Fiona? Tonight? Monster. Killer. Fifteenth Wu-Tang member. Set list here at Fluxblog. Matthew and I experienced pretty much the same show, and I have little to add except this: Charley Drayton is one hell of a drummer. Mike Elizondo is a perfect bass player. The other guys play lots and lots of keyboards. Dave Palmer played a great, pounding piano "solo," except it was really just an extended coda, and it was mostly chords, which is the kind of thing that should make a guitar player think, because the effect was not so much of a solo but of a song that just kept branching out in self-regenerating Lego forms, getting dissonant, but never chaotic, and then just stopping.
