Ahh, unfortunately it is only the set list. Although, there is a tuning that doesn't have a song paired to it at the bottom of the piece of paper - F A# F G. Maybe?
For posterity's sake, the set list looks like this:
jump up
run but you ran
shoulder back
hearts of palm
get you back
yesterdays
sound awake
forever
to be the one
Wish I could have been more help.
Jeff, I have what you want. If you ever wanna see it alive again, you MUST PLAY LA!! When you come I'll give it to ya. Fair enough?
fingers crossed, ill bet you just have the set list and not the actual notes...suspence
LETS PARTY!!!!
Jeff,
I actually think I may have it! I grabbed the set list off the stage (I only had Three Sheets at the time, and wanted to get an idea of what records the other songs came from). I noticed the tunings. I'll look when I get home tonight and let you know!
Only kidding: it was a thinly-veiled dig at Jeffs absentmindedness ( as if he isn't hurting enough over this one! ) I'd never take away your derangement of the senses.... Jeff how come it's taken you a year to discover this absence??? And is that damn UK date still in the pipe?? I want to buy you a drink and show you around Brighton for the 7 years of wonderful choons you've given me!!
i just have great weekends:-)
thanks all the same
Mich,
Gawd bless ya for your taste in music but you really need to lay off the sauce: causes gaps in the memory dont ya know.....
while reading back my post i think it's the most funny (=wonderful)thing an artist like Jeff Martin can loose the tuning for one of his greatest songs and ask for help from anyone on a message board... when you think of it it is the weirdest yet kindest thing to happen ever..hope you get it right
Jeff, well i had a few drinks again tonight, not as much as before hehe, and it seems the 'sun' mistery is not solved yet, so i had another go for it. it's a tough one , i have three suns to go on, and i just can't figure the tuning out, i also forgot it should be four strings, anyway I can play along with D# - C# - D# - C# which is probably not it, cause it's a tuning you would not easily forget. I hope you'll post the right tuning on the board once you've found it.

i wish i could..... there is a way i can analyze the guitar track until the tuning begins to reveal itself....no fun.... i believe it was a one off tuning and to add to the mystery, i believe i used a capo (sp).... i may have to ask dan to give it a try ...hes got this uncanny ability to hear a chord and break it down to its individual notes.....
How many different tunings do you use Jeff? You can't remember at least one of the chords, and tune it until it sounds right?
we didnt play that song that night as planned... and the tuning suggestion from drunk michel above has 2 too many candidates. nice try
Ummm....No, that won't help Jeff...but it might do a world of good for me...
Lets talk, maybe our lawyers can work something out!
jeff, i have a mini disc boot leg from the show that night,i recorded it on a digital mic. would that be of help, to hear it?
/i wild guess after a quick lidten, (I'm pretty drunk)
/D#-A#-F-A#-D#-D#
i dont knowe
when we played the knitting factory last year in early november i left the tabliture for the song " the sun is all there is" on stage by accident. it is the only existing copy and i fear i will never be able to figure out what tuning it was in.....boo hoo...if someone has it, i would love to get some info off of it.... just a shot in the dark
