Really a so-so start to this New Year's run.

On one hand, everything was well played. Roggae, Heavy Things, What Things Seem, Twenty Years Later...all above average renditions that laid down a heavier than expected energy.

On the other hand: Sample, Bitch, Roggae, Heavy Things, Mist, Julius, Farmhouse, Velvet Sea, Possum, Cavern, Bowie, Loving Cup...what, is this 1999 again?

All around, far from the best or the worst. Roses, Mound and What's the Use were nice rarities. The Seven Below -> What's the Use pairing was probably the highlight.

But, much like 12/28/09, this show was painfully standard and way too mellow for a NYE run, especially after the wild ride that 2010 has been.
