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.

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.
