They have a mailer and offer pre-sales for some events.  If you're thinking about going to this show it might be a good idea to sign up for it.

Finally they played A Boy I Never Knew. Nice. :smth023

Probably the best show I have seen from them in years.  They sounded great, Robert was very chatty and engaging.  Simon seemed annoyed at the start of A Forest.  Not sure if it was a problem with his gear, or if he was wincing at the noise created by Porl and Robert jamming basically face to face in front of Porl's amp.

It was amazing actually hearing Porl play tonight- because I was so close, I was able to hear Porl's guitar from his amp.  Still a mystery as to why he is so low in the PA mix.  Forgot to ask their sound guy about that!  I have full videos of A Boy I Never Knew, A Letter To Elise (for my daughter, Elise!), and Plainsong.  I also have the last 5 minutes of A Forest with the alternate lyrics.  All should be posted here in the video section sometime in the near future.

Tonight ended show number 3 in the past 4 days (and 7 of the 10 shows this tour), and all that means to me is:

a) I need to get up in 4 hours to go to the airport to fly home
b) I have to re-enter the real world and go back to work (for a week then, I'm off to Cleveland and NYC)

Yuck! :smth100

And a quick pic from tonight until the Houston section of the gallery is set up:

Sounds like a great show, j.  Thanks for the report.  

I certainly enjoyed being in close proximity to Porl's amps for a few shows.  It makes for a completely different sound when you have him blasting away straight ahead and everything is coming from above, behind, around you.  

I'm curious if that extended bit at the end of A forest was leaning towards Forever or really just some jamming going on to close out the song?

I was waiting for it, but it always had the Forest bass line going.  I can post a sample tomorrow (the video is uploading right now and is 150mb +....and you know as well as I do how fast Hampton's upload speeds are :roll:)

I forgot to mention....A Boy I Never Knew had different lyrics tonight.  Not sure if RS just screwed them up, or if re-wording the lyrics was the "technical difficulties"
