Anyone else see the shows of Nov 12, 13? They were pretty awesome and significant for me. Long sets and introduction of new tunes to the current playlists. Some soulful performance.

Thank you for two amazing shows. I hope this is a new format for future venues, with no opening act, giving you all a chance to really lay it out on the stage and include a number of the new songs as well as the old standards and nuggets for the die hard fans like me. Alma and I had a wonderful time at both shows, though I would say the sound was better at the Waterbury venue. I know Carteret is a new venue and they are most likely still working out the kinks of how loud they can let bands play and still keep the neighbors happy!
All the new songs are great live, but I have to say, Lennie's Song is simply breathtaking and infectiously fun. I love that you wrote it with Zeke and I really do think that Garth Brooks could do a good cover of it! There was so much good stuff rolled up into two shows I can't remember which song it was but you and Richie did duel lead for a while there, like Thin Lizzy, and it was wicked awesome. I know that's a thing you have been interested in doing for a long time and it made me smile big, as well as sounding terrific.
Kids, if you can get to a show soon, do it. I think the band is out of the cage after the heavy covid lockdowns and they are on fire!

Hey Rastus Bear, Surprised we didn't see you and Adam at the Jersey show. Hope things are well with you. Everything is cool at Casa Clark and the oystertots are now full grown oystergirls doing their adulting stuff. Life sure goes by fast, so important to grab as much of the good stuff as you can! Be well my friend.

Buck, I was at the Carteret show. It was wonderful. It was my daughter’s first show, and she loved it (first row helps…). She’s a big fan of TSR, especially Tainted Blood (go figure!), so props to Richie for giving her a copy of the setlist, a pick, and to snap a few photos afterwards.
I was at the Glenside show two weeks prior, and that one was fabulous, as well. I love the fact that the band has mixed in so many different nuggets as the dates roll on.
FWIW, Astronomy was just beautiful. The band was in such a relaxed groove on that one, if that makes sense.
Hey, and 13 years ago tonight, we were in Hoboken at the Hardcore Fans Show. Now THAT was a night!

Oh my goodness! Feel better soon! Thanks.It's a long recovery process but at least I can get comfortable sleeping again and don't need the sling anymore.We're going on vacation Saturday to So Carolina then doing Turkey Day with Lori's son and his wife in No Carolina.So that should be fun.I'm hopeful there's gonna be a BOC 50th in N.Y.C. next year.

Sam mentioned that on the audio of the show. He also went up on stage and introduced the band. I think he tripped on his way up and Eric said something like, “Don’t f***ing kill yourself, Jesus Christ!” What a great gig. How I’d love one more…
