Featured Gig: The Leid Center for Performing Arts - October 26, 2006

Whoa nellie. Seriously. That Lied gig was a blast. What an amazing performance space. From the stage, there were a whole lotta damn people who pretty much seemed to have a blast. At least the standing ovation at the end sure seemed heartfelt.
We tried to pull our best, most symbolic 45-60 minutes worth of songs for the gig. So we chose 2 solos each, 2 group numbers and Side 2 of Abbey Road. Vince opened the show with an piano-driven version of "What Would You Say" that set the tone for the night. It was upbeat and familiar, but we don't do it like the record. It sounds like us. Likewise the next two songs: "Fly Away" and "Synchronicity II." We do a reggae version of the former and retool the later. Our fourth song is more of a straight version of Crosby, Stills and Nash's classic "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes." Because, well, we'd get booed if we messed with that one. We played all four songs in rapid succession and didn't stop until the final refrain of "Doo doo doo do." Which, of course, is a great rock'n'roll ending. And sure enough...the crowd responded with a ravenous ovation.
We saw lots and lots of people we knew. Which was fantastic. It always helps to see friendly faces in the audience. We don't take your support for granted. Everytime we see someone we know in the crowd, there's a sense that we must be doing something pretty well, or you wouldn't come back. Bless you folks for being so good to us.
Krista Niles took served as photo documenteur for the night. As soon as we get some photos, we'll stick them on the site. Check out the full report on the Lied gig page.
