The drums give “Only The Wild Ones” good energy. LOL, they take out the verse that references
Charlie Rose!!!
Apparently it’s the last show of the tour – lucky us.
“Curse + Crush”: strong song made subpar by the random band
chatter mid song. It was supposed to be
funny, but it feeds the off-task monsters around me. (Kevin excluded off course.)
“Painted Yellow Lines”: the “uhuhuh”s pick it up at the end.
“Skin The Rabbit”: Wooo at the song and, more importantly,
the guy behind me who says “wooo”!!!
Yay, Kevyn moves closer to the front on his own.
“Midnight Lorry”: decent funk and a cool space section.
“Begin Again”: dedicated to Pete Francis, their opener who’s
bravely battling depression.
“Rice Water”!!
Unexpected aggression. Nice.
“Windylike”: meh.
Salvaged by one drum gust near the end.
“Ghost Town”: didn’t know it was about heroin — interesting,
especially since it’s upbeat.
“Atticus Cobain”: memorable title, forgettable tune.
Kevyn asks if I want to move down. Yes!!
SET TWO
“Bound By Love”: love the meaningful call-and-response and
the shades of Coco! Somehow I totally missed it previously.
“The General”: visions of Tom Swindell come to mind —
immediately.
“Josephine”: underrated — so smooth!!
Heh, Kevyn finds a snug railing spot — good for him.
“Flag”: Barely know it.
I should. It’s dark, strong, and
has so many shades of Coco. Best of the night!!!
“Steeples”: They add a whole new “woo” element. It bring me back to the dirt hills of Oaxaca
in 2006!!!
“Fallin’” back to Earth.
Wow, someone’s been carrying a five-year-old on their
shoulders for four shows.
Yay that they lied — “Passerby” is not their last song! The lie helped though — now I’m all in for
“Elias.” I’m ready to recall the hills I
rocketed down on my bike at William and Mary!
“Thanks for giving us a home away from home Baltimore. You caught us off guard. We’ve raised over $9,000 tonight.”
“Dear Congress.”
Whoa. Chills. !!!!
The fact that all four of them are gun owners makes the gun-control
message resonate even more.
After all the acoustic, “Flying Horses” and “Elias” SLAY. What a second set comeback!
Grade: A-
