Just got home from the show. I made sure to go early and see Train Wreck. I had no idea that Kyle Gass (of Tenacious D fame) was part of the band. I got to chat with him and the lead singer for a bit. I asked them my question about the name of the band and if it was named after the famous Humboldt foliage or after what was suggested here, that they sound like a train wreck and the lead singer chimed in "Both!" and went on to tell of a time when they played Arcata by the University of Humboldt that people were throwing fist sized nugs on stage to them...The cover tunes they played at our show were Rocker by Thin Lizzy and Footloose...

The Supersuckers were great, but played a shortened set. I got to talk with Eddie Spaghetti for a bit and he signed some records I bought. I found out that they occassionally do a Thin Lizzy tribute show where they dress up as Phil Lynott and the gang and play the full Live and Dangerous album. They also debuted a new song, at least that is what they said...:wink:

The Rev. was much better than the last time I saw them. Jim Heath's voice sounded a lot better, so maybe that is why. Also, they changed their set, which was pretty much the same for the 3 previous shows, so I was pretty happy about that.
