Great show, too tired to write too much about it. Brad also sat in late night at the Boom Boom room with Big Light, Lebo, members of New Mastersounds and Robert walter they were still rockin' when we left almost at 5AM.

what a great way to bring in the new year! The Slip sounded a lot more confident on the 31st - that first set was just killer! Great seeing a lot of old friends

are we gunna get to hear this show too harry?

[harrymcq]

Yes! I'll try to get something up today. Didn't have the late night mixing in me last night after partying late... Just my onstage/ceiling mix. Bob ran his 24 track as well but the multitracks will take a while to mix and we'd have to clear that with the band. I also took a little video of the landing > nye jam (just handheld - I tried running my camera on a tripod the night before and though I got the better part of the show the vibration makes it pretty much unwatchable IMO.

Good hangin with ya lumpy, loved your big glasses. Sorry I didn't say goodbye, busy taking down my gear! Hope to see ya soon.

Show was really fantastic. Very tight, stuff with the horns was great. Friedman was on FIRE! Everyone was really. Great crowd, tons of friends.... They seem pretty passionate about the new material, gives me hope for the future of the slip.

Simply put, this show was outstanding.

Thank you gentleman and the two guests for a real, real good time.

Great to boogie with Meowskers as well.

Been sitting and waiting in airports, gotta go to sleep.
