Jonathan Coulton, 2007-09-14
Jonathan Coulton performed at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, California, on September 14, 2007. I’m one of a few people to post video. Pirates & video links after the cut. See Jonathan Coulton’s blog entry for that performance for more information, or other recordings. He also has a forum posting about this show.
The opening band, Paul & Storm, got the benefit of very shaky camera work. (It gets much steadier. Promise.) They asked for audience participation for a song about pirates. It’s called The Captain’s Wife’s Lament.
Jonathan Coulton started playing, & (four songs in) a place for a tripod opened up. Since I hate shaky-cam, I’m not posting those.
- A Talk with George
- Skullcrusher Mountain
- A bit of banter, involving a butchered stuffed animal.
- I Crush Everything
- Tom Cruise Crazy – fixed
- Code Monkey
- Make You Cry
- Creepy Doll
- I Feel Fantastic
- This camera’s still new to me; it presented the time oddly, so Mr. Fancy Pants was interrupted by a tape swap.
- Mandelbrot Set
- You Ruined Everything
The battery died in the beginning of Re: Your Brains. Mostly, these were split before encoding, but the encoder – mencoder – choked on certain time ranges. So, for some songs, I encoded the whole thing then split it up with avisplit, which caused a few seconds of overlap on those songs.

Man — I ran out of space on my card during Brains both at this show and up in Seattle. I swear, that song is cursed! :-}
