Bruce invited
the audience to sing along on Burn and
noted that it was "mildly
topical" and, "unfortunately,
still topical".
Julie Wolf
played the mouth organ during Postcards
From Cambodia.
One thing I noticed is that Bruce
appeared to play this song with
a 6th-string bass drone throughout. Prior to the song, Bruce said (with
some irony, I think) that this is a "landscape song".
Prior to All
Our Dark Tomorrows,
Bruce
talked a little bit about the song. I had noted
that there was a sticker on some of the amplification equipment that
read "Somewhere
in Texas, there is a village missing an idiot."
Steve Lucas played a bowed
stand-up bass at the beginning of Wait
No More, then switched to plucking it. Julie
Wolf was on the accordion.
Before Open, someone in the
crowd had hollered out at Bruce to play the theme from Franklin (the children's
television show), which was written by
Bruce; Bruce commented on this for a few minutes.
Night Train featured
some scat singing toward the end that showcased his excellent vocal abilities.
You've
Never Seen Everything
featured some bowing of a stand-up bass by Steve Lucas; at times, Steve Riley
played
some eerie-looking bells with mallets.
This was a great show. Bruce looked well-rested and smiled more often than at previous shows. He seemed to be enjoying himself. The venue was small and pretty intimate. We came away from the show feeling really good.
