J. Holdren Review:
I can't believe no one has posted to review the incredible show last night.  Oh well.......This will be brief:

Excellent. Sold out at $10/ticket. Lou Ford from Charlotte opened.  Much like Hollywood TownHall-era Jayhawks. Daly played with them for 1/2 of the set. Caitlin endorsed them mightily during WT set. Pretty cool band.

Well, where do we begin? 3 new Stonesy rockers opened the set. First one a dead knock off of "Happy". Everybody requested old stuff. Caitlin assured them it was coming. It was. Ryan's response, and I quote: " I don't give a damn, Sam, I just wanna drink.". They did the 1st "If He Can't have You" with the new band. Sloppy, but cool. 

New songs: They did "NYC country girl", or whatever, my new favorite.  Also, a country song called "Money Can't Buy Your Love Back" or something. Ryan loved that one. In my humble opinion, this is the best version of the band yet. I loved Phil's playing, but Brad is great with the new rhythm section. Just a fucking rock show!!

They did "Yesterday's news". Encore was everybody switching instruments on 16 Days. Daly on lead guitar, Caitlin on lead vox. Terry on acoustic. Ryan drums. My friend remarked how everybody in the band was smiling all night. It was a very cool club show. The final song was "Piss on your grave", Ryan put his Gibson thru the bass drum head. Then spit beer all over the band, and sprayed the crowd with 3 beers at once and ran away. Didn't seem drunk at all though. At least by Raleigh standards.  Ryan put it best, after some guy screamed, southern style after like the 3rd song or something: yeeeeeehaaaaaa! 
"You can't get that yell anywhere else!" No you can't.
