Live at the Barfly - May 22, 2001

It's hard to believe that just 7 years ago, Chap Roz played their first live gig at the Barfly in Liverpool. This was during the recording of 7 Deadly Sinz. I asked Sid if any mementos of that event remained, and boy did we hit the jackpot.

Sid still had the original set list (below) from the show. In addition to featuring most of the songs that would eventually make Sinz, they also played Chap's only single to date: "Bring Back Paul Williams."

Of particular note is the inclusion of a keyboard solo by Stanley Keys. As most of you already know, Keys played on the Sinz studio tracks, and didn't officially join the band on until after the 2002 Hawaiian tour. This is confirmation that Keys played with the band live while working out the Sinz tracks. Sid also noted that this was Keys only concert solo - apparently his bit went on for about as long as the rest of the gig, which didn't sit well with Chap.

Unfortunately, only a few photos remain of that night. I've included them for their historical significance.

I can only imagine how cool it must have been to be at the Barfly that night - an eyewitness to history.
