50%

Yesterday marked the exact halfway point in our 64 day tour. We've been out here barely over a month, though it kind of fells like it's been years.

Anyway, we played at a biker bar. Aside from a few "tips" (wink, wink; nudge, nudge!), the audience was pretty lukewarm. But the beer they paid us in was cold, so they had that going for them. Anyway, here are our bootlegs, completely free of audience interference!

Summertime Roll - This is the version we played first, while our rhythm section was still relatively sober.
It's a Good Thing - Don't bother listening, it took us until adventures to get our sound issues ironed out.
Total Eclipse of the Heart - Seriously, you're just wasting your time clicking that link. Skip on to Adventures!
The Adventures of Cristobal Pt. 2 - There ya' go!
Fat Kid Emo Pants - If I know one thing, it's that grizzled old bikers in Kaiser helmets love being called fat kids!
Happiness - We were going to do this one before Fat Kid, but the hot girls we wanted to dedicate it to had stepped out for a smoke.
"smoke" break
If I Gave You a Guitar - Some soothing Geneius music to ease us into our second set.
Bean and Joe - Dave demanded chelsea hotel. This was played instead?
thE32nd - (6)
Karate - We're not Jackie Chan from that movie where he teamed up with Sammo Hung and Biao Yuen either, just the one where he was his own twin.
I Am the Greatest - Ah, Boomerang looping pedal. How much ass can you kick?
Carpedium - I think you can consider this day seized.

Lessons learned - The computer is less prone to attempt to seize control of the band when we make it louder.
Old bikers really don't like being called fat kids.
Tire irons hurt.
