[quote="Zeiram"]At the Knitting Factory show last year, someone yelled out a request for Swanky Street and they played it.[/quote]

Are you sure it was per his request? It could possibly just have been somewhere on their setlist...if it really played the song by his request - thats sweet.

awesome about the swanky street one
i hate how the american dvd tour cut swanky street off right at the solo

they have played smile live before i believe. the same concert as BOTP, but they cut it off

if you watch the intro to botp, you get a glance at the set list, i saw smile on it right before wake up frenzy i believe (i have to reference back to it)

kanojo wa kyou, beautiful picture: also a few of my choices i would liek to see live

and naked shuffle

[quote="lmd2131"]and naked shuffle[/quote]

Jun would die.

Jun can only play rock. That's probably why Tatsuya left. They wanted too much rock and he liked Jazz/Pop better.

No Substance would be cool to see, too.

Does anyone know if there will be merchandise available or if there's any chance of seeing the band afterwards for autographs or whatnot?

chances are there willd be merchandise and whatnot

i think they had somel ast year

as for meeting the band? i jsut plan on getting a nice little vehicle like a bike or skateboard and following them back to the hotel and meet them there
who wants to come with me?

Is that normal? If it is...I'm all for it - except the only problem I can see is their lack of fluency in English. If they had a signing booth, it would be much more automated and not conversation-oriented. Still, I'd really like to meet them. Maybe someone can play translator! Ha.

And cameras - are we allowed to take pictures?

When I witnessed the sexyness of noodles live, after the performance, the girls were just kicking back in the crowd. They had things to sell. But no shirts. I got their John Handcocks (hrrrrrrrr) with no formal signing booth. The signing booth thing happened only at ACEN, cuz they were being formally sponsored by Geneon. :/

I am pretty sure that Swanky Street was played at a few other venues on their last tour, but someone else probably knows for sure. I don't think it was just in response to the request though, but it's not impossible.

A bunch of people wouldn't stop screaming FUNNY BUNNY, and they played the first ten seconds or so just for fun. Not much, but it was still funny to see.

Dude >_>; the second link on the OP was for the Hollywood Knitting Factory.

Oh my God.. my brother is coming home from college (he's 23 and I'm 15) and like.. he could so take me.. but he'd probably fucking hate it... I'd have to bribe him with some money.. or sexual favors..

Dude >_<; I just WISH they could play Chain Reaction for fuck's sake.
Edit: Damn... dude... they better play Rush... >_<; and Fool on the Planet... and... Strange Chameleon >_>; and Stalker.. and.. shit... so many songs.. and Black Sheep and Juliet.. and Kim Deal.. and Where is my Mind? and... and... and.. and.. EARTH ANGEL!

EARSUUUUUU ANGERUUUUU EARSU ANGERUUUUUUUUUUUUU WIRR YOU BE MINNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
MY DARRING DEAR I RUV YOU RONG TIME.
Anyway, they REALLY need to play.. SECRET SLOGAN!

Dude, simma down now, simma down. I doubt they would play one show on June 26th in NY and then go all the way to hollywood for a gig the next day. Anyway, that link has always been that way but when I called ticket web, they said both shows were in NY. Sorry.

agreed x 1000

I realize it could have been already on the setlist, but considering their reaction it seemed like it was spur of the moment. Especially since most of their set list consisted of FLCL songs. *shrugs* Maybe they will, maybe they won't.

As for meeting the band, I know Sawao was chilling on the balcony level at some point that night, as a friend of a friend had a picture taken with him up there.
