Went pretty well and was a lot of fun. Stage so tight we couldn't move though. Sound was awesome and by the third set there was a half decent crowd and a number of people dancing. We had a couple small trainwrecks, but nothing major. The band is well liked by the bar owner there, and immediately the calendar came out for a December booking.
We decided for an encore to do Wheat Kings by the Hip. They've always done it with just the lead singer and the lead guitarist playing acoustic. The other guitarist, drummer and bass player would sit out. Not me... Broke out the mandolin and played along!
Even got a compliment on my bass tone from the soundman, who just happens to be their former bass player!
Nice warmup for the big Hallowe'en gig tonight!!!
