As Rocky was busy reporting and being..Rocky...do we have reports and/or set list for Mr. E's heroic 108 degree appearance?

Re: Roky at Coachella
Thu, June 7, 2007 - 1:08 AMNo, but I remember him playing-
Don’t Shake Me Lucifer
The Beast
Two Headed Dog
Creature With The Atom Brain
I Think Of Demons
Bloody Hammer
Fire Engine
You’re Gonna Miss Me
among others. A month later, I'm still knocked out that I saw a guy from the original NUGGETS album play Coachella! Yes, and that set WAS heroic, magnificent even. He really rocked the asses off a lot of young people who had no idea who he was. There were only a few of us singing along to stuff like "Two Headed Dog," so most of the rest of the many hundreds looked to be random folk blown away by an elderly maniac.
Thanks for making me remember, Philip! I smile whenever I do. That was the high point of Coachella 07 for me. -

Re: Roky at Coachella
Tue, June 19, 2007 - 1:49 PMI saw Roky last night here in London. Yes, it was amazing to actually see the man - out of all the people in sixties bands Roky is one that I least expected to see live. He was in good voice, in great spirits. The thing that let him down, though, was the guitarist - who sounded like he'd played in too many bar room blues covers bands in the seventies and eighties. Oh, and the fact that they were playing the Royal Festival Hall. A concert hall where everyone has to sit down during the show. Would've been SO much better to see him in a proper rock'n'roll venue. Overall, I was disappointed with the evening to be honest.
