Up next was a cover of The Rolling Stones’ “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” featuring the Turkuaz Horns who also added to the “McBain” set closer. It was then time for moe.kuaz as both bands filled the stage for a three-song encore that began with the moe. debut of Sam & Dave’s “Soul Man.” Next up was the moe. debut of “Ophelia” by The Band before the two groups ended the night with Talking Heads’ “Life During Wartime.” moe. hadn’t performed “Life During Wartime” since 2010.
