It was a typical hot, sweaty and crowded night at The Mad Hatter featuring a good crowd whose enthusiasm reached a fever pitch during the last 45 minutes of the night. This show featured "Girls in Their Summer Clothes," which hadn't been played since last summer, as well as "My Love Will Not Let You Down" and "The Rising," neither of which had seen their way into a set list in quite some time. The show was a special one in that keyboardist Mark "Mr. Perfect" Bistis (the man with the tan) celebrated his birthday at the stroke of midnight. Happy birthday Mark!
Mad Hatter shows are famous for pushing the bar to the brink of a fine for cutting it so close to the 2 a.m. curfew and for pushing the band to the brink of pure exhaustion. But after being urged on by bar owner Scott Kelly, who stood atop the bar waiving an American flag, we couldn't say no, and performed an encore rendition of "Born in the USA," which wrapped up at 1:59 a.m.
