Special notes on these songs:
Forty or Fifty (way too many people ran for beer/bathroom when this started, I was not pleased but Erik being on fire for this one made up for it!)
Refrigerator Car (special notice for Erik and Mark on this!)
More Than She Knows (may be the first time I have ever seen them play this and it was super fast and sounded great, plus the funny story about Jason Richardson calling out for it in the old days)
Off My Line (ERIK!)
How Could You Want Him (Erik was in fine form and the legendary Erik Lawrence on saxophone)
Shinbone Alley (wow, Erik again, plus Aaron and Mark (still an amazing bassist) want back and forth with awesome drum and bass solos and Aaron even pulled out the mallets!)
Hard to Exist (this was favorite performance from the album, long, jammy and made me feel good)
'Bout a Train (seriously, YAY)
The Drop (first time I have ever seen it played live, sounded great)
Hungry Hamed's (sounded great and the one nod to Turn It Upside Down!)
Lady Kerosene (WOW, fast, LOUD and great)
In between sets, the band posed (w/Jason Richardson, David Sonenberg and at least one other person, I think) to celebrate 5 million copies sold of Pocket Full Of Kryptonite. Also, Mark waved the record frame at the crowd and let a few people upfront touch it.
After the show, we (everybody still standing) and Spins hung out in the Ballroom, down the stairs, at the merchandise table and in the ground floor bar. At one point, Mark asked if he could grab a chair I was leaning on. I didn't bug them as they were definitely catching up with old and new friends. And the love for Erik Lawrence was very clear, especially from Chris. By the way, these guys are all still super nice and approachable. They all signed, took pictures and hung out with everybody.
