. Lots of energy all night long. Really looking forward to tonight.

Really looking forward to tonight. maybe a stupid question, but here goes anyway Being that it is bitterly cold outside and we'll have jackets, was there a coat check or anything at Nokia?

Guest Funk Schwei Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 maybe a stupid question, but here goes anyway Being that it is bitterly cold outside and we'll have jackets, was there a coat check or anything at Nokia? There was a coat check 'area', but it wasn't open. I guess that's just for the fur and suede crowds. Jackets were strewn all over the railings and the corners of the room. My advice? Wear one you don't care much about and stash it in the venue. I left mine in the front left corner on that balcony-ish area off the floor where is was surprisingly not crowded. Found both of them (it was cold!) afterward without incident. If you'd like a low-key 'warmup bar', I'll highly suggest Jack Dempseys. That 'Beam sure took the cold bite off of me.

Guest guyute420 Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 The coat check was open last night. The line was kind of brutal, though. I'm expecting the same tonight. Definitely show up early. We went to the venue last night at 7:30 and got inside before the show started, but not at the stage. We were still dealing with coat check and booze drinks when they started Sugar Mags. Great thing about Nokia is, no matter where inside the place you are, you can always hear the music well.

Forum MVP kdubfan Posted November 26, 2007 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 yea the crowds at Nokia are growing only suggesting i have for that add MORE Shows ie phil played ten nights there at 60 bucks a pop!! Let me firs start by saying this show was pure energy !!!! It is very easy to see that the band can sell out this place .... looks like its time to maybe think about Radio City Music Hall for a few nights .... and do some of those acoustic/electric shows !!!!!! This was my first trip to NYC and I loved it! The people The food THE SHOW !!!!! Thanks for EVERYTHING Jersey Steve YOU ROCK !!!!! I will post more on this show later ... just got in and must crash (work sucks) Night All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest st stephen Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 after seeing 6 phil shows there and both DSO nokia's.....sold out for phil was a lot more sold out than sold out for dso. I am saying that is a good thing. Maybe people were sneaking in for the phil shows, but the ohil shows just seemed to br more packd but they all were sold out. DSO rocks. Now i am just planning when i can see them again after these two nokias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
