Daniel Johnston 'Tribute' at Barbican

Dirtbomb [Edit] [Delete] 15 replies 12:06, 16 April '06

Hey
Anyone from DiS go to the Daniel Johnston night at the Barbican on Saturday? Pretty impressive...Kicked off with James Yorkston, then Vic Chesnut, Howe Gelb (with a couple of danes), Teenage Fanclub, Jason Pearce (with strings/backing vocals) and then a typically ramshackle 4 tracks by Daniel himself. Each artist did 2/3 Johnston tracks and then 1 or 2 of their own. Everett True was compereing, and 'entertained' with two dreadful tracks of his own, much to the bemusement of the audience. Very entertaining..

  • Daniel played!?!?

    FUCK! Thought he wasn't even gonna be there. Should really read things more thoroughly.

    • aye

      He walked on stage, guitar still in its case (in trademark tracksuit) and then thrashed his way through 3-4 tracks (1 on the piano) and then left again.

      Sadly no sign of Mark Linkous and Jad Fair.

      • Dammit.

        I just know i'll never get the chance to see him in person. I feel stoopid now.

  • it was

    on Friday surely?

    I was there, saw the documentary about him beforehand which left me pretty upset and I wasn't sure I was going to make it through the gig after that but it was a great great night. Jason Pierce inparticular was mindblowing.

    Shame Daniel didn't play longer though I wasn't expecting him to, but what he did play was fantastic. Do you know what the song he played on the piano was called? Gutted I missed his signing yesterday.

    And yes, Everett True, hahaha.

    • amazing gig

      I thought that Vic Chestnutt was the best and was very impressed with Howie Bell when he was playing guitar and piano at the same time with the arm guitar.
      I was gutted too Mark Linkous was not there but Daniel was amazing.
      Went to the signing the next day and he was a very nice man.
      He drew me a sketch with the words hi how are you and his signature (i am so framing that).
      Everett True should stick to his day job..
