Mid set Taxi asked if anyone in the crowd was familiar with their first record Easy Beat (I guess they don't consider Toothbrush their first), which I was happy to hear. They played the entire thing as a medley in about 15-20 minutes, and it was awesome. They started it off with Today in its entirety, which is my favorite Dog song. It was absolutely incredible and was so seamless and cohesive. The entire show was high energy, and the guys really, really do put on an amazing show. Only thing that would have made it better would have been hearing 'From' in the set list.
I'm really a stickler about seeing bands that play live shows that sound a lot like the recorded versions of their songs, which is why I think I've loved seeing the Slip, Barr Brothers and etc. The ability to take songs to new grounds is obviously intriguing. But these guys were able to change small things and bring new energy and life to those songs. They're really captivating and I found it impossible not to be smiling and singing along the entire show.
Speaking of Toothbrush, it's been out of stock on their website forever, and I was able to pick it up for $5 at the show
Anyone else get the chance to see them Saturday or Sunday?
