SWELL, live @ Le Ciel, Grenoble (2008)

SWELL (US), live @ Le Ciel, Grenoble, France - 25.10.2008

The show @ Le Ciel, in the city center of Grenoble, was one of the better shows of the 2008 tour. David & co were clearly in a good mood. The show in the "underground" - the venue hides in the basement of the local university - started with Bridgette. Strange because this song was often last or second last on the playlist. The band also played Bongstarr that night. That didn't happen too often either. The ultimate proof that Swell never, ever played the same set. Freel liked improvisation, variety and unpredictability.

Setlist: intro (Sophisticated Swing + Addio a Cheyenne) – bridgette, you love me – down – trouble loves you – bongstarr – kinda stoned – what i always wanted – sunshine everyday – south of the rain and the snow – song seven – measure of the moment – come livid – something to do – get high

Attendance: 120 (approx)

RIP David W. Freel (1958-2022)
