old 97's

Greetings from Dallas. Local favorites the Old 97's are in the midst of a four night run at historic Sons of Hermann Hall, and are pledging no repeats (other than "Timebomb" to close out each night) during the four shows. I'll get a full review up with pics and video when I'm back in Houston (forgot my damn camera cord), but thought I'd pass along the setlists from 3 of the 4 shows - two of which, Monday and last night, I was lucky to attend. Last night blew Monday away, if you're wondering ("Makin' Love With You" and "W.I.F.E"!!). The final show is tonight, and astute fans of the band should be able to construct the evening's setlist based on the remaining songs that are in play. There's a small chance I missed one or two on either Mon/Tues, so please sound off in the comments if anythings missing. Wish I could go tonight but Slobberbone beats the ever-living hell out of the 97's in my book. Check out the setlists after the jump.

With the rain on Thursday, and the music (finally) on Friday, we were halfway through Wakarusa. The festival had already seen its climax with its one true headliner, The Flaming Lips, but many of our favorite bands were still to come on both Saturday and Sunday.
