Ghosts of Electricity

• Stu Allen: guitar, vox;
• Greg Anton: drums;
• Mark Karan: guitar, vox;
• Pat Nevins: acoustic guitar, harmonica, vox;
• Mookie Siegel: keyboards, vox;
• Robin Sylvester: bass.

Well the Ghosts put on a fine show, even if the turnout was a little sparse, and rewarded us with more than a few lesser-known gems in addition to a couple of chestnuts. It was surprising to me that the “regular” rotation of singing (from Stu to Mark to Pat) was followed almost slavishly, deviating only at the end of each set. And while I appreciated the abundance of rarer tunes, I wonder if that unfamiliarity (and a less than killer delivery) sent more than a few old hippies home early. It sure seemed like we lost half the house over the break. Ah well, their loss!

Jon Hart ran multitrack, yay! Hopefully he'll have the gig up on the archive sometime soon. You can give a listen yourself by heading over to the Live Music Archive.
