Set lists: Squeeze with Aimee Mann

It's been a while since I've had set lists to post, but on 3 September, I had the great pleasure of seeing Squeeze in concert at the Ryman auditorium. I love Squeeze so much it's not even funny. That's also why I bought my tickets way soon after they went on sale to the general public and ended up with a front row seat (as far as traditional seating goes - there were 12-20 chairs set up slightly closer than my row, but that's still plenty close for me!) Aimee Mann opened, and while I haven't really followed her solo career much, she also performed quite a set. I only really knew one of the songs at all well ("That's Just What You Are") but she did a good job of selling me her material. I'd mean that literally if I hadn't been a little too broke to buy one of the albums at the merch table since I'd already gotten too much before the show. One thing I also noticed was her radiant smile. Anyhow, overall, despite being put off by some of my fellow concertgoers, who apparently think it's a wonderful idea to crowd in front as the show progresses regardless of who might have been enjoying the view without them, I was quite happy with the artists (especially Squeeze - so not a disappointment in the least) and would recommend catching a show if at all possible.
