Had a fantastic time last night at NP.  First in person show for us since March of 20 so my measure of quality may be skewed but I thought the show was excellent.  Band sounded great, the second set was fantastic, the band and crowed banter was fun.  Overall a great night!

Looking at last night's setlist: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-new-pornographers/2021/930-club-washington-dc-38b91df.html

I believe they also played Sweet Talk, Sweet Talk?

Felt the same. This was MUCH better than their last show in '19. Band sounded great and the encore was a pure delight.

CAN CONFIRM

highlight for me was a soaring The Bleeding Heart Show...and I don't mind missing the Dylan show.... still buzzing from the epic UMBC show in 2019

How do you know that is even Bob and not just some roadie playing Bob in the dark shadows slowly moving back and forth?

The Hold Steady Friday night in Brooklyn was great. I was up close but not quite in the Craig Finn Large Droplet Zone.TM
New Pornos Saturday night for the Twin Cinema show, and then back over to Brooklyn for The Hold Steady again. Pretty great double-header. Highly recommend.
And if you think I am crazy for the amount of events attended, Vas has me beat by a mile, plus two broadway musicals and a YLT show. But that's his story.

Sierra Ferrell at Union Stage was a delight. Sold out on a Monday night, so not too shabby. I love her old timey sound, and I'm a sucker for any band that combines mandolin/fiddle/acoustic guitar/standup bass. But this was no ordinary string band. Her songwriting stands out, and the band was surely having a ball. It surely didn't hurt that the two women were attractive. I would definitely see her again.

My favorite crowd member was the white rasta guy (dreads down to his knees) with the Amish hat and beard and Jesus sandals. About 10% of the crowd were wearing masks, down from the 90% at New Pornographers last week,.

I bought a t-shirt because I liked to tasteful nude artwork. It was the first time I've seen a "rolling tray" as part of the merch. The fiddle player did double duty and worked the merch table. Someone volunteered to do the nerch for her, and her brilliant reply was "No way, I get paid extra for this."
