Mike Watt + The Pair of Pliers live @ Mercury Lounge in New York NY 14/OCT/1999 (partial show)

As always with the Pair of Pliers tapes, great sound and even better performance. Tom Watson bumped into Fred Smith of Television earlier that day by coincidence, so that's why Watt dedicated Little Johnny Jewel to him. 01. 0:00:47 Get Gettin' Down Down (Bazooka tune) 02. 0:03:30 Walking the Cow (Daniel Johnston cover) 03. 0:06:46 The Big Bang Theory (John deVries/Mike Watt tune) 04. 0:09:36 Ballbuster (Overpass tune) 05. 0:11:09 The Glory of Man (Minutemen tune) 06. 0:13:52 I Have Always Been Here Before (Roky Erickson cover) 07. 0:16:15 Big Train (Blackbird cover) 08. 0:19:08 Forever - One Reporter's Opinion 09. 0:22:07 Rebel Girl (Bikini Kill cover) 10. 0:24:35 Little Johnny Jewel (Television cover) 11. 0:31:36 The Red & The Black (Blue Öyster Cult cover) 12. 0:35:28 Fear Is a Man's Best Friend (John Cale cover) 13. 0:38:32 Song for Igor (Mike Watt tune) 14. 0:41:01 The Blue Mask (Lou Reed cover) 15. x:xx:xx Chinese Firedrill (Mike Watt tune) 16. 0:44:29 Formal Introduction (fIREHOSE tune) 17. 0:47:49 The 15th (Wire cover) 18. 0:50:56 The Cliffs Thrown Down (fIREHOSE tune) 19. 0:54:57 We Are Time (The Pop Group cover) Encore 20. 1:01:12 Joe McCarthy's Ghost (Minutemen tune) 21. 1:02:03 Life Stinks (Pere Ubu cover) 22. 1:03:50 E-Ticket Ride (Mike Watt tune) 23. 1:06:25 Fun House (The Stooges cover) 24. 1:08:40 My Favorite Things (Rodgers & Hammerstein/John Coltrane cover) Second Encore 25. 1:12:03 Friction (Television cover) 26. 1:17:15 Drove Up From Pedro (Mike Watt tune) Mike Watt - Bass / Vocals Vince Meghrouni - Drums / Vocals / Harmonica (1) / Sax (21-24) Tom Watson - Guitar / Vocals / Drums (20-24) Recorded on the 14th of October 1999 at the Mercury Lounge in Manhattan (New York City), NY, USA by David McKenzie.
