Matt was on guitar:

Kenny Harris on bass:

Etienne Lytle on keyboards, who was also part of Steve Cole’s band five weeks earlier:

…and Carl Anderson on drums:

The show was engineered by Neal Newman:

We begin with Matt Marshak:

Kenny Harris:

“You’ve Just Been Had” vocal:

Etienne Lytle:

Carl Anderson, during his “Sanibel” solo:

C-Man’s “Funkology” solo:

The blur was intentional.  I wanted to show the rapid movement involved in Carl’s drumming.

Matt & Kenny performing back-to-back on “I Will Be with You”:

Matt & Kenny’s “Feelin’ It” vocal break:

Matt’s “I’m On Fire” vocal:

I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present than the two hours of music I saw on Saturday night.  Thanks to Matt, Kenny, Etienne, Carl, Anastasia, Neal, Dale, and to Steve Butler.
