Those are the three parts I found on youtube for Dan's show at the Lodge Room on 5/9/19, featuring new songs Cue Synthesizer, Crimson Tide, either an updated version of "Come Out" or a new song altogether, plus he introduces "It Ain't Easy Baby" as a new song- which I believe he first played in like 2009?  It looks like it'll finally make it on to an/the next album!

What a great set - thanks for sharing!

How had I never heard - or heard of - “It Ain’t Easy Baby”? Really like.

“Crimson Tide” and ”Cue Synthesizer” share this ominous sort of building statement of intent, sort of introducing a character, in the same way as “Notorious Lightning”. I hear either as an album opener.

I really liked his vocals on the Joseph Shabason and Sandro Perri records too. Sedated Dan is a pleasure. The 12” “Archer on the Beach” is in my top 5.

Long story short re: the Neko Case dates way back when—
Dan absolutely stuck the landing 10/10 best performance I’ve ever witnessed of “Goddess of Drought” at the Seattle show.

i agree, "sedated dan" as you call it. Archer on the beach/grief point is still in my rotation. still have yet to see him solo myself, he hasn't done a solo show in philadelphia for awhile, and baltimore and nyc have always not worked for me when they are scheduled. but i'm definitely gonna see him (and the band) in i think march though
