[Jonathan Vessey]

Here's the "official" set list for tonight's New York show -- grabbed a copy
from the soundboard.  Someone correct me if there were any differences
between this and what was actually played... it seems pretty close to what I
remember.  

Bullroarer
Too Much Sunshine
Renaissance Man
Common Ground
Lucky Country
--------------
Luritja Way
Spirit of the Age
Now or Neverland
Blue Sky Mine
--------------
Mozzie (Mosquito March)
Truganini
Golden Age
King of the Mountain
River Runs Red
Stand in Line
Deadheart
Dreamworld
-------------- (first encore)
Redneck Wonderland
Real Thing
Beds are Burning
H (Hercules)

Not on the set list was the second encore: One Country and "Shakin' All
Over" (written by Johnny Kidd, originally done by the Guess Who and then by
Iggy Pop, according to a quick 'net search).

It was a much different set than they played at the Irving Plaza gig a
couple of months ago, which was nice since this one included a number of
songs I hadn't seen before, or for awhile, and, seeing them for the third
time in six months, it was nice to get something over than the standard
"greatest hits" set.  "Hercules" was the highlight of the show for me -- it
(and maybe "Only the Strong") is my favorite live Oils tune.  They've closed
most of the shows I've seen in the last couple years with it but it was
notably absent from the last one, so it was great to see it back.

Will Hoge joined the Oils on stage for "Shakin' All Over" and looked pretty
sheepish and out of his element at first -- has he been singing with them at
other shows?  He warmed up after Peter motioned for him to take the mic to
sing a verse, and ended up getting into it and singing along with Peter for
most of the song.
