White Swirl

no reviews of last night's show?

Well, there's this one from the Times-Picayune http://www.nola.com/voodoofest/index.ss ... _vood.html

And I know I wasn't the only one there, because there were thousands of us. Here' the setlist from rag-and-bone over at the LR, for instance:


Consoler
hands
level
old enough
top yourself
you don't understand me
many shades of black
switch and the spur
together
intimate secretary
broken boy soldier
rich kid blues
blue veins

encore:
salute your solution
steady as she goes
carolina drama

My own impression (the only other time I've seen the Racs was at MI-Fest) was that it was a bit rusty at first, with a few missed cues, etc., but then caught fire, and Blue Veins just blew my head off--began with a long Jack solo, then into the song, then an even more intense solo. Just awesome. Mark instead of Dean, which mostly made a difference in that the fiddle on Old Enough really adds a dimension to the song. Band seemed to be having fun, and seemed to enjoy the crowd--it was definitely mutual, people going crazy where I was (right in the middle on the rail).

Btw, for those at MI-Fest--hardly any lines for the RRS at all. Thus they seemed to have stuff left over from the previous days' specials (like the Seasick Steve split).

I'm thinking they brought a bunch of that merch back to Nashville with them and it'll be showing up in the store tomorrow.

You're probably right. And I know that the RRS is already on the road (if it hasn't arrived) because it left the hotel about thirty seconds before me.

anone grab any extras from the RRS please pm me...have some thing to trade.

I was there on Tuesday and didn't see anything exciting, unless they had it all tucked away somewhere. The cases were even much emptier than I've seen in the past.

I suppose it's possible they haven't unpacked them yet or something. I definitely don't think they sold a lot over the weekend, and some of Saturday's specials were still available on Sunday, for instance.
