Saw the setlist, looks like Mansfield got the first Barstool Blues since 2014. Nice breakout for sure.
The first time I saw Neil was in Mansfield, back when it was called Great Woods, on a rainy Friday night in 1989.
A great show last night, Neil and the Horse delivered another fine show. The Barstool Blues was the icing on the cake of a beautiful evening at Great Woods. A great tune played well. Can't wait for tonight in Bridgeport. I would like to thank Neil for the ticket resale program. I bought a ticket at 3 AM for tonight's show for face value, the same amount that I would have paid the first day of sale. I highly recommend you find a way to catch this tour if you can.
Agree that everyone should see this iteration of the show if they can -- magic and electric.
I saw them in Queens on 14th and it was epic. Sound problems but they overcame.
Strongly suspect the critic who said they had a bad night on 15th is the one who was off. I saw no disconnect within the band. Totally to the contrary. They were one.
One aspect of the show the Variety reviewer cited was the more deliberate pace of the songs, which they did not enjoy. Reports all around are that tempos are slower. For me this is a feature, not a bug. It’s easy to feel the music when the notes are allowed to linger just a bit more.
BPMs are usually dependent on the drummer; if you listen back to the Toast-era shows you’ll hear a slowed-down effect there too, at times. I read that Ralph was having back trouble at the time. These things do flare up, especially on colder or rainier nights, which that first night in Queens was, by all accounts.
But the real issue that particular night was the sound system problem, which can really throw off both band and audience, you see it all the time. Overall it sounds like the tour is going great, with classic jams being added to the setlist every day. It’s all good!
A great show in Mansfield. I reviewed it for The Arts Fuse out of Boston
