no i want you back. i could cry. but lets go on.
so this is rather surreal - there was an opener - something like the elms opening. or so it was. and then instead the gurus came out and played 5 songs. and they said - ok that's it for the show. and everyone was confused. then they said - ok thats the early crowd's show. i recall 'good times' (if thats the name of it?), being played. but now that i think of that name, i am sure thats not what its called. ok maybe someone knows of a song that has that line?
so that was the beginning. at 9pm prompt they came on. and around 6, that is when it became 'audience request time'. i guess they always play bb kings, so its a reunion to be back here. anyway - so after 'come anytime' - there were a bunch of shoutouts - and 2 songs later they went back to the set. so im sure this isnt entirely correct.
and btw - for anyone interested. they are playing maxwells on sunday night.
all in all great show. lots of great songs and they truly had a great time. the bassist kept smiling at me, so it made my night. and the sound was not so good. if i didnt know 'come anytime' - i swear id have not recognized it. oh and they ended with a friend of theirs coming up and playing a song they rehearsed (apparently incorrectly)
(lets all) turn on

death-defying (apparently dave's fav song that he ever wrote).
