## Notes

I thought tonight's show was really good, though as with Thursday, the change of players with every song meant that the overall sound was a trifle disjointed. And while the second set was extra short (hardly more than 40 minutes? Awww, come on now!), it was really quite good. Guess I should be happy that the band was on fire!
