– SHACK THOUGHTS –
Show starts with a Bass Solo, which to me is the sign of good things to come (the first gig I saw live, 4/23/1998, opened with a Bass Solo too — only I had no idea what the band actually looked like at that time, even though I’d been listening for a couple of years (I’d seen one picture, maybe once?), so when Chris came out and started beating the hell out of the bass I wasn’t sure if somebody should stop him or what! HA!) … anyway, the fun continues with a Syeeda’s to get rolling, and then the set gets more and more fun with Shack > Dracula > a mid-set Chubb Sub … Brigas > Partido is a cool pairing …. One of my favourite moments is the opening to Coconut Boogaloo w/John on Clavinet — WAY COOL! And coming out of The Dropper sounds fine to my ears … Shacklyn > Jelly is another cool pairing … Night Marchers is one of my favourite tunes, and I dig it as a stand alone encore, for sure …

enjoy the grooves,
dug
