Did anyone go to the Kill Kancer benefit and if so, what songs did Dave sing?

This was like no other Soul Asylum show I've seen in my life!!!

The entire show was fun with all the different styles of music being played in the same venue for a great cause.
Run Westy Run was added to the bill at the last minute just made it that much better.
Although Run Westy Run did play a short 5 or 6 song set, it did also have its very special moments.
Including when Craig Johnson, also a member of Golden Smog and The O'Jeez, strapped on a
bass and said "this was Karl's bass and I don't think I ever changed the strings".

As Dave and Justin took the stage, there was something very different from the very start.
A giant video backdrop was behind the drum set and 2 T.V. sets were also placed on each side of the stage.

What took place next is something new, something to shake things up and something to think about - video and audio synced to the beats and electronic music mixed with guitar and vocals.
The music and vocals were also intermixed with audio and visuals on the screen.
Yes, they did play some familiar songs but this was like no way you've ever heard them before!!!
During "Artificial Heart", the backdrop video was playing a recut version of the promo video and the 2 T.V. sets on each side of the stage was playing a close up live shot of Karl playing bass. He was playing with the band :)
"Oh Karl" was again a very emotional song with the backdrop of moving though the clouds with Dave singing some very powerful and emotional lyrics.

The set was one long medley which also included Kirk Johnson coming out to dance during "Surfer Joe".
During "Stand Up and Be Strong", the backdrop was home video with, I think, Ely singing the song and playing a toy guitar.
Craig Johnson joined Dave and Justin on Karl's bass once again for a great version of Parliament's "Flashlight".

What an AWESOME night!!

Thanks so much for the show report, Mike! I'm glad it was such a great time. I only have one RWR CD but I sure would love to see them someday if I get the chance. Those Johnson brothers are so cute. :)
