Nickel Creek @ BU

May 21st, 2006

Nickel Creek

Last night we were privileged with the opportunity of seeing Nickel Creek perform in the Great Hall at Bethel. I’ve been listening to Nickel Creek for a crazy long time, and this was my first time seeing them play live. Wow. What a killer concert. Sara, Sean, and Chris were joined by an upright bassist for the evening. They played a great variety of tunes from their three CDs as well as a few unexpected covers as well. Here’s the show setlist (thanks to Chasman on the NC forums for this):

  1. Why Should the Fire Die
  2. Scotch and Chocolate
  3. This Side
  4. Reasons Why
  5. Ode To a Butterfly
  6. Jealous of the Moon
  7. Best of Luck
  8. House of Tom/Short People/Bach Interlude/House of Tom
  9. When in Rome
  10. Somebody More Like You
  11. First and Last Waltz/Helena
  12. Nice Dream (Radiohead cover)
  13. Smoothie Song
  14. Anthony
  15. Toxic (Britney Spears cover)
  16. Stumptown
  17. Fox/Fiddle Tunes, (with Mark clogging)/Fox

…followed by these six encore numbers:

  1. Chris: Solo, Violin Sonata in G moll (J.S. Bach)
  2. Sara: Solo, Pony, (Tom Waits cover)
  3. Sean: Solo, solo tune – title unk.
  4. Mark: Solo, The Falling Waters of Arden (from his new solo cd)
  5. All: Dont Fall In Love with a Drifter (Jimmy Martin cover)
  6. All: When You Come Back Down

From now on, I’ll be keeping a close watch on NC’s tour schedule and will jump at the chance to see them again. If you’re interested in reading more about the concert, a few reviews are posted over in the NC forums. I also took a few pictures…there up here. Sorry about the poor quality – I realized I didn’t have my SLR set to spot metering like I should have…as a result, the shutter speeds were much longer than they needed to be, causing some blurring in the pictures. Oh well…lesson learned I guess. I normally would have caught this, but I had turned off the LCD on my camera as to not disturb the people sitting behind me.
