Good show… The audience was moving and grooving for the English Beat for the entire 100 minute set. Dave Wakeling did the show without a setlist and there was lots of interaction with the audience. Dave's still got a great voice, but it was like seeing General Public doing English Beat songs, there was something missing beside Ranking Roger.

If you like "Runaway Train" then Soul Asylum didn't disappoint, a raucous hit filled 50 minute set, almost as if they are warming up for radio festival season…

nice one Kosmo

Yea, very nice with the Irish theme. Went deep on the U2.

i had wanted to reach back to an early U2 b-side but they are all trapped on vinyl… picked October over Boy because it's get less attention…

i heard this song twice on the radio while driving home after seeing mogwai a couple weeks ago.

i drove out to the lexington KY show, which is approximately 500 miles from where i lived.. then drove 500 miles home. (well, i went to the charlottesville show on the way home)

Thanks!

Kelly, the tall rhythmic whirling dervish at stage left…

thanks for the enthusiastic response, guess i'll be needing that area next to the DJ booth for my groupies after all :D

I do believe this was the most enthusiastic response i ever got for a dj setlist…
