Good show tonight... didn't enjoy it quite as much as yesterday, but still fun.

Encore :
Greasy Jungle
Taxman (beatles cover)
Fireworks


Varied the setlist quite a bit from yesterday... other than a couple of the new songs, the only repeats I picked out were Blow & Bobcaygeon. (why Bobcaygeon?)....

We got Thugs tonight... LTR too.... I'll leave the setlist to someone else.

Looking forward to tomorrow in Albany....

Wasn't today tax day for the States? How fitting. Good to see the band still has a sense of humour.

Cheers,

Pat

For my tastes, that's one of the most desirable set lists I've seen in quite while...man, I can't get over how many good tunes they have and how many of them I want to hear.

Nice to see "Rink" back as the opener, too. "In View" just doesn't seem right there.

Probably because they opened with "In View" the night before. They seem to still be using both frequently.

Bob and I went to the 2 Burlington, VT shows along with our friends Sonny and Dave

I must admit to being a little dissapointed in the numerous repeats. I was especially surprised that they repeated Bobcaygeaon and Blow. I expected the new songs to get repeated. Hopefully we'll get some more changes for the Boston and Hampton Beach shows. Taxman was perfect!!

We went over to the Chinese Restaurant that is attached to Higher Ground for dinner the first night just in time to catch the end of the sound check. We hung out in the foyer of the venue and listened. Met Henry...CottonTech...and he was very nice. No one hassled us. Then, when it was over, we headed to the side of the buidling and got to say hello to the boys as they came out. Bob and Dave got CD's signed. Last night I did get BB to sign my WheatKings shirt but still need Gord S. After Bobby came out, security asked everyone to move on out. We left. Their is always another time and place...we hope!

We got to spend some time with Mark Sloggett which was great. Saw a bunch of people we knew from other Hip Shows.

My friends laughed when I said I wish I could take a taser to the shows with me. Then when people are rude I could just taser them out of the way!! I think Mark would like one too!! ha...
