Only the hardcore Supperholics in the crowd tonight. Pity, as Super brought cream horns.
I think it was Pete Townshend who once said, after The Who had delivered a great show to a sparse crowd, "we were playing for the people who weren't there."
This is perhaps a tough but crucial step in the evolution of a band; the ability to legitimately make people feel that they may have missed something worthwhile if they don't show up.
This evening's show was a good one. I thought the band recorded some personal bests with some of the tunes, particularly the newish 'Melasoma.'
There was also a pretty good jam thrown in, featuring a smoking walking bass groove by Alvaro Rojas, with some nifty spoken word stuff by Pockets and a woman whose name I don't know. Hobbs was in top casually-killing mode, and WB had a good time for once in his life, though he was careful not to show it.
Then there was a brief but insane three-man horn jam, led by a dapper Fireman.
The evening ended with a kind of made-up-on-the-spot punk tune. Not sure what that was all about.
Anyway, I liked it.
ACM.
