moe. * The Pageant * STL * 7/16/09

I'm speechless. It's the next day after the show, and I'm still picking my jaw up off the floor. That show was nuts. DOWNLOAD THIS SHOW! I didn't see Jim at the Peoria show I made last year, so I was happy to see him on the vibes, xylophone, guitar, bass and he even sang a song late in the 2nd set, which Al announced was the first time they performed it. The song was alright, but there's a reason why Jim doesn't sing on many tunes; oh well, he has to get his feet wet sometime if he wants to start singing too. I can only criticize him because Al, Rob and Chuck's vocals were Dy-no-mite! Killer tunes, many of which I didn't know but they kept me moving the entire night. Another item to note included Al bringing out the double-necked electric mandolin/guitar late in the 2nd set. Although there were balance issues at first and we couldn't hear it at first, Al and the sound-guy got it working and it was a nice addition to a frantic bluegrass jam. As if 3 hours of moe. weren't enough, Madahoochi kept the party ragging at Halo afterwards.
