Just got tickets for this Saturday. Been jonesing for a show, esp. after deciding to pass on one day tickets to Red Wing. It's 2.5 hours but convinced the wife to make the drive. New venue for us.
It was a good venue but a very small crowd...numbered in the dozens. I think that changed some of the setlist choices---no sing-a-longs last night and no really long jams (no Abilene, Tennesse, or Musics Only Outlaw). It has to be hard to keep the energy up and put out a great effort when you have a crowd like that. There were some big enthusiasts, though.
I did not really keep a setlist, since I knew Pockets was recording, but they played four new songs, all of the Waylon songs, a good bit of the stuff off of the current record.
I really enjoyed I Hate You (since I don't think I'd heard it in quite a while) and the Angel Place that Halo (since it is just a beautiful song).
counted about 30 people, but Blake said he probably could name everyone by first name. New venue 40 miles west of DC. Former Hill Country VP founded the restaurant and brought his sound man Mike with him and some other familiar faces. Hopefully, Yarn will be back. Nice alternative to the DC venues.
Wild set list. Great collection of new, old, and covers.
