Anyone see Rock Plaza Central? How were they? I heard they'd only be bringing 4 or 5 musicians so the songs probably sounded different. i would've gone, but got free tix to The National show at the last minute.

they only brought 3 people, 2 on electric guitars and one dude switched off between accordion and several different horns, sometimes in the same song. So they were fairly low-key, but anti-climactic after O'Death, who were flailing chains around and pounding on things between more gentle banjo/fiddle interludes.
I liked Rock Plaza Central although it was obvious that there were some significant parts missing from the songs, all 3 of them sang and their voices worked very well together. The horns were nice too but my favorite parts were when they all sang together. Their between song comments were quite funny, a good contrast to the song lyrics, which were generally dark.They did a high lonesome cover of "SexyBack", which I thought was very inspired and funny. I'd see 'em again, would hope for the full ensemble though.

I am still pretty much in awe from this show last night, mostly thanks to Ray Price and Merle Haggard.
