"See, the beauty of Cale in the beginning was that he really didn’t know very much about rock. In fact, he knew next to nothing. So, if you turned him loose on an instrument he wasn’t able to play any kind of cliched anything because he didn’t know any of the cliches. It was all original."Sterling Morrison

John Cale setlists 2003
Tour 2003
For the first time since 1996 Cale hits the road with a full backup band. The setlist was a mix of the familiar 'non-hits', a few surprises like Venus In Furs (on viola) and the return of Pablo Picasso, tracks from the 5 Tracks EP (with the notable exception of Chums of Dumpty) and the new HoboSapiens album.
Notes
Fear was performed as a spoken word piece on the first leg of this tour.
Lament is a poem by Dylan Thomas.
