the Mother Hips

• Danny Eisenberg: keyboards;
• John Hofer: drums;
• Greg Loiacono: guitar, lead and harmony vox;
• Brian Rashap: bass.

Forgot my glasses (again), so I didn't try to take very careful notes – too easy to waste time trying to see what I'm doing. Happily, we arrived at the venue properly early, so with a spot in front of Greg on the rail, it was easy enough to copy the hand-written setlist. No deviations tonight!

Seemed like both Tim and Greg picked sweat-lodge costumes tonight. I'm glad I opted for a skeleton bodysuit – not so great in some ways (no pockets!), but at least I stayed cool!

Looks like you can watch video of the show, thanks to the Hips archive!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
