Best
Buquebus
EVER??

:sadban:

i\'m having a difficult time not being resentful about the fact that no one thought to call me and tell me it\'d be jordan\'s last show.  i\'d have dropped everything.  regardless, this looks like it was a great show.

i\'m not that bent out of shape.  resentful was the wrong word, disappointed is more like it.  i\'ve just been super busy and havent had time to check in here, no hard feelings, i\'m over it.

i was a little surprised at the number of people i expected to see (jim etc) but didn\'t.  probably because a lot of people take vacation the week of july and didn\'t manage to work that into the plans, and/or were without internet access.  i might not have made the drive either except that i was told it was only an hour and 1/2 .  well ... 3.5hrs and $142 later (gas + tolls) ... im still glad.
the venue was super different and worth seeing in and of itself.  more like 1/2 building 1/2 festivally.  i guess you\'d have to call it an outdoor venue what with the gravel floor and glass-free windows, door-free doorways, no real stage, etc.  the amish people riding thru town in horse-drawn carriage definitely added nuance to the whole experience.  while the sound might have been nothing to write home about, the setlist made up for in my mind (sorry frustrated tapers;) ).  highlight for me was bugs>karnevil 9 no real critical reason why just a very high point of the night and hanging out with a couple locals who\'d never heard the band, with everyone smiling and loving it.

Buquebus - has an steve miller abracadabra tease. I knew i heard it at the show but was just confirmed by the recording

I\'d love to hear this Buquebus again, quite a gem, if you ask me.

Best one IMO
