^ (but seriously awesome )

as always they are really taking their sweet ass time to get to the west coast....i really have to hawk their shows as there are quite a bit of skinny hipsters with beards in the bay area....and they are often 98% of Swans live audience ....in other words....tickets go very quick in the bay area

Each night, there'd be either a short or long version of Autobahn...
or they'd play The Model (or not). One night we were surprised by
Pocket Calculator (w/Dentaku) because we had suddenly realized that they
hadn't played that one yet. It seemed to be as carefully thought out as
possible considering they were trying to keep the shows at a reasonable length.
i think their set was very much thought out....and being that it was the third of three nights....it seemed to me that they concentrated on Computer World and Man Machine (which was just fine by me )....pretty much playing 90% of both albums along with the big "hits"....ie a long version of Autobahn, Trans Europe Express, Tour De France and an amazing encore of Techno Pop and Music Non Stop
