 Good show... The audience was moving and grooving for the English Beat for the entire 100 minute set.  Dave Wakeling did the show without a setlist and there was lots of interaction with the audience.  Dave's still got a great voice, but it was like seeing General Public doing English Beat songs, there was something missing beside Ranking Roger.
 
 If you like "Runaway Train" then Soul Asylum didn't disappoint, a raucous hit filled 50 minute set, almost as if they are warming up for radio festival season...

Yea, very nice with the Irish theme.  Went deep on the U2.

i had wanted to reach back to an early U2 b-side but they are all trapped on vinyl... picked October over Boy because it's get less attention...
