OK, the setlist might look good, but this was an off night for the band.  Garcian and Atrraction were the only seriously developed jams.  Everything else lacked a sense of purpose.  There were several uncharacteristically forced segues, particularly Mayfly>Phaddy.  There was a lack of overall energy too.  Not that there was no energy, but less than normal.  It started with Adrian, who was very sick, and only playing at about 75%.  He only played 43,789 notes, or about 4.8 notes per second, way down from his average of 6.13 notes per second, and no drum solo.  The crowd looked real good at first.  Good number, people were into it, same setup as Butterfield.  But the end crowd was only about 50-60% of the start crowd.  There was mad thinout, hard to see why.  Too bad, because it looked real good at first with the very nice opening jam and good crowd.  Get \'em next time.

Note count: 149,717  (Tim 39,377, Adrian 43,789, Jordan 38,601, Ron 27,950)

Thanx, Wolf. That is what I needed. A truthful description of the feel of the show. I realize this is only your opinion but sometimes a band is on and sometimes not. I have 13 shows on disc which rip and I have seen 4 shows all 4 were incredible.  Lucky me. Of course PB will have an off nite here and there and as much as they play, I am surprised it is not more often. What\'s up w/ note counting ? How the hell do you do that accurately?

[Wolfman]

You just have to listen and have a brain that can work really fast.  The best way I have found to visually display to people how fast my brain can work is by having them watch me play Tetris.  If you ever see me play Tetris, you\'ll have no doubt that I can count notes.

OK I guess the wolf in you is Arctic Russian huh?

[freddiewaht]

good point wolfy.maybe not necessarily a ser show but its good to still be able to go to shows and see them play.honestly i think the best show of the weekend was in boston.the best scene was in gloversville.musically in boston they took every song to the absolute limit.questionable setlist decisions but some intense jams.last night had alot of potential and hopefully next time is even better.150 people isnt that bad though.

[dogpatch]
