UR turned to me a few songs in & said it's backwards day. They're playing the encore songs first!
Jay was just smoking last night, he absolutely killed it!
Matt was up in the mix (to my ears) & he had a rocking bass line on Shut Up.
Of course, Patterson, Cooley & EZB were nailing it too.
It was fun being at an all ages show. There were 2 kids on the rail & I had fun watching them soaking it all in.
Congrats, Bill in CT! Last night was show 150 for him, & what a show it was!

Re: Detroit 11/1/13
I thought they seemed a bit flat last night and the show felt routine and uninspired for the most part, despite what I would consider a really strong set list. I agree that Jay was on fire, but Cooley and Patterson seemed a little distant with each other and tired in general. We thought maybe it was a post-Halloween come-down or something. Sound wasn't great, and never is at that venue. After their last Detroit show at St. Andrews (one of the best of the 15+ times I've seen them) I was really looking forward to it, but it just didn't measure up IMO. Hope they get back into the city next time around!
On the other hand, I was never really able to latch on to Old 97s in their heyday, but I thought they came out blazing last night and I'm planning to revisit their catalog. Sound was shit for them too, and they played a bit long for a support slot, but they were great.

Adavici, that is a perfect synopsis of the show last night. Nothing felt right about it.
It was a good setlist and was enjoyable, but it was an average show a best. I do hope they plan to go back to Detroit.

Perhaps the doc can explain the anatomy/biology here, 'cause i'm not following. I've heard of miracle knees, but seriously...

Re: Detroit 11/1/13
Totally agree that the sound was not up to snuff. Hopefully they'll be back at St. Andrews for their next stop in Michigan.
That said, the setlist was great - they played four songs I'd never heard before and it was awesome having so many 3DD-ers in my home state.
