Great BÖC gig saturday night.  Predictable setlist, but the
performance and sound were excellent.

The only surpirse was GAOL, which really rocked.  CotHM tunes
played were Pocket and TOGR, which really kicked ass.  Seems
like the 2 newer members have a lot more fun doing the tunes they
had a hand in creating.

Nostalgia fans might have liked the encore.  Buck and EB came out
with inexpensive Epiphone SG guitars, so I was expecting some
variation on the 'crossed guitars' abuse from the old days.  I figured
maybe they were resurrecting BTBW for a few gigs, but then they
ripped into ME262, which indeed included the guitar duel bet. EB
and BD.

Overall a great show.  The material was old hat, for the most part,
but the band really seemed to be having a good time up there.  The
sound was absoluteley the best in years, and finally, BD was loud
enough!  Bummer that we didn't get Flaming Telepaths or Teen
Archer, though.

Allen played guitar almost all night--a '52 Tele Reissue.  He soloed
in Harvest Moon and TCtLDoM, and did pretty well with it.  Got a
nice sound out of that Tele.

Great to see Mike again, and thanks for the tickets.

No Bolts of UNgodly Vision, though.  Dude, you missed a great
show.

songs):
