this was a very heart-felt show for alot of people. Not only was this to be their triumphant return to the pnc bank arts center! It was also a show to celebrate a dear friend in Max (ie. Sand) gonna miss him down at the ol river dive! chalkdust is great for opening shows... it's played alot but it definitely sets a tone.
the highlights have got to be from roggae to divided sky in the first set. Rock and Roll is abslolutely the best version i've ever seen... after midnight was surprising possum more so. but drowned-maze-dirt-alaska made all the sense in the world. YEM... i guess i want it to be a rarity at this point because i love the song i don't want to hear it at every other show. Fire was fire. had a great time with alot of good people and that's what it's all about. first show at pnc in eleven years i believe and it was worth the wait.
