BAND OF HEATHENS at Shady Grove 6-18-09

I'm behind in writing about the shows & almost forgot this one! This was the 1st show since they pulled the plug due to license/loudness/you name it issues.
So, this show was much quieter than normal. The good thing is you could actually here the vocals clearly. Usually they are very muddy because they have the instruments up so high, vocals always get lost.
With the terrific 3 part harmony of the Band of Heathens it was great to hear them cleanly, crisply. They are a good, country rocking band with catchy melodies. They've been touring quite a bit since they released the self-titled Band of Heathens record. It's very good.
On this night it was Paul McCartney's birthday so they did a great cover of "I've Got A Feeling." They also did my favorite live song "Jenny Was A Keeper."
This band has 3 lead singers. They take turns singing lead & like I mentioned previously, when they harmonize, it is sweet.
We got a full concert, no police interruption, all is well. For now.
