12/2, Seattle, WA review Options

[Bob]

So! Did any other board members attend the Seattle, WA show on Wednesday? I did and I had the time of my life! It was seriously the best concert I've ever been to and it actually started earlier in the day when they did an in-store appearance at the Gibson showroom and performed the Front Porch set, plus a QA and meet and greet. Then, about 3 hours later, I was watching soundcheck with about 10 other people, then I had my face rocked off the rest of the night.

Here's a video shot by my friend with his iPhone 4 of the opener, Appetite, standing right behind me at the front of the stage:

I'll have more to talk about later... and share... as I recorded the audio of the Front Porch from the Gibson showroom, plus I also recorded the soundcheck audio, which is pretty badass, in my opinion. IIRC, they did Crying Time and TROY plugged in, then 2 songs in Front Porch style. They started and stopped a few times to talk stuff out, which was awesome to see "behind the scenes", then to see them totally professional not 2 hours later.

At the end of the show, they all came out for another meet and greet and I talked with them all again and got my picture taken with Gracey, who is so badass, words can't describe.

Funny story... as my wife was checking out the picture she just took of CG and I, I took one step and talked with KM. I shook his hand, we talked for about a minute about them coming back in Spring and while my wife was still looking at her phone, KM reached out and introduced himself to her without any prodding or asking. It was awesome. They're seriously The Gracious Few and it's a night I'll never forget. I hate to fanboy out, but they were so nice, I just can't help it.

I didn't get a setlist, but I ordered the show on CD from Abbey Road. As soon as I get it, I'll post the setlist order, unless someone else has it. Maybe the two people that got setlists are FOL members? Only CT and KM had setlists that I recall seeing.

What a night.
