Right on, JY!  It's only fitting that you, of all people, get to enjoy an intimate show of less that 1,000 people.  Enjoy!  :thumbsup:

Glad it's you.  Can't wait to hear about it...
Give me a butt load of reverb on this one - just pile it on.

I almost left without this.  The great Ryan Pickett held off all comers until I convinced security to let me back in to get this.  What a night!  More later; sleep now.

Hey John,  sounds like a fantastic evening for you last night!   :beer:

How was the turnout?  Was it a packed house? 

Looks like they packed a lot in that set-list for an hour long show!  :thumbsup:

And how was Craig Finn? 

I also want to say, I think Ohio needs a show like this.  I mean, we are a key battleground state that could turn the tide of the election!   :tongue:   :beer:   :thumbsup:

Really great set list - a little bit of everything.  Would have liked to see Changing World...   Look forward to hearing about it.

Nice curveball by throwing in "The Right Place"! I'd LOVE if some MoF songs started making their way back into sets. A little "Losin Yo Head" in Port Chester anyone???

Another great night in New Hampshire. The Colonial is a beautiful theater with fantastic sound. The performance was intimate and so full, considering it was just the two of them. Nice choice of material, particularly the Monsters of Folk tune they got in there and their stripped down acoustic take on Day Is Coming.

The Colonial has a capacity of just under 1000, and a free show too, so I was expecting a fuller house, but the balcony was empty except for a handful of people and there was plenty of room downstairs too. It was easy to get close seats if you wanted them.

The politics of the evening was minimal. State Senator Molly Kelly was on hand and gave a rousing talk; student organizers spoke a bit about the importance of young people voting, esp in swing-state NH; and James' brief comments about ending division and moving forward were general but impassioned.

Craig Finn. Ughh. I thought it was a terrible performance of dark, indulgent, self-pitying, jesus-filled ideas put to notes. I'd hardly call them songs. He created a heavy, leaden mood to open the night...and I like the Hold Steady.
