Popmatters review – really, you couldn’t ask for much more could you?
A final encore of “Big White Gate†caps off the evening with more of the bluesy vibe that gives Potter the impression of being seasoned beyond her years. The song starts off with a gospel-ish intro that features Potter on organ and Tournet on slide and sets the mood for catharsis. Potter calls to the heavens as she sings, “Saint Peter won’t you open up the big white gate/ Cause I heard about forgiveness and I hope it ain’t too late/ I ain’t no holy roller but you go tell your king/ That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me sing.â€
Music fans can count their blessings; it looks like Potter is just getting started here on Earth.

Sinking Man is the title……Man Overboard the opening line!
Thank you posting for this show! Take it all away>Treat me Right>Sweet Hands, blew me away. I always enjoy the work day a bit more with a GPTN soundtrack.
I spent 10 hours yesterday downloading the show in BT format. Listened to it at 1 am before I could sleep! I was at the show and I have to say that the recording doesn’t do it justice. I can’t stand the freakin’ talkers! Why don’t they shut up and enjoy the show? Still, I will listen to it over and over for the next couple of weeks! or most likely the next couple of months! Thanks Mojo for all your blog work. You rock! PQ.
“With a voice that oozes classic rock and blues—at times recalling artists such as………Janis Joplin ….”
Yes indeed.
Appreciate the mp3 download.
