Without coming over too much like my compatriots Boner and Bob Geldof, it is good to give soemthingback and one of the greatest things about Faith No More is that they make an effort find out and get to know the places to visit.
Most via Bill on Twitter, here is some info on their SWU Festival experience.
Learn about KCAL [who shared the stage with FNM at the festival], the self-confessed “book trafficker.”
And here is more info on the the Coral da Gente (at the Instituto Baccarelli), who provided vocals on Just a Man.

Just a Man with Coral da Gente and Faith No More
And not forgetting the SWU itself – which encourages sustainability
And why not watch the whole SWU show back again, courtesy of the inestimable Holy Filament

TBrando-Good catch….there’s been a lot of random yelling onstage….I can’t remember which song break it was, but Roddy was saying something, and Patton yelled “Play the song! We’re doing fucking Vegas shit up here, man!”
I just noticed something very funny when re watching the show for the third time here – http://coslive.tumblr.com/post/12838968619/video-of-faith-no-mores-entire-performance-at
In between Gentle Art and King For A Day as Mike is returning to the stage, someone (Jon?) asks “King or Spirit?”, and Patton screams “KING! Fuck Spirit!”. I guess that is how Spirit got cut out of the setlist. More precisely, this happens at 45:50 of the link I posted above.
@Grant…I totally second that emotion! Its been a bit of a whirlwind with so much stuff all of a sudden.
Heres hoping that we now hear plenty more about ‘the mystery song’. Having listened to it again at SWU and with good headphones…and hoping that its not my pure FNM love clouding my judgement…the hair on my arms was standing on end…the the mystery song is simply fucking EPIC.
My god I’d love this to be a single…we shall all, I guess be watching this space with bated breath.
This show is up on Dimeadozen torrent site.
Thank you for your words, Grant. I agree totally. Thank you everyone.
Once again, as this segment of the Reunion wraps up…a big thanks goes out to our friendly neighborhood Admin for maintaining the blog (even during band downtime) to the guys in Faith No More for being in touch with their fans without the bullshit go-betweens of publicists and what-not, and to everyone else in the FNM 2.0 fan community…thank you for the videos, for the links to videos, for the links to streaming concerts, for setlists that are posted mere minutes after the gig ends, for the camaraderie, for obsessing over song lyrics and the origin of the Mystery Song as much as I was…
As always, I had a blast, and even though I wasn’t there for this run (I was lucky enough to catch one of the NYC gigs) I was able to live vicariously through the many people that were…
THANKS EVERYONE!!!
Really enjoyed watching the Kcal piece. Thanks for posting that.
The spontaneous Chuck Mangione cover (at about 27:15) is inspired, old-school FNM.
I would replace Roddy’s keyboard during Woodpeckers by something else… Sorry if I offend some of you but to me it sounds so…80’s!
Anyone knows what is about Kcal’s talk during KFAD?
Thanks- like the KFAD one
A friend who was there scored me some new merch – http://screencast.com/t/ufpxlICT
Man, it’s not a real choir without the brothers and sistas, ha ha. Can’t wait for a US tour – unless their set list will once again be full of KFAD songs… kidding, I’ll go to any of their shows.
They just posted some more pictures here on Flickr. looks like it was only Roddy, Billy and Mike that visited.
