## Notes

A top notch evening from Gregory Porter and his crack band! The audience took a while longer than the band to get warmed up, but by midway through the show, they were shouting requests at every break. Based on Gregory's comments, my guess is that a few of the latter tunes were selected in response to that input. Interesting!

I probably missed a few ID's from the _Musical Genocide_ medley ... sometimes the riffs only lasted a few seconds before transmuting into something different: not quite long enough for me to summon anything to write!

No pictures tonight, since Ting didn't attend, and like an idiot, I forgot to grab the camera. Oh well!
