Strange they played nothing from 'Two Against Nature' and only 'Godwhacker' from 'Everything Must Go'.

 

Still looks a strong set list though.

...Often they don't play anything from their last two albums ....last time around they did entire album sets on certain nights inc an "Aja" night and a "Royal Scam" evening.

They are playing two shows outdoors near Seattle in Redmond on Saturday and Sunday. The weather is beautiful right now. Sounds tempting.

 

How'd they sound, Peter?

Hi Joerand ...I wish I knew! ...I'm a obsessive Danfan on the digest@dandom.com mailing list in the UK and spotted this setlist this morning in my mail.....all reviews from every date are posted up at dandom.com - I'd LOVE to be in Seattle for the week-end show (a place I've always wanted to visit) but alas I'm stuck here in the UK  ......someday mebbe's ...sigh

Yes, wish we'd see them in the UK. Have to be content with Nearly Dan's annual pre-Crimbo gig here in blackpuddingland.

Is Jon Herrington still MD and lead guitar? Boy, is he good!

From dandom.com .....current line-up for 2014 ....Donald and Walter are joined once again by their now-legendary supporting musicians: Keith Carlock on drums, Freddie Washington on bass, Jim Beard on keyboards, Jon Herington on guitar, Michael Leonhart on trumpet and keys, Jim Pugh on trombone, Roger Rosenberg on baritone saxophone and Walt Weiskopf on saxophone.

The band wouldn't be complete without the three sublime, soulful songbirds: La Tanya Hall, Carolyn Leonhart-Escoffery and Cindy Mizelle.]. Together, they will treat audiences to selections from The Dan's extraordinary four-decade catalog, rich with infectious tunes, bodacious harmonies, irresistible grooves, and sleek, subversive lyrics — all punctuated with blazing solo work and rich ensembles.

True, but on a positive note, they did Bodhisattva and they didn't do FM
