> Hey Y'All,
>
> Just when I thought it was fun to catch the beginning of Spring tour, it became
> WINTER tour! Forty miles from Cleveland the rain turned to heavy snow. It was
> coming down sideways, and extremely hard, as we entered the State Theatre.
> Great seeing Tom Smith shooting the show with his camera! He and Billy made the
> trek from Rochester. My usual pals from every show were there, Fred, Pete, and
> Teresa. I have never been to this theatre. What a great old building! Very
> classic! Nate and Kate were at a wedding reception and would be there after the
> start of the set. I grabbed his gear and wandered down to the 9th row. I was
> able to clamp onto Innis's stand DFC. I set up and got everyone patched in. I
> was running a 4V pattern. Only one problem, Nate's mics are not 4v's, but 4's.
> We realized it after the first set. Hubie and Nate gave me the Jeff Frank
> taping award for the night! Much to my surprise, they don't sound too bad. Of
> course the tape sounds better for the second set.
>
> The boys opened out of the gate very strongly with a nice Surprise>C Brown.
> Again, they played all repeats except for 4 songs. TPOT again was well received
> and well played. I was thinking of Sleepy Monkey when we got Monstosity. To me,
> Monstrosity is like Sleepy Monkey on steroids. Again, the first set cracked the
> 1 hour barrier for the 2nd straight night.
>
> We finally got Nate to come forth with some blow up toys after 3 shows! We had
> a mean duet with the pink sax and white guitar! Even Pete took a lead or two!
> The Old Neighborhood again was filled with funk, very bouncy. The jam out of
> Rebirtha was stellar! We got a nice phat Drivin' sandwich. George hit the notes
> on the Pilgrims as it did sound very sweet. I really like the Good People. It
> grew on me very quickly, just as I dig Second Skin. At the encore, Dave thanked
> us for coming out in the Cold Rain and Snow. JB thanked his Homies. When we
> exited the building, the snow was coming down horizontally, steered by 45 mph
> winds! Ouch!
>
> Here is how it went down:
