Then followed it up by saying that, since they had done the previous song for Nerissa, they were going to do a Nerissa song for themselves and played Easy People, giving it a good Kennedys-style jangle. Was very pleased with my first Kennedys show. Lots of energy and excitement. It's fun watching the two of them work out what they're going to do next. Or, sometimes, what they're doing *now*. Being so close in a small venue, it felt like getting to sit and watch friends rehearse. (Only I've never had any friends who were up to that professional level in a real gig, let alone at rehearsal.) The looseness, coupled with their playing, the great songs and Maura's passionate vocals, makes for an exciting show. Vibrant. Yeah, that's the word I want. Vibrant. Pete clearly *knows* the guitar. I'd like to be able to better explain what I mean by that, but I'm speechless. In awe. "Get It Right" was the high point of the night for me. So I'm *really* looking forward to the new CD already. But also hoping I get to hear the song again before the CD is released. Hopefully as early as NYE. Other high points: "Wall Of Death". The request medley with "Highway 10", "Wipeout", and Dicky Chapelle. "Nothing But A Child". The Christmas songs that Pete frequently mixed into his solos. "Can't Kill Hope With A Gun". One complaint: The show was too short. Well. . . No, not really. It just *seemed* too short cause it went by so fast. Was also good to meet the infamous Cone and Greta and her friend Jim? (I think I've gone blank on his name). Sorry I missed Kate.

Dedicated to Nerissa. What was dedicated to Nerissa.....the song or the whole show? How was your first Kennedys show??
