Still the only ones who do what they do....Dead Shoreline
Okay-the Dead were KILLER!!!! KILLER SHOW!!!! VERY KILLER AND GOOD AND EXCELLENT SHOW WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE DAMMIT!!!!! I GIVE THAT SHOW A RINGING ENDORSEMENT!! :-) There.
Anyway, Joan is actually a real great addition, and the chemistry is wonderful, much, much better than the Donna days, if I say so myself. No screeching, powerful voice, the boys share a lot more of the vocals with her, she takes a lot of the Jerry tunes and has the Jerry emotive style down, only it's female. When she is not singing she dances and shimmies, and dances a little in Phil's space, and dances a little in Bob's space and adds that great nubile female energy and the boys in the band like it and the boys in the audience like it and the girls like it and she made me cry during Days Between, and Peggy-O was beautiful with her singing Peggy's part, and Phil singing the narrative and Bob doing the Sweet William-O parts and it was totally killer and Jimmy is learning to play less notes like Jer did and their sound dynamics are a lot better, they can go from loud to pin drop on a dime, and they sound 100% better than last December and they don't jam too long and it was really, really, really good.
And Joan is way cute and has a powerful voice and can do the ballads and rock the house, and damm I hope they do this again and that the boys stay alive for a while longer cause I ain't done with em yet and they ain't done with us yet and it ain't done, yet. I hope.
Did I mention that Days Between was majestic and heart rending and awesome and omigod?
