Jason Lytle @ McCarren Park: Lost On His Merry Way

Hi all! Have a good weekend? About a thousand of you made it out to McCarren Park (in spite of a non-functioning L train, a slow-as-all-hell/rancid G train and sweltering heat) for the JL/Pretty Girls Make Graves show yesterday afternoon.

The Bon Savants opened the show in style but your sluts were too busy distracted by soy dogs and a vicious game of dodgeball to give the band the proper review they deserve. Sorry guys.

Anyway, Jason. The last time I saw him at Other Music I was convinced it'd be the last time I'd ever see him... at least see him perform Grandaddy songs! Well, I was wrong. Not only did he just finish 2 nights @ Joe's Pub, he came out to Greenpoint for a great set in the park. His set was pretty similar to the OM gig. Here's the official setlist, but he didn't stick to it. In fact, much of the middle part was omitted & replaced by 'Lost On Yer Merry Way'. I didn't complain.

Just before he hit the stage with a couple buddies toying with background effects and vocals (it gave it a more Grandaddy feel than the in-store), some chick was taking multiple shots of the group. I snuck in right next to her for a single photo and Jason decided to give me this sad face. I didn't mean to screw up your picture, lady! As you can see the 2 people on the right are still smiling for the other photo. Ha!
