It was awesome. I finally found some notes I made on the set list from the Paradise show. Here's what I jotted down: Cluck Old Hen Garden Rose Yellow Brick Road Broken White Line Words Fail You (I like this song a lot, so I'm glad she included it) North Dakota Weatherman Little Wings* Somewhere Trouble Don't Go* Marylou Honeyed Out Red Herring (encore, even though she said they were told their time was up, they didn't turn on the lights, so they came back and played Red Herring) *I'm not sure if Little Wings and Somewhere Trouble Don't Go are in the right place. It was great to see Kris with a full band behind her. Since I had seen a show and a half's worth of solo acoustic performance just a week earlier, it was fun to see the contrast, to hear the same songs performed in such a different style. But even on North Dakota, which she played solo, she really rocked it, with a completely different vocal stylization than she usually performs it. Erin McKeown & Jabe were both great to see. Erin played solo, mostly stuff from Distillation. She did perform one song that she said was her showstopper back when was 16 years old and playing gigs (not that that's so long ago). After the show, one of my friends said that she didn't think she'd want to see Erin perform again since it's just like listening to her CD -- the songs sound the same in person as they do on the disc. But I'd be happy to sit in a nice comfy easy chair and listen to her play live for an hour or two. Jabe and company were goofy and rocking and high-powered and obviously having a great time. One highlight of Jabe's set was the site of Sean Staples laying flat out on his back on the floor where he landed after executing a heavy metal-esque jump. I don't think he missed a lick on his mandolin, and he bounced back up even faster than he fell! He probably didn't even feel a thing, if he and the rest of the band lived up to their "reefer" creed . I wished Jabe would have played "I Don't Know," but otherwise they rocked through a lot of the songs from Twenty Point Turn (I'm not that familiar with Outback Country Vampire, so I don't know the songs on that disc). In fact, I think Jabe is one of those bands that's better live than on disc. You gotta see them to know what I mean..... All in all, it was a fabulous night -- and great that I was able to be in Boston for business that weekend!
