Great sounding room. Amazing crowd. Best show in a while, and the first one with the new additions (Sput, Bill, Mark, Marcelo, Cory) in which the band feels really cohesive. A chant of “Yorkshire” from the audience prompts Bill into a 4/4 intro of 34 Klezma. The band cooks up a new groove on the outro to Bent Nails underneath soulful trumpet playing from Justin. After a reprise that sparks trading from Cory and Bill, Cory sings on Thing of Gold. Mark, Cory, and Sput mix it up on What About Me? and Sput takes a patient but explosive solo. The band hits a groove on Young Stuff and Michael talks with the band on the outro to Young Stuff. First live performance of Sharktank with Sput and Justin absolutely owns the final solo. He switches to trumpet for loads of theme and variation on Shofukan. Michael takes the intro to a slow, funky Quarter Master and the crowd jumps in. Mark takes things way up. The band stumbles into a groove during introductions and sits in it.
