Hi All...just back from a fabulous evening with Fran in beautiful Annapolis, MD. He was his usual charming, hilarious self so definitely no need to worry about him. ; ) Also, one of the first things he said was that the band is definitely NOT splitting up so...yay!
Anyway, he did strictly solo stuff first followed by some Travis requests. And, if the setlist seems short, it's just because he spent an equal amount of time telling stories. We had an awesome time. : )
Buttercups

Fly in the Ointment

it was a great show! the opener, foley (?) was pretty good as well...
fran did a couple lines from robot, which was hilarious, i thought for a bit that he might do the entire song.
he spoke about canceling shows to be with his son, so guess that solves that mystery.
there are some great videos up on youtube-

| I hope he gets these terribly ordinary set-lists out of his system before the NYC gig next Thursday. |

| What's wrong with the set list? You're seeing Fran Healy in New York. I would be perfectly happy with that set list. ;) |

I understand he is going to play his new material, that's fine, but 9 new songs is far too many in my view. He should cut it down to 6 and replace the other 3 with classic Travis tunes. Please. |

Well, it is a solo tour to promote his solo stuff, after all. |
