I thought tonight's show was super good. So good that I think I'll be paying for two sets the next time these guys come through. Lot's of interesting interplay, and plenty of things to watch and listen to. Double plus good!

The setlist I wrote during the show didn't seem to match up perfectly against the setlist picture that Ting took. Presumably that's got to be some combination of mis-identification on my part, compounded by some on-the-spot audibles to deviate from the original plan. Hopefully Art or another better-informed person will straighten me out sooner or later!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
