There were empty seats... not a sellout at either Friday - Arcada, nor Saturday DP Theatre. I was couch surfing 2nd set on Fri (VG, not Ex), yet 1st set was where the 🔥🔥opened with Kimocks debut kickin' off with UJB> Mt. Jam that was 52 mins by themselves. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/CRLmcLCd3scfoc58/?mibextid=oFDknk first set!
The Sat show featured Kimock. TC was contributing, but he was always subtle, bringing undertones to melody, not dynamics. Guberman took on some singing and fingers tickling the Nord keys and Oakley never really got the featured spotlight, holding bass lines, but giving up the central BEAT to Pete on the kit and Kimock front and center, harmonizing various voicings on a Fender Strat, Gibson hollowbody and a E-35(i think?!). Karan also seemed to have been deferential last night on the tour, gave some spotlight up, but sang and played some leads, as well as rhythm, but fewer solos in the mix. I chose not to video "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," the E: finale, to just savor it in the moment. Told my buddy mid song, I loved not filming that, but also hated not capturing it for posterity. It was a good one.
