Please consider a Kickstarter campaign next time you make a record or tour. I would be thrilled to sponsor a day on the road and I think there are many others who would be willing to help out in the same way. Give us a chance to help out in a tangible way....please!Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436498464039174146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438233264333435764.post-8262423554005772172014-07-25T14:11:19.584-07:002014-07-25T14:11:19.584-07:00The Green Lantern set seemed like something far mo...The Green Lantern set seemed like something far more powerful to me than "perfunctory," Mark. We've seen the band 12 times or so, and this was one of the best. But I say that every time. The new amps and Lisa's new Les Paul made it, sonically, the best show, to me at least. A professional kind of presence (and that's a compliment). One thing that really stood out for me this time was how integral John and his pedal steel (and his guitar) have become to the band's sound. I have never trusted any band with more that four players (with obvious exceptions), but you have become one of my newest exceptions. You all have such a tremendous back-catalog now that it's impossible to hear all my favorites at your shows, but Attica is so great that I am glad you hit the new stuff so hard. We saw the record release show at Northside and it was interesting to see what you were still playing and not playing at the end of the tour. Wow! I keep waiting for the wheels to come off--I'm a pessimistic dude according to my kids--and the band just keeps getting better. Mayhap at this rate I will at your next show "evaporate into a state of ecstasy" as old Spaulding Gray said. Laynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655743312788338304noreply@blogger.com
