* Son Of Sam
From: "Francois Drouin" francois.drouin@voila.fr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SETLIST: * Son Of Sam * Bled White * Cupid's Trick * Everything Means Nothing To Me * Amity * A Question Mark * L.A. * Sweet Adeline * Stupidity Tries * Independence Day * Ballad Of Big Nothing * Junk Bond Trader * Can't Make A Sound So, finally, I crossed the border just to see Elliott playing a neighbour country. I had to leave my small car a bit far away from the two stages and that day was a typical end of August day, because I had some strong showers and I arrived completely wet for the Elliott set. His set was under a Pyramid tent, on the second stage (not on the main one). He played just between 14:15 and 15:00 The tour manager introduced them with a loud "Ladies and gentlemen, Elliott Smith". He played with a hat and with the Willy Nelson T-shirt. The atmosphere was great with some nice ovations. Apparently many fans were there. The set was rather short. After the set someone announced in Flamish (Dutch), because Werchter is in the Flamish part of Belgium, the councellation of the Pear Jam set for the day after. The day before, in Denmark, 7 people died at the Roskilde festival during the Pearl Jam set, during one big move of the audience! Back home, in my car, I was listening to the Studio Brussels radio and they broadcasted at least one song (it was Independence Day or ballad of big nothing, I think) recorded just 2 hours earlier at the festival. So, I think the whole Elliott set has been recorded by this Belgium radio. I must say, as well, that many very big cameras recorded the Elliott set, it must be for some TV program. Francois
