## Notes

What a fun opening set! Except for the folks yacking over the music, I'd say it was just about perfect. I was really happy to see (and hear!) Barry Sless mid set, but the final tune with the full band didn't work so well for me -- not enough different from Moonalice perhaps? Anyways, I'm happy to be here, and ready to rock some more when DNB comes out for the main event!

I was also happy that the two sets of DNB that follows as tonight's main course included a lot of tunes that I wasn't particularly familiar with. In this case, surprise is a good thing, though it also means that my initial attempt at a setlist is bound to be riddled with errors and malapropisms. I'm sure I would have appreciated hearing some of the old favorites too, but having decided earlier to limit my attendance to a single night of these three, I'm pretty happy with what I got!

You can watch or listen to an archived stream of the Doobie Decibel System from the [Moonalice website](www.moonalice.com/tour/2014-11-09/doobie-decibel-system-terrapin-crossroads) -- thanks Roger! And hopefully the DNB portion of the show will surface at a later date, since it was webcast by [RadioDNB](http://mixlr.com/93redbridgedan/). Big thanks to Joe Sutton for posting tonight’s setlist in the RadioDNB chat stream!
