Good Morning NERDS!

Another show is in the books. @mccuem was nice enough to donate a pin for the Nerd with the most points scored. That Nerd Just happened to be me with a 3 banger for the opener (Eternity) I am going to turn down this generous prize, which means someone in 2nd from last night will win it. last night was a 4 way tie at 2 points by @mdjabber, @el_jefe, Michael Rothschild, RYAN KNAPP. I will discuss with Martin on how he wants to determine the tie breaker.

There is still so much material that the band has yet to play. Start looking at the "Tour Song Count" tab on the spreadsheet use this as your cheat sheet. In a few more shows this will be extremely helpful to use process of elimination and very well could get you more points of your 1st point Cough Cough @Tyler Jones.Haha love you Tyler just giving you some shit.

As always here are my picks for tonight:

Set One: Ginger Stardust
Set Two: Slip and Squander
Encore: Ain't That Wrong

Enjoy your Sunday Nerds! Relax, watch football, recover from last nights hang over (Damn whiskey did it to me again). Enjoy your day.

Thanks again for everyone who is taking part in this it means a lot.

Thanks,
Blaise

You can play the video in embedded media player too.

Around 20 minutes into that 11/1 Red's Jam, when they drop out of the peak and instantly change keys, Red's synthy late night grooves all the way into the segue itself. That is some sick music.

TY Damian!

When they made the switch back at first I scratched my head. I felt bad for Cam and still do. They're playing with Cam seemed a bit more up tempo and I really got into that. I saw all my first shows with cam, and it was sad to see him go.
HOWEVER, once Nick stepped in, I listened to everything I could, current and from his first tenure. He was rusty at first after getting back behind the kit, IMHO and all that, but the deeper I dug the more I appreciated how nuanced and beautiful a player he is. After I got a chance to see him live for the first time in Asbury Park this summer I was floored. I have since become a huge fan of his. He is intricate, collaborative and takes lots of risks that pay off big time. So, the move was sad but I get it now.
Finally, I miss Cam but get why they went back to their original drummer. I think they could have handled it better, and hope he knew it was just a temporary gig, but that isn't for me to say.
Thank you to this community for all the great music, shows and talk. I love the above discussion, the examples of his playing, etc.

Night 2 at The Roxy.. SO GOOD!!!! Soundcheck was FIRE too and they didn't let up all night!

A couple inconsistencies:

Hot In Herre is listed as played on NYE, but not for any of its other occurrences. They have done that exaxct tease/jam quite a few times. 8/17/2011 is one example.

Wolfman's Brother is listed as played for the fakeouts on 12/30/19 and 9/30/16, but Mike's Song fakeout on 04/01/2017 is only notated with a [1].

12/30/2019 Brian teases/jams off Impressions by Coltrane in Plans. Recording isn't out yet but Brian confirmed it after the show

@Rainman you sir... are a Nerd :)
