## Notes

Sadly, I wasn't up to the task of keeping track of the setlist for Deep Sea Diver. As we were still walking in to our seats when their set started, I made no attempt. Did I like 'em? Yeah! Jessica Dobson can wail on the guitar, and I really enjoyed it when the band got 'out there' on a few of the less pop-py tunes.

Props to the PJ fans who had the setlist ready for me to review this morning ... it mostly matched up to my crappy notes! It's always a hoot to see how badly I've mangled the lyrics when trying to jot something down that can help match my timing info the actual song titles later on.

While frightfully expensive, tonight's show was pretty darn fun, and I'm glad that my buddy Garth rallied us to go! My memory -- no longer trustworthy! -- is that I'd seen them a few times over the past few decades, but this seems to be the only page in my wiki right now. Yet another reminder that my record for the 1990's is entirely absent right now: someday baby!
