Due in part to the amazing room that we played. Wish they could all be like that. The Attucks is a beautiful looking and sounding room. Old school theater, really beautiful. Audience was smallish but fantastically quiet. Made for a great show all the way around. Only drawback to the whole day was amazing bad traffic coming into Norfolk thru the tunnel which I am told is a daily thing and nothing out of the ordinary. We were about an hour late but soundcheck went smooth as silk which translates to QUICK & painless. The promoter, Jason from Quiva Productions commissioned some absolutely gorgeous posters for the event. The are all hand-silkscreened and signed by the artist, Richard Biffle. If you don't know the name, I bet you know the art. He has created art for t-shirts, posters, and album covers for many bands, primarily the Grateful Dead, but also Santana, Blues Traveler, Keller Williams, The Dead, Crosby Stills & Nash, Phil Lesh, Gov't Mule, The Black Crowes, and many more. He has since gained the reputation as one of the prominent rock and roll artists of our era. For more on Biffle, check out his website: http://www.richardbiffle.com Jason had told me that he was commissioning a show specific poster for the gig and I was excited to see the final product. Imagine my excitement when he opened the box and the poster was prodominantly PURPLE. Yes, purple, my fave color. It is a beautiful poster and the ones that were left over from the evening I am told will be available online at some point. When I know where I will let you all know. What I can tell you is that I bought 20 of them that I hope to have TR sign and that I can sell to folks here on the board just in case the extras never make it to the internet. I am told only 150 were made and they are all signed by Richard Biffle. Of the 150, only about 130 will make it out to the public making it a bit of a rarity. Jason said he would send me a jpeg of the poster so I can hopefully post it here so you can all see it. It is really, really NICE! So I am not sure when I can get TR to sign them or when I will have TIMe to mail them out but you can all be assured I have them in my possession. Well it seems like I got off subject a bit, not really I guess but whatever, back to the review and setlist. It was another almost 2 hour performance by TR. I think he really loved the way the room sounded. His setlist looked like this: The Evil Space Nemesis Finally Concedes Defeat To The False Dogs Captain Fuck Fish Ek... Betrayal The Truth Che Noble So & So Indoctrinate Scary Toilet Handle ---------------------------------- Flourescence Ancestors Coco Strom White Mouse Denies Stranger Deaf Squad TV ---------------------------------- Come Back To Now Mr Wizard Chatterblox This Life Brief Bonfire Kundalini Into Very Unusual Discharges ------------------------------------ (Rev) Doom Ocean ------------------------------------- HOLE Side Margin Notes: (Careful With That Axe Man) Also of note, TR did a version of "They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha Ha" tonite. He has done this before, awhile back I think, and he also stuck it in at the last Baltimore Recher show even though it wasn't on the setlist either nite. I think he has been doing the lyrics over the soundscape pieces he creates. Much like "This Is The One", it brings much amusement to TR, Rew and myself when TR performs either of these. Thanx to Jesse Chong for another amazing set as our opener. You guys should really check him out if you haven't already. He really set the amazing mood & atmosphere for the evening. Special Thanx to Jason for being so wonderful and always taking extremely good care of us. Also to Jason and Richard for the amazing posters, a TRue work of art. And to Mario for manning the merch booth, it was great hanging with ya. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
