good for you! that'll be fun...please share trhe details with us.
as for seeing them: i watched the boys tear it up in nashville last night. i've seen them many times, and i must say: they are fucking on it right now! as always, pat is pounding out un utter awesomeness behind the kit..and dan is quietly becoming one of the best rock-n-rollers out there today. i gotta say, dan looks so completly comfortable up there...and has developed a damn find way of showmanship. b ut their tightness as a unit is a must see. and they really are feeding off of the crowd, which creates a fucking solid environment. have fun

Just got back from the show and it was unbelievable. I got to meet Dan and Pat before hand at a catered meet and greet. after that I managed to snake my way through the thick crowd up to my brother and friend in the front row right in front of dan's mic. She's Long Gone was just crazy good then when the four piece band became a two piece again all hell broke loose. Your Touch started and the crowd exploded in cheers. I was constantly watching for people to fall on my head from crowd surfing during that song.

Dan was extremely happy it looked like. He was just in amazement at the energy and size of the crowd. I also saw Nappy on stage in the back and I think I saw Pats dad in the press pit.

@nappy: if you were in fact there, possible commentary on the show?

I was there last night! Wooo! Rock 'n' roll! \m/

Sorry... after-show afterglow. Anyway, it was excellent. There was a semi-obnoxious group of "dude-bros" (as my blog cohort, Jennifer, calls them) in front of me, but most everyone else in the audience was cool. Didn't see any fights this time. Did see nappy on stage for a minute during early set-up. Almost shouted out to him, but decided I probably wasn't loud enough to be heard from that distance.

They played "Act Nice and Gentle", which sounded really nice. I like the variety that song adds to his vocal performance. "Everlasting Light" had been sounding a little off to me in concert, but last night, it sounded tight. Very good. (I keep hoping they'll break out "The Go Getter", but it keeps not happening.)

Pat's T-shirt: CLEVELAND IS THE CITY. (Harkening back to the raiding of Dan's closet on another thread, I would like to own Pat's entire T-shirt collection.)

The band's energy wasn't quite as high as it was at the Cleveland show, but that's like comparing a 7.0 earthquake to a 6.5 earthquake: it's still motherfucking bone-rattling. And they were really tight all around last night.

You know it's a good show when you stagger and weave out of the venue like a drunkard even though you haven't had a drop of alcohol all day. TBK shows are like workouts for the body and soul, and I left feeling both exhausted and invigorated.

I didn't notice the girl passing out, but it was so hot that it's not suprising. Poor thing.

April 3 hrs ago: TBK shows are like workouts for the body and soul, and I left feeling both exhausted and invigorated. You nailed it.

I love Dan's look in the last photo, "Alright asshole, take the fucking picture already!!!"

Those are 2 tired musicians. They deserve a little break. I thought the show was very good, and I agree, not quite as good as Cleveland, but I guess Cleveland shows are always going to be just a little better than most places.
