Entire show was acoustic, with Marco on Upright Piano, Tommy & Scott on Acoustic Guitars thru their amps, Dave on Upright Bass & Joe on a small kit, with Kick, Snare, Hat & 1 cymbal. Only the piano & vocals were sent thru the PA. The performance space holds about 60 or so people & there were probably 75 or so there. The band started out with each member choosing a song from stage right (MB) to stage left (JR), hence the “requested by” notes for the songs up through Estimated. Every song except Uncle John's Band (played Acoustic on 2016-10-06) was the First Time Played Acoustic by Almost Dead.

@ - With an “LA Woman” (The Doors) Tease (MB)
# - With Terrapin Station & Ruben & Cherise Teases (Band)
$ - With a “Becky” (Benevento Russo Duo) Tease (JR)
% - With multiple teases/themes, including “Careless Whisper” (Wham) & On The Road Again from Marco, Terrapin Station & Let It Grow Teases (Band)
^ - Basically the band weaved the 2 songs together & went back & forth between them
& - Not played since North Coast Festival 2015-9-4, a gap of 48 shows, with a Terrapin Tease (TH)
* - With a tease of an American Babies Tune from their first album - will ask TH the title
+ - First Time Played by Almost Dead
! - This was basically a mash up of the 2 songs, sometimes with the band playing both tunes simultaneously, if that makes sense
@@ - Contained multiple Other One Teases & Jams (Band)

I think one could listen to this show 20 times & find something new to their ears each time. The band played without a set list, & were freely flowing between songs, themes, jams & teases. I’m sure there’s a ton of stuff that I missed, so let us know what you heard.

Thanks to Threes for a great night (great two nights really) & to all of you. Happy Holidays!!!
