314 -- Laughing Colors -- Wednesday, February 26, 2025 -- The Recher -- Towson, MD

--- “Wouldn’t it be great if we could all come together?” Clearly not an accident to start with that!

--- I call Led Zeppelin before “Kashmir” starts! “I feel nothing, nothing, nothing.” Untrue.

--- “Clear Blue”: and NOW the show has started. Wild how one song can do it!!

--- No more oppressive long pants. I’m officially in shorts. YESSS.

--- “Solution” takes it to another level!!!! The rhythm, solo, and relevance take it there. “There’s a lot of b.s. out there.” Is there any? Have you seen any? Garrett has…

--- Heh, “we bring out our kids and grandkids to stunt their growth.” Not a problem for Thomas…

--- Aww, “this is one my favorites” from Craig at the start of “Shadow Child.” Same now goes for me about Craig.

--- Text from Tom: “Angie! We miss you at Laughing Colors, playing “Roll Into The Light” now, thinking of you.”

--- Hahaha at “Anti Social” being a ‘new’ song. You know you’re cool when you can snicker at it being new. Kevyn: “You know you’re cool when it was one he played in your backyard.” The song itself: unexpected boom!!!!! Simple can work. Menace susTAINED. A strange song for me and Hark to play on our bodies, but it worked.

--- “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon slayed as well.

--- Aww, “Cyrus Column,” my running song.

--- The day this will all make “Sense” me is TODAY. Tom’s mid song high five to me clinches it.  A minute later, Craig – and then Hark.

--- Me, at the pounding dark green: “Man, it doesn’t let up.” Craig: “no.”

--- The audience’s response to “party check” is way different now: heavy!!!!!

--- “Turn” continued the greatness. “Hang Fire” by The Rolling Stones crushed EVERYTHING!!!!! Number one for sure. My tongue kept circling, another Tom-initiated-high five, and two involuntary wails. 

--- “Now and Then” and ~”save yourself”: vrrrrroooomm!!! (Bonus points for the speed reversals.)

--- Heh, Katie taps me when I roar “Virginia.”

--- Heh, crowd participation song. Not Lee Greenwood or “Kumbaya.” It’s “Mushroom.”

--- Hahaha: “We’re not leaving. Fine, if you just want one more song. We haven’t seen you in 18 months, but that’s fine.”

--- “Big One Small One”: gotta call Nick Oben to shu-shu-shut his mouth!!!

--- The frontman from Kelly Blue Band has PRESENCE. Great reintroduction leading into the encore.

--- The dark during “American Boy” soars.

--- “I can see the walls are coming down.” I can’t, as I’m dizzy and seeing stars. Garrett and Thomas agree!!!!

Grade: A
