Performers

Notes

Although it was a bit slow to get going, tonight's musical party was great fun. It was confusing as heck the way they swapped players on pretty much every tune, and it's quite likely that I've made a few mistakes, but hey, it's tough to keep track all night without a lapse – I'm just doing my best!

I was happily surprised to notice Phil's bass rig onstage when we walked in as he hadn't been listed as a performer for this gig. And while he only played on two tunes, I'm happy for that! It was especially fun hearing his take on Jack Cassady's lines from Somebody to Love – lead bass! I love it!

I thought it would be interesting to work up some setlist stats according to best known performer and composition date. Whaddaya think? (Note that you can change the sort order by clicking any of the table headings)
