Great energy in the set openers. So ready to let the good times roll! Big eighties drum sounds at end of MAW. I love the raw energy of Passenger- as raw as outside last night at 9 degrees!! Memphis Blues and Tom Thumb a little muffled, probably the sound where I was standing. High Time was devastatingly beautiful. I took a long soak in that one and then enjoyed bouncing to Loose Lucy. GSET allowed Lisa to warm up those vocals, though not evident at the time, as it was delightful in and of itself. Per usual, Lisa slayed . Hurts Me Too stayed with me- the harmonica and Jeff’s guitar were the slinkiest. That one stayed with me.
Funny to have two Dylan tunes first set as we talked of his appearance in the Good, Bad Ugly at dinner.
After Deal, I hit the bar to enjoy the warmth of the atmosphere and my drink😜, commandeering a nice spot on the couches. Nice venue built @ 1921. Concrete floors demand cork insoles. I’ll be wearing those tonight.
I don’t understand why people go see live music to have a full on conversation for all to hear while the music plays.
Fun time! Palpable appreciation of piano solo and guitar that followed in Death Don’t. The Caution pulled up short abruptly and dove into Casey Jones. That was superb. Lots of room to let go after space on the floor.
