Today was long. I'm really glad that tomorrow is the last day of my run, because I can definitely use a couple of days off. It took me a long time to wind down from work tonight, but I finally got there about midnight. One of the things that helped? Sitting in the dark with the acoustic. I told myself when I killed the lights that I was just going to play, and try not to worry about the album, or writing new stuff, or whatever. Not so fast. There's been a strange version of B minor that I've played with for years, and would love to use for the band, if only I could find the rest of a fitting progression for it to go with. I'm listening to itunes as I type this, and the line that just played struck a chord. It's from an Anna Nalick song called "Wreck Of The Day." "Driving away from the wreck of the day, and it's finally quiet in my head." Odd choice, perhaps, considering that my day was just busy, not bad, but it does feel, finally, like my head has quieted down some from all the insanity of the last week. Tomorrow looks kinda crazy from where I sit right now, but there will be music to get me through.
Okay, so Dave's voice was kinda shot last night and the show was still epic. Here's what they played: Run All My Life Learn to Fly The Pretender The Sky Is a Neighborhood Rope ( with solo's ) Sunday Rain My Hero These Days Walk Under My Wheels / Jump / Another One Bites the Dust / Blitzkrieg Bop ( w/ band introductions ) Big Me Congregation Breakout Times Like These This Is a Call Under Pressure ( Queen cover) Monkey Wrench Breakdown ( Tom Petty cover) Best of You Dirty Water Let There Be Rock ( AC/DC cover) Everlong And here is a little bit of "Big Me," just for fun:
