A great review of everything except the show itself.

To the Concert People: When that song ended and all the bugs were flying around in the stage lights like it was planned and I was thinking Look at all the pretty flying things but then realized they were bugs and then they attacked the stage and one flew into the guitar girl’s face and she screamed, That was AWESOME!

2 Saygracenow July 13, 2009 at 7:04 am: Incredible set list.
3 NolaMar July 13, 2009 at 9:11 am: Wow, that’s some jam-packed set list!!
4 NolaMar July 13, 2009 at 9:11 am: I hope they do White Rabbit when they come back here in September.
5 grace1231 July 13, 2009 at 11:22 am: Great show as always. Good to hear tunes they haven’t played live around here in a while. Can’t wait until the new album arrives. Hopefully GPN will release the show on Blu-Ray too.

To the 50+- year olds in front of us (and you know who you are): Chit-chat and talk on your cell phones before or after the show and dance in your own space and don’t disrespect other people’s space. You made some of the teenagers around us look more mature than you.
6 JackieinCT July 13, 2009 at 3:00 pm: Ouch! I hope your not talking about the Posse because they’ve always been gracious to me and others at all the shows I’ve been to. I guess the excitement of seeing GPN put some enthusiasts over the edge!?
7 tekawitha July 13, 2009 at 4:33 pm: Still re-living the show – so many aspects were wonderful. Even the rain held off until “Water!”
Think that lots of folks stood so the could see the stage. You could close your eyes and simply let the music wash over you but, hey, most of us enjoy seeing the band play, too.
Good seeing the posse, too.
8 tekawitha July 13, 2009 at 4:39 pm: Nancy – your photos are wonderful – wish the “Free Press” could have used some of your pix.
9 Kired July 13, 2009 at 5:03 pm: All the Posse I could see were so rapt with attention, it was if they were under a spell.
10 ak151 July 13, 2009 at 6:51 pm: And Derek had the time of his life getting back stage after the show!!
Grinning from ear-to-ear at Nectar’s after! Twitter gave us hint why the NOC’s didnt make Nectar’s……..they flew out to LA today to work on the CD!!

Excellent Posse weekend…hope I dont have to wait till New Years to do this again!!
11 owllover July 14, 2009 at 10:25 am: I encountered some of them TALKERS at the Buddy Guy show. bleeeeeeeeccccchhh!!!

LOVED THE SHOW!! IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! my face is in constant spazm from smiling for so long.

I’m sorry to the little girl in front of me..I know I accidentally whacked her a few times when I’d lose it during a song and start dancing!! it was a dangerous place to be and she was a trooper.

love to all, posse and GPN lovers!!
12 owllover July 14, 2009 at 10:33 am: P.S. we missed you Jackie!! we ran into JUSTIN a few times and I was sure thinking about you!!
13 Just Sayin' July 14, 2009 at 2:33 pm: Some serious titty popping there – Grace is really sexing it up these days!
14 grace1231 July 14, 2009 at 3:01 pm: No, it wasn’t the Posse that was causing a problem. I’ve never had an issue when I’ve encountered the Posse.
15 Saygracenow July 14, 2009 at 6:07 pm: ‘No, it wasn’t the Posse that was causing a problem. I’ve never had an issue when I’ve encountered the Posse.”

THANKS SO VERY MUCH FOR CLEARING THAT ONE UP.
16 toofarnorth July 14, 2009 at 8:37 pm: T’was a fantastic show – loved hearing some more of the new songs . . esp Colors with the full band after hearing Grace do it at her solo show Friday.
Now it’s going to be double hard to wait for the DVD and album !

Nancy, I’m so glad you got the shot of Grace with the Cabot Cow. The blogger made me chuckle but disagree w/ her comment – I thought the “flying cow” was great fun.
Glad you found other review Mojo . . liked Jennifer Hartswick a lot and could not remember her name.
17 JackieinCT July 14, 2009 at 10:37 pm: Grace – Thanks for clarifying. Posse peeps love all fans!
Owllover – Do you mean THE justin (no Jr.)? Man, that would have been so distracting for me! Eye candy! (no disrespect)
18 Tedheadone July 15, 2009 at 8:33 am: JCT, yes THE, and please, rein it in, he had to bring the wife and kids with him to protect him from you. That gets expensive!!
19 JackieinCT July 15, 2009 at 8:45 pm: Justin who?
20 JackieinCT July 15, 2009 at 9:14 pm: FYI – I understand there are 3 justin’s now? How confusing!
21 Danado July 16, 2009 at 9:41 pm: Grace looked beautiful and Scott was evil. Enjoyed the new song Colors very much. That song is very touching and beautiful to the ear.
