My first full band electric Rock Show since March 2018, unbelievably. Even pre-pandemic, the tour dates just didn't match up with my schedule. I'd seen just about every other iteration of the band since - full band acoustic, PH and Cooley both solo, and Dimmer Twins 3x. It was good to be back.

I arrived around 7:15pm (doors 7pm) and was easily able to get a spot on the rail. It appeared (when I went online a couple days before) that most of the balcony seats were sold, but the GA pit did not feel crowded. There were some younger fans right behind me, noticeable in the second half of the night. They were very enthusiastic, particularly for Ghost To Most and, perhaps too enthusiastic, almost uncomfortably so, for KKK Took My Baby Away. The band played for an hour and 53 minutes. No encore break, or at least not the walk-off-and-walk-back-on kind.

I was surpised to not hear Zip City, but I was told it is in and out of the setlist lately. A few days before the show, I was reading here about Goode's Field Road, and I really want to know the story behind that song. It's not a big sing-along rocker, or a heavy cut like Space City, but the lyrics are very intriguing. So it was cool to hear it this night.

The show sounded great from the rail, thanks to the audience-facing stage monitors that every venue should have but they don't always have. I've seen one or two shows here before and the venue sounded good then too. I forgotten that it was pretty small, compared to say the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY. Same kind of interior layout, but much shorter GA pit from stage to back.

The merch looked good. I got a slipmat and a patch. The poster was great but I have so many posters in storage that will never get displayed that I can't bring myself to part with 40 bucks for things like that anymore. Especially as it is a smaller-sized poster. The new cat t-shirt is cool, but I wish it was a full cat design like on the stage backdrops, not just the cat face. I may buy something the next time they come by. See you all at Brooklyn Bowl!
