ï»¿Robyn Hitchcock @ Cafe Largo (Fairfax)
1999.06.18
Cafe Largo
West Hollywood, CA


Notes: The second set did not deliver on the promise of songs to play when theyâ€™re drunk. Instead, it was a set consisting entirely of improv songs. In my opinion, this was the least successful of all the improv sets. Particularly, the middle three songs where the comedians of the night were allowed to showcase their songwriting talents. I did provide a fair barometer for judging just how proficient Robyn, Jon, and Grant are at this very specific skill.


Panic moment for me was when my improv song title was the first one chosen and Grant started asking me questions about it. I was torn between trying not to speak, as I was wearing the mics on my shirt collar, and showcasing my witty improv skills. I failed miserably.


This time, the Largo Bunch are:
Robyn Hitchcock: Vocals, Guitar, Harmonica
Jon Brion: Multiple instruments, Vocals
Grant Lee Phillips: Vocal, Guitar, Bass, Egg
Jackie Harris
Paul F Tompkins


Audience Recording:
