zz top?!?

Sweetcell: Thanks for the heads up, I figured that the standards were the same but wasn't sure about some of the B-list songs scattered throughout the set (just so happens that "Party on the Patio" is one of my favorites B-list or not HAHA so I was psyched to hear it).  Sounds like I did OK by picking the night with the smaller crowd.

God, that was a blast. :) No complaints at all about the set list - the only track they skipped that I wouldn't have minded hearing was "Heard it on the X," but they more than made up for it with the rest of the set.  The crowd was pretty amusing.  It's not like we're old, but the spouse and I are getting to the point where older than the average punter at most 9:30 shows, so it's kind of weird to go to a show where we're vastly younger than average.

you really couldn't go wrong either way, both shows were excellent.  there was a little more space last night, vs. a slightly more energetic crowd on sunday - but not a huge difference.  above all, the band was on fire both nights and that's what really counted.

billy gibbons belongs in the pantheon of rock guitarist.  at the peak of their popularity their synth sounds over-shadowed the guitar work, but seeing them live really puts the six-string back in the spotlight.  speaking of synths, there were a few songs that they played to tape but the backing parts were way back in the mix - it was a very subtle effect, instead of wondering where all the extra chords and percussions came from.  tasteful.

have i mentioned what great staph the club has?  do you hear me, management?

i'm missing a few songs in there, and don't blame me if i'm remembering something wrong… t'was 2 somewhat drunken nights :)

i would have liked to hear "sleeping bag", but certainly can't complain.

I can't believe they didn't play TV Dinner..  I can't believe they had a song called TV Dinner..

Saw that person on Sunday getting carried out at the end in the headlock, not sure what that was all about.

Great show, lots of fun..

dude, they have a song called "pearl necklace" - after that, everything is fair game :D

I'll echo the greatest staff ever sentiments.


I was looking forward to catching at least one of these shows but whatever this bug is that I caught has kept me from doing much of anything the last few days. :(
