The Raconteurs

Didnt get inside the record store, so we listened from outside. It was not acoustic, they rocked! It was cool to run into Ron Livingston from Office Space there!

^ That is cool.  How long did they play and was it straight Racs?

Horos

Very cool.

We're off to Portland for the show tonight.

Still dig the album but it’s not sticking with me the way some other recent albums are. Keep going back to the Tedeschi-Trucks’ Signs and the new National is creeping up on the play count bit by bit. Not a bad album by any stretch but about half feels predictable and rehashed. Part of that is the way Jack sorta pillages different bits from his various projects form his solo albums. 

I’m not going to micro dissect this album

Then just what the hell are we doing here?

I’ll get a vinyl copy and we can commence with the dissecting

The vinyl is great!! Only wish it was a gatefold. Sound quality is phenomenal.

It was so good! No complaints about the length of the set here. Played about two hours. I think we got all but two of the new songs. Great electric version of Carolina Drama. I think the encore was longer than the opening set. Like the poster too. I was two back from the rail right in front of Jack. Great Oregon theme to the poster.

No "Top Yourself".. that's surprising considering he plays it solo quite a bit.

He teased it during the transition between two songs.
