| - | {{:wip.png? | + | Setbreak seems shorter than normal. Maybe the band is tightening up the schedule a little bit in order to avoid overtime charges or curfew penalties? |
| - | Super duper glad to have gotten a seat on the subway after standing and dancing the past few hours. And double plus bonus points for getting one right on top of the A/C vent. Cold air on my legs feels good right now. It might be normal for Chicago, but it seems weird to me how hot it is right now (about 11 PM): 76 F and kind of sticky. | + | _Casey Jones_ seemed |
| + | I was happy to hear the familiar plunk of _Fire on the Mountain_ as the band finished _Days Between_: Oteil singing? I'm happy to hear him do a song or two every night. With _Scarlet Begonias_ as the show opener, I expected that _Fire on the Mountain_ would be the end of the set, with a tag of the _Scarlet Begonias_ reprise to close things out, but that trope was stomped on by another one. What night is it? Well of course, it's _One More Saturday Night_! Woo, time to rock on out a little! | ||
| + | |||
| + | Getting _Touch of Grey_ as a double-encore treat was icing on the cake, and a fun way to end the show on a more upbeat note than the bittersweet vibe of _Brokedown Palace_. Knowing that _Touch_ *had* to be the last song of the night, I decided to stay until the kerosene verse, figuring that would give me just enough time to make it from the pit to the field edge before the show ended. Turned out my guess was pretty good, and I had enough time to hand out a few last NTTH stickers to the folks dancing on the outside edge of the crowd before the show ended. Also saw something kinda funny: a worker disassmbling the crowd barriers with a power drill (during _Touch_), and a small posse of other dudes carrying away the pieces one-by-one. Seems strange that they didn't wait for the show to end, but maybe the idea was to remove further impediments to crowd egress? Whatever the reason, the drilling noise was a *loud* distraction! | ||
| + | |||
| + | As the band bowed and posed for post-show photos onstage, I transitioned from the field to the concourse, and lucked out to be there right when previously locked exit gates were rolled open. Instead of a crowded push through the common space under the bleachers, I had an empty roadway to speed-walk up Sheffield Ave back to Addison for the 50 yards back to the CTA station. Perfect! Into the station, up the stairs, down the platform a few steps and bingo! I step into a waiting train and take an open seat near the door. So far, so good! | ||

One more reason to make my home in cool grey Oakland! | ||
