Meh. I guess my expectations were too high. I wasn't completely blown away, so I left feeling disappointed.
Keith Carlock was a monster on the drumset, but everything seemed to drag. Maybe it was bad acoustics.
The set seemed like a compromise. My friends were disappointed that they didn't play more hits (they didn't do Deacon Blues), and I was disappointed that they didn't play more "jam" songs (they didn't do Green Earrings). So...what the hell did they play?
I think they were counting on a sense of "nostalgia" that the audience full of old fogeys were supposed to be feeling. I don't know.
They weren't lacking in talent, it just wasn't a very good set.
I could have stayed home and listened to Alive in America (concert performances from 1993–1994).
