Second night of a three day run I got to go on with the band. The run as a whole was great for introducing my non-PB-knowing west coast friends to the band. I had been trying to tell them about PB for like 8 months and it took until August for them to actually start paying attention. So now they\'re hooked.
We got a few of our friends to show up for the second and third shows, who didn\'t make the trip to Flagstaff the first night. I think that may have added maybe 6 people to the venue in Tucson. The band told us that they knew that we would be there, but like was quoted before, they really didn\'t think too too many people would show up. We obviously told them that we knew of a number of people who would be showing up and I think that may have made them feel better. It WAS superising though because a bunch of new faces were there and having a great time as we were. I talked with a guy who did a recording of the show and he said that bands usually don\'t sound too good at that bar. But by the middle of the first set he said it was sounding better than any other bands he had seen play there/recorded there. He also gave props to Josh for working so hard to make the sound so good and running the lights. He had never heard any PB before, so I hooked him up with the 2 disc of the last time PB played in Phoenix , 4/2/03.
After seeing three nights of shows we were all very ful-filled. The only repeated set list entry was Phaddy Boom Baddy which was played the first night in Flagstaff, and it was the show closer the third night in Tempe. Unfortunatly, the third night the song was cut short due to the bar was kicking people out for being there past "beer:30" Damn Arizona. You can carry a gun unliscensed 24/7, but you have to buy alcohol before 1am, and have to be out of the bar by 1:30. Still very damn good anyway. We got an acoustic \'Harverst Moon\' first time played ever. Excellent.
At this point this is a paraphrase of a quote from my friend Josh after the Tucson show, "PB is so great because of how personal the shows are."
