topher44 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Would anyone who was at the Bottle & Cork last night care to share your thoughts on the show. Especially interested to hear if Rob Eaton was back in the saddle, or not. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP BillK522 Posted August 12, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Well attended local show last nite, heard it was close to sold out. Rob Eaton picked up the axe, but left the vocal chords at home. Rest of the gang solidered on with an orginal setlist. Gotta say, the resiliency of this band continues to amaze. The skill of the personnel shines even brighter under adversity. RobB, Jeff, and Lisa stepped up their game to fill the gaps and the addition of Skip is an emerging force. First set highlights for me were Big RR, Speedway, and Sunshine>Moonlite. RobB went large on the Good Love, 4th Street super soulful, and the Alligator was crushed with Skip providing serious bombs. Just another fantastic voyage to musical bliss. Set list may be incomplete, get better Rob. 8/12/14 Bottle and Cork Dewey Beach, DE Half Step, Big RR, Operator, Pride of Cucamonga, Brown-Eyed, Hurts Me Too, New Speedway, Here Comes Sunshine,Midnight Moonlite Way You Do the Things You Do, FOTD, Good Love, Sunrise, Positively 4th Street, Eleven>Alligator>D>S>Alligator>Two Souls, GDTRFB White Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP 2muchfun Posted August 12, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 As Mr Eaton said not that long ago "Dark Star Orchestra" is bigger than any individual member...If he can play then as I witnessed in set 2 of Pitt show...the rest of this band can more than adequately deal with the vocals and the music does the opposite of suffer.

Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted August 12, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Looking at that set list, especially the second set, I really wish I'd been there for Bikram dancing back among the foosball tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher44 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 A rare Operator, can't remember the last time I heard that song And an electric one at that! I've seen a couple of acoustic versions, which were great, but not with Jeff and Rob E. on electric guitars. A short, but oh-so-sweet little tune it is.

Forum MVP Tea Posted August 12, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 That list looks to be pretty well inside my wheelhouse! Especially from Postively on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP gr8fulpair Posted August 12, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 A rare Operator, can't remember the last time I heard that song I've seen it elec a few times and Rob B totally does it justice. It's a happy song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
