This was our first time playing at Edgar's in Manasquan and by all measures it was a great night. The show featured our longest set list to date, a whopping 40 songs in all that included several debuts such as "Hearts of Stone," "The Ties That Bind" and "Downbound Train." We also kicked off the holiday season with the yuletide favorites "Merry Christmas Baby" and "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town." One of the more unique aspects of the night came late into the second set when a lovely female patron generously bought the entire band a round of shots and then politely requested that we perform "Thunder Road" a second time since she had arrived after we already played it. We obliged. Two songs later she was back with another round of shots, this time requesting a repeat performance of "Born to Run." We were really torn as to what to do, not wanting to bore the rest of the audience who had already heard the song a half hour earlier, but in the end we wound up playing it again and if people were unhappy, they didn't show it. Who knows, maybe next time out people will start countering by buying us shots to try to persuade us NOT to play a song a second time.
We had an excellent crowd on hand and the whole staff at Edgar's was really great. Thanks to all who came out to see us. Hope you had a great time.
