Any idea if Alice played any ACAS songs on July 31st?

Well...I already know that....NOW.

I haven`t received any US setlists yet (which is unusual) and what few reports I've seen conflict!

Yup. That reference was provided (though, sans link) on the first page of this thread....and I'm SO hoping it's true!

I'm going to be seeing him on Halloween at the MGM Grand in CT. I've never seen him before. Does anyone know if his Halloween shows feature anything special or unique from other shows? I'm really hoping to get some ACAS songs. I'll probably still fork over the dough if a full-fledged ACAS performance comes my way next year.

So Wake The Dead is being played currently on our, excellent news, but who is on harmonica?

NotSoPerfect · Post by **NotSoPerfect** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 5:25 pm

I haven't paid close enough attention to the song to see if the vocals overlap the harmonica part....Alice could probably do it!

WickedYoungMan · Post by **WickedYoungMan** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 7:54 pm

If it even has the harmonica part in the it.. if Alice isn't playing it they could just do it on tape.

One Halloween they did the show without the intro tape. Imagine the horror on the sound guy's face. Is that close enough for you?

I'm not entirely sure but I do think that the whole band was wearing the spider make-up during the Halloween show last year. And during the Dragontown tour they had the "heads" of KISS on spikes on the stage during the Halloween show.
So, yes they sometimes do something unique for the Halloween shows.

Yes, Halloween shows have featured "extras". I saw him on Halloween night when he played Niagara Falls a few years ago. "Uncle Alice" (as he called himself) told a Halloween story and the band all wore costumes.

Interesting.....I just asked someone that went to the Redmond show if he played "Wake the Dead" and she said he did not play any new songs....

Might just have to find out live on Friday! Not that that's a problem!

SKULLBOY · Post by **SKULLBOY** » Wed Aug 06, 2008 2:57 am

I've contacted a few people that went to the Redmond show. They all say no new songs, and the setlist sounded identical to the Psycho Drama that he's been doing. Come on Alice, give us something!

NotSoPerfect · Post by **NotSoPerfect** » Wed Aug 06, 2008 3:08 am

So...then I wonder what made this one person think he did "Wake the Dead"? (S)he seems to be the only person of at least a handful at the show that heard it!

Dragonlady · Post by **Dragonlady** » Wed Aug 06, 2008 5:49 am

Maybe she's confusing it with "I Love The Dead"? bit of a stretch but for someone who isn't so familiar with the material it could happen?

I am going on Friday night to the Milwaukee show and was hoping SOMEone had come up with a setlist. I am also going to the Sioux City show on the 10th. I will report if no one elsew does!

NotSoPerfect · Post by **NotSoPerfect** » Wed Aug 06, 2008 2:24 pm

Excellent. There's 3 of us (at least) from the board going to Milwaukee....and I know two other people not on the board going. We ought to be able to come up with the setlist! Or....at the very least if/which ACAS songs were played. (I've never come out of any show knowing the full setlist..even when I meant to jot it down....I get too wrapped up in the show!

)
