Me and the Mrs had a great night at unpredictable.
Short drive, good free parking, nice venue. Todd sounded superb, and the band was very tight.
The house announcer spoke to the crown before hand, no dancing in the isles, no streaming data, no recording video yada yada
Not sure what they opened with, I think there was a song playing on the house speakers, and Todd and the band played along with it and did a verse and a chorus, then at the end Todd said into the mic, you all listened to one song.....no refunds. Then they did "Black and White" Todd shared with the audience that the band doesn't bring a stool from show to show with them, and use a stool provided by the venue. He said the stool was an awkward height that would make it look he is standing all night but he wasn't and that the stool provided no padding.
I ignored the venue rules and recorded the band performing "96 Tears" but paused the recording in the middle, and resumed recording. So I need to stitch these 2 videos together before I upload it. Oh yeah the band did "96 Tears" per haps this was the 60's song that replaced "Incense Peppermints" in past setlists. They also did Chantilly Lace, and I Want You (she's so heavy). Another time I thought I hit record, but was holding up my phone without it recording while I thought it was recording.
They did 20 plus songs, to a crowd that I would consider mostly void of energy (which is a shame). East Greenwich is an affluent neighborhood, perhaps the concert goers were too uptight.
The Mrs. was a bit let down (I guess I was too a tiny bit) that Todd did not break out any of his big recognizable "hits" with the exception of "I saw the light" which he did bosa nova style Love of a Common Man and A Dream goes on Forever. She was really let down actually, but the next morning she was able to look past that detail, and recognize that she witnessed something special.
I saw a $35 high quality manufactured tshirt, that I just had to have, so I picked that up, and programs featuring Todd on the cover were handed out, I grabbed a pile after the show was over, and used the cover as a tiny poster in my basement workshop.
Good stuff
