This show was an absolute gem right from the start, what with andrews WWII aviator goggles and all...
the first opening act was interesting, a trio of girls from brooklyn playing keyes and fiddling with samples... it was kind of like stars
meowskers was a treat, i had no idea he had such a great voice
The SLip opened with a rockin jam that turned into a slow eube, which was great...then they moved onto the airplane/primitive song, which is still being toyed with, with marc on strat. This was probably the best airplane/primitive that i've heard, and it was at a slower tempo which allowed for some great drumming... next was an awesome paper birds/landlord, with more inspiring drumming and instrumentation, followed by wine white soda, which i dont usually like... but it was good anyway. I can't really place most of the show chronologically but i know they played shiver, which was beautiful... Then brad mentioned a little place along the road to narrows called "dad's place" and invited mr friedman and mr barr up to play a song (can't think of the name) and mr fridman played drums, while andrew played harmonica and mr barr had a solo...good times. Next came the newer tune "sleepyhead", which was fun, followed by the best poorboy ive heard, followed by even rats. Then (again, i can't really place it chronologically) they played if one of us should fall, highlighted by marc playing the piano in the distance (accompanied by many drunken yells that sort of ruined the moment)
After much applause, the 1st encore was baba o'reily, which rocked, followed by what was probably the biggest treat of the night: moral decay, which ended with brad and marc standing right next to andrew absolutely tearing up the former paper mill we know as narrows. All in all a great performance by all artists, this should quickly turn into a fan favorite
P.S. If im not mistaken there were at least 2 tapers, maybe more... i know i saw clinton taping the slips set and i might've seen jason taping meowskers, im not sure...
