Old Crow Interlude

Old Crow at the Fillmore. Willy Watson's hair is all long. Ketch Secor is a madman. It was an amazing show. Impossible to overstate how rad it was. They're so intense and energetic and fun on stage. Stuff came out in their songs that hadn't come out before. Very cool.

Very, very cool.

edit:

This was a dumb post because it was late at night and I was equally excited and exhausted. I explained it much better to Patrick just now.
[15:36] tyedyedtruth: So dude.
[15:36] tyedyedtruth: I saw Old Crow at the Fillmore, right?
[15:36] tyedyedtruth: Holy shit dude.
[15:37] SquidgeeMoot: Good time?
[15:37] tyedyedtruth: It was an unspeakably good show.
[15:38] tyedyedtruth: Ketch Secor, the fiddler, had a layer of dust built up under the bridge of his fiddle.
[15:38] tyedyedtruth: Which is what had become of his rosin.
[15:38] tyedyedtruth: o_O
[15:39] SquidgeeMoot: ....
[15:39] SquidgeeMoot: Wh-shit.
[15:39] SquidgeeMoot: Shit.
[15:39] SquidgeeMoot: Wow.
[15:39] tyedyedtruth: It was totally insane.
[15:39] tyedyedtruth: They were all totally drenched in sweat.
[15:39] tyedyedtruth: I mean, especially Ketch and Willie.
[15:40] tyedyedtruth: Cause they do most of the singing and also a better part of the gallivanting on stage.
[15:40] tyedyedtruth: But there was this insane feedback loop of energy from the crowd and the band.
[15:41] tyedyedtruth: I mean, okay.
[15:41] tyedyedtruth: I've read in several places that their early and continued success has been in large part fueled by the extensive tour schedule and excellent live shows.
[15:41] tyedyedtruth: But I had no idea.
