After JB's email this last week about how the band was going to play their first notes on their summer tour at exactly the time printed on your tickets, I thought it was very cool that he came out and played Old Joe solo. It didn't matter that the rest of the band wasn't ready, he's a man of his word!
I was a bit worried that the first show this summer might be a mess of new songs, with a few "oldies" thrown in for good measure, but, to my pleasant surprise, not one new song! Not that I don't appreciate the new tunes, but... Highlights for me were the amazing Surprise Valley, Wish You Were Here, Pigeons>Second Skin, Space Wrangler and, of course, Walkin'.
Last note: I really love the venue, but hate the fucking Nazi security. Chill out guys, it's only rock 'n' roll!
