the limelight

Oh my goodness. I've waited 4 years, and I finally saw Colin James last night. It was amazing. We got there semi-early for a bar gig, which left ample room at the front of the stage. Colin Linden, opening act and backing guitarist for the current Colin James band was pretty cool. I love steel guitar, it sucks because the sound was going wonky for only that guitar.

We made friends with a security guard, he actually was a really nice guy, commented on our twin Wide Mouth Mason shirts (he was actually at the last show), and bought 2 pairs of guitar pick earrings (I brought them to give to the bands).

Setlist: (Italics were not played, bold were added in)
Better Way to Heaven

So there was a LOT of stuff off Limelight, which is not my favourite CJ album, but it's still good, and an especially good live album.

Steve's here so I suppose this will have to do for a review! mwah!
