Ugh... Long day. Got home at 6:15 this morning. Holy shit.
Yeah the girls got old. Entertaining at first... but then when one is in between Ron and his mic stand so he can\'t get at it it is pretty annyoing. One song... cool. When you start interfering with the band... not cool.
Great to see everyone... Seemed like everyone was having a blast. I was in serious recovery mode. Too much beer/wine/vodka/Jager on Thanksgiving. I was happy for the seats, that\'s for sure. I really liked the venue: intimate and very relaxed. It sounded great, the lights were good, I would love to go there again. Looking at some of the names on the wall, I couldn\'t help to think what it would be like seeing Pat Metheny or Al DiMiola there. They definitely book some good names.
Great show. First set was fun; Tunage is a monster. Have to love that song. I\'m kind of sick of Honeybutter. I was actually happy to hear IG because it has been so long. It really is a solid song, just got overplayed. Second set was pretty scorching... I have to agree with Chris about the WTF> TGSOT > Question... I was thinking the whole time how a show like this really disproves the "every TGSOT is the same" theory. Don\'t think I have ever heard such an interesting DMB, but I could be wrong. I still hate Vermont Song.
Dave, those two you were talking to who saw the band for the first time and loved them were the guys sitting to my left. Serious jerks. I\'m glad they liked the band and I hope they come back for more, but I really could have done without their snide remarks about all of the people up and dancing and having a good time. Not to mention the throwing shit at Mark with the "hey asshole down in front" comments. I mean, there was no shortage of open seats, and no one was making them stay there. They could have moved instead of being bitchy about other people having fun. Bleh. Also the guy/girl shouting a conversation for half the show right behind Mike\'s mics. Double bleh.
Thanks for the heads up on the diner Drew. We made it. Good times. Our waitress hated us I think.
I don\'t even know what to say about Rock Band. I think my ears are still ringing. :lol:
Thanks Paul for the ride from and back to Meriden.
Also... my favorite quote of the night may have been someone shouting, when they came back on stage for the encore, "Play Question again!"
That or something about a rotunda
