Strange Tales from The Largo

Was an interesting night at The Largo, Robyn played on 1 1/2 hour set,
as opposed to the usual two short sets he tends to play there. The set
was filled with so many strange and humorous monologue, I am still
laughing about some of it. Also, there are many either new songs, or
songs that are covers that are so obscure that I have not been able to
come up with anything. If anyone has any idea's on some of these,
please feel free to comment. Robyn was joined by Jon Brion most of the
night, and a little by Grant Lee Phillips also. Also a great 5 minute
impromptu song (see below) which I hope ends up on something officially
released some day. Robyn played his 6 string acoustic all night, except
one song in which he was on the piano, and the one song his electric
(see below).
