Great rockin' show. Great recording. Very interesting setlist. EC is doing a short tour to promote the reissue of his first 10 albums on Universal and the setlist drew mostly from that. Many songs EC has not played or rarely played in years. Almost no EC banter. Just music. Check out bassist Davey Faragher's backing vocals. He does a great job filling in the multi-tracked layers that EC provided on the original recordings.

Spent a lot of time lowering spiky claps from the crowd. Nothing I could do about the horrible singing on a few songs. There were couple of screamers around me (one really close), but they mainly kept their zeal to between songs. Enjoy.

Take care!

Sounds great. The delirium near the taper that greets each unexpected song is wonderful! Genuibe disbelief as Strict Time kicks off, etc. American Gangster Time is a bit Elvis by numbers on a first listen. OK, nothing new. Good recording, as stated.
