They still got it!
by MarkUltra on 2/1/11Webster Hall - New YorkAn amazing show! When I was 19 The D-Plan was my favorite band on earth. I saw them blow Weezer off the stage opening for them in 1994. I saw them a million times when I was going to Mary Washington College (where two of them went) and in DC in the 90s. I was shocked years later when I was going to grad school in New Orleans and they were touring- and came their twice. More and more people seemed to know about them. Now in 2011 they just sold out a major NYC venue, two days in a row- and everybody knew all the words! It was really incredible. They went all they way back to their "!" album for a few choice tracks, but most people seemed more familiar with "Emergency and I." However, everyone knew "Ice of Boston." I forgot how much I loved those fret-less bass lines, I forgot how freaking incredible the drummer is. Poor guitarist was sick (after not touring for 9 years and then only playing 10 gigs, can you imagine?!). Because of that and the fact that there was a dance party starting at midnight the band could only play until 10:45, but they started before 9! They played lots of songs. Every body loved it. Lots of jocking around between songs- I'm glad the band wasn't tense. Way to be band, guys.
