Flight of the Conchords at Abravanel Hall, Salt Lake City Utah, May 17, 2009

Arj Barker, who plays Dave, the pawn shop owner, on the show opened. He had some funny stuff to say. The funniest thing was he talked about being happy to be in Salt Lake City...but they didn't make it to the Vatican....


The Conchords hit the stage dressed as Robots complete with disco ball codpieces and sang:


Set List:

1. Too Many D*cks on the Dance Floor

Banter about their cowboy shirts as they were trying to look like Americans and blend in. This got a large round of applause and Jemaine said that it was "good to see that Americans are popular in America."

2. Hurt Feelings

Talking Section: Professional...better quality version of talking not just something like "We're out of onions" like we might get at home.
We were cautioned that we might get 2 songs in a row - but don't get uncomfortable. And a woman on the front row gave them 2 sexy flowers that danced. Jemaine set them on the bongos.

3. Most Beautiful Girl in the Room

Then Bret announced that they were going to do one of their new songs, one from about 7 years ago: 4. Ballad of Stana

5. Robots

Bret talked about New Zealand musical exports and named names...Jemaine played a brief impromptu version of OMC's "How Bizarre"

Then they announced that they were traveling with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and brought out Nigel the Cellist.

6. Unsure of title--something about Hello Man, Sitting in the Park

Some Banter, then straight into

7. I Told You I Was Freekiex-Girlfriends
8. I'm Not Crying9. Mutha 'Uckas

Someone shouted out a request...Jemaine said "Rose of Damascus?" Bret said that was a very weak heckle...

They finally figured out what they wanted, and they played it but Bret explained that they don't normally play them back to back becuase they are so similar:

10.Hiphopopotamus v. Rhymenocerous

They called for some "very sexy lighting" and finally settled for something soprt of dark but intimate and played:
11. Business Time
12. Dogs? (Unsure of this title)
13. Sugalumps

Encore:
14. Bus Driver's Song
15. Carol Brown
16. Alby (The Racist Dragon)
17. Bowie.


Then it took forever to get out...but along the way, we met Arj Barker, and got an autograph. He was very gracious.

Then behind Abrabvanel to wait for a very kind and graciuous Jemaine who came out to sign autographs, give hugs, take pictures, and talk.

Thanks for coming guys|! Hope to see you again sometime soon!
