Karin had an energy that seemed a step up from where she usually is in her Moth and (ooh, I can't find my setlist now) some other song that I think was The World Can Wait she seemed to be conversing with her muse at such a level that I was afraid that she might burst into flames at a moments notice.

I don't know, but Jack's guitar playing was fabulous.  he had some neato tricks too that I don't know the name of.  But they were cool nonetheless.  Rockin rockin.

wow, I had no idea, else I might have helped.  Not that I'm real useful at heavy lifting...

The setlist was also very eclectic which helped I believe.  They didn't play so many of the popular tunes from GDBD, for instance, so if you were only a very casual fan, then you might have been disappointed.

I thought it was fabulous though.  Super super.

It allows an audience to really begin to see how the art is made, and how beautiful it is.  Jack's solo was amazing during JV, and I wanted to jump up and yell, but my girlfriend made me stay seated so I didn't embarrass her.

It was a super JV.  and when Linford switched to the hammond organ... that was rockin'.

so, what, your just going to tell us you gained a story and not share it?  Tease.
