HOLY FREAKOUT BATMAN!!!!!
For the select few of us who were there, Jacqui and the band put on a totally amazing show. It really was "in your living room". I am fortunate enough to have been to BH HQ twice before, so I am somewhat familiar with Doc's listening space and barrage of 300B's. I had never heard the Tode before.
Words are completely inadequate. The mike Jaqcui was using was sublime? maybe? Smooooooth definitely. The Tode kicked so much ass when Art was playing it, I'm wondering how I can still sit!! The entire band was totally and completely awesome, the entire 2 hours was 10 out of 10.
The libations were superb, and then after the show we all got to hang with the band, as they are personal friends of Dan's. Most of the audience seemed to be mainly "seasoned" afficianados, and of course Josh and PB were there, as was Clark B and his wife, and a few lovely serving girls to keep things flowing without interruptions to the show.
My wife and I were in the first row of three, there were perhaps 20 people there? The band was quite literally within 20 feet of everyone in the room. And with Doc's system, in that room, it was what music is all about. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about it now.
I'm sorry more Bottleheads could not be there for this, and I just had to post this, in part to gloat, and in part to let you know you need to seek out live music and like minded folks and enjoy it to the fullest.
Sandy and I both thank you Dan and Jacqui et al for an unforgettable evening. I stand ready for the next one.
Aural Robert.
