Concert Notables: Okkervil River opened for Vic Chesnutt.
I Just Came To Tell You That I'm Going is better known as Je Suis Venu te Dire Que Je M'en Vais. Will introduced it as “our little pathetic attempt to do a Serge Gainsbourg we just learned how to play.” He also ended the night in a t-shirt emblazoned with the likeness of Jacques Brel (which, one hopes, he also wore the night before in Brussels). ... Ah, Paris ... ne me quitte pas.
