Wow. What a show. Reckless Kelly played a solid hour and a half and the only negative thing to comment on, was that, Deb was disappointed that they didn't play, "Wiggles and Ritalin". They played everything else I came to hear, and finished up with, "Crazy Eddie's Last Lament" after the crowd chanted, "Eddie, Eddie, Eddie..." for a while. They blew the doors off of, Alejandro Escovedo's, "Castanets", claimed, Richard Thompson's, "Vincent Black Lightning 1952" as their own, and nailed all of their own songs without a hitch. The last time I saw a show run this tight, and well done was catching, Little Feat at, The Port O'Call about six years ago.
The opening act, The Barfly Wranglers out of, Heber, of all places, put on a pretty good hour of music. They were entertaining, much better than the average, bar band and the leader pointed to a guy on the stage and said, "Jack Quist's right here." I guess that was an introduction. Jack used to front, Cowjazz, many, many years ago. They were the house band at, Judd's Frontier Saloon, in Midvale. Under the bowling alley, under the legal age, and over the legal limit should have been the motto at that place. Everyone I knew in there had a fake ID from the back of, Rolling Stone Magazine. Good times.
We went with my neighbor, Ryan and his friend, Nora. All the way home, Nora was saying it was the best concert she had ever seen. I don't know if I'd go that far, but it was a pretty good show.
