What a show!

This was the only show I attended where the crowd was heading banging. To a man. During the Devil/Good Golly. Truly amazing.

b-day

saw that show on my 17th b-day brent rocked detroit medley. I still remember that show vividly. does anybody know where I can get a recording of that show. bjhester2000@msn.com see u in worcester. B

from start to finish

The Pockey Way was smokin' right outta the gate. The Jack Straw lifted the whole building up. It was the 1st set that I thought would never end. Just when I thought it was over Brent pulled the rug right out from under our feet with Good Golly Miss Molly-->Devil in the Blue Dress. I can still hear his glorious voice and see him rockin' in that bench.
If that wasn't enough the China-->Rider to start the second was one of the best I have ever heard. Playin in the Band!!! The jam was insane.
The Civic Center was a great fucking venue, right up there with Hampton.

Pocky Way???

Anyone know what exactly "Pocky Way" means??? It it a name of a street? Or maybe it doesn't mean anything... just a title that sounds nice. You know those Cajun song titles!!

Additup222 great to have a

Additup222 great to have a birthday show. Seems like you were born almost on 9/10 a minute before midnite. Most likely the show was over but the people were still partying in Providence!!! :o)

Crazy dance party

this show was just an all-out dance party, highlighted by the best Brent performance I ever saw (especially the Blue Dress/Good Golly/Blue Dress in the 1st set). Incredibly fun and energetic, with a really good vibe in the hall, boosted by all the new stuff in the 1st set. Besides that, not such a standout setlist, but such a well-played and energetic show, it ranks in my top 5 of shows I've attended.

This Jack Straw was a monster.
