Here is another flashback article, documenting some old shows I've seen prior to W♥M.
As you know, Sean Lennon is the son of Yoko Ono and John Lennon. John's other son, Julian Lennon, also became a musician, but that's another story. I went out to see Sean Lennon at First Avenue in Minneapolis on a cold December day in 2006.
I've actually accidentally seen Sean Lennon before, in 1999, when I saw Cibo Matto for their Stereo*Type A tour (supporting Luscious Jackson). We were standing in line and there were all these fans with Beatles T-Shirts. I was pretty clueless, but it soon became clear when Cibo Matto took the stage that it was Sean Lennon playing bass in the band. I didn't know it then, but at that time period, Sean was dating singer Yuka Honda from Cibo Matto. That was the first time I saw Sean Lennon.
I caught Sean Lennon again for his Friendly Fire tour in 2006. Opening up for all his December dates was Jim Noir, from Manchester, England, although I am told that he was a no-show that night. He would have likely playing songs from his then-debut album Tower of Love.
I do have a photograph of Sean Lennon's setlist, as you can see, he basically played the entire Friendly Fire album live ("Friendly Fire", "Falling Out of Love", "Dead Meat", "Parachute", "Spectacle", "Wait for Me", "On Again Off Again", "Headlights", "Tomorrow").
The only non-Friendly Fire songs were a T-Rex cover, "Would I Be the One" and Into the Sun's "Mystery Juice". I hadn't heard Friendly Fire so the show wasn't that memorable for me, but it was apparent to me that Sean loved his new songs and was eager to test them out live.
Currently, Sean Lennon can be seen live at odd shows, including his appearance with Spacehog and Liv Tyler for the David Lynch Foundation. Sean is currently half of the duo The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger with girlfriend Kemp Muhl. Also, a little known fact, but last year, Sean and Greg Saunier of Deerhoof form Mystical Weapons, with their self-titled debut album from Chimera Music.
