Last night my friend Josh and I made our way out to the El Rey Theatre here in LA to see Liz Phair perform live on her Funstyle Tour which got underway earlier this week:
Liz is currently on tour in support of her new album Funstyle which she released digitally in July and will release on physical CD on October 19. While she performed a few new songs, the lion’s share of the setlist was made up of classic Liz Phair songs that were the delight of every person in attendance. To be honest, it really felt like a Greatest Hits show to me. After the jump, check out some photos that I snapped of the show last night and check out video of two of my fave performances — Divorce Song and Flower …
Here is the setlist of songs that Liz performed last night:
Supernova
6’1″
Divorce Song
May Queen
Never Said
Johnny Feelgood
Nashville
And He Slayed Her
Polyester Bride
Perfect World
Mesmerizing
Oh, Bangladesh
Extraordinary
Stratford-on-guy
Fuck And RunEncore:
Friend Of Mine
White Babies
Why Can’t I?
Flower
Right from the opening strains of Supernova, I knew the show was going to rock. As you can see, Liz only played 2 songs off of Funstyle (And He Slayed Her and Oh, Bangladesh) … the rest of the songs were beloved classics. Here is video that I shot of her performance of Divorce Song:
