The second night of Boise had a line down the alleyway
waiting to get inside the small Knitting Factory. After the first night people showed up the
second night bringing their friends and wanting more.
The show opened with Song
In My Head the title track off the newest album. This was the same opener as the first night
of the Winter Carnival Tour, but it always seems to get the vibe going inside
of the venue. Then they busted out first
time played on Winter Carnival the original Lost. I thought after there was a slight Johnny Cash tease other thought it was a
Boo Boo’s Picnic tease. Regardless of the tease it ended up bring the
first MLT of tour. Kyle shining in Boise played a short Daft
Punk’s Get Lucky tease in the middle
of the jam then came back around the jam to finish MLT. The jam in MLT was such
a building jam that captured the crowd.
It kept building and building until finally coming back into MLT. The band was feeling the energy from the
crowd in this intimate venue. They
slowed the pace down with a cover of Honkey Tonk Heroes by Billy Joe Shaver
as Billy said but also co-written and made famous by Waylon Jennings. The band then played Sometimes a River and it seemed as though the whole venue was
singing along. The fans have grown to
love this song. The band members were
all smiles as they started Sittin On Top
Of The World. They hilariously
played a couple bars of My Sharona and once again had the crowd laughing. This flowed right back into finish Sittin.’
The band finally then played the whole version of Let’s Go Outside. They
played the slow part they recorded on the album.
Second set started with a huge DIRK! They jam kept the same flow as the slow part
from Let’s Go Outside. They then played Gimme the Love. It was great and Kang really played the jam
well and his solo carried around the Factory.
The beautiful jam of Gimme the
Love went perfectly into Sweet
Melinda. Keith crushed it. So glad that played it this tour and it fit
so perfectly into the set. The new song Beautiful about Kang’s wife was the next
song. It was fitting since this section
of the show continued to be so beautiful and that was the best way to describe
it. The Beautifulness continued to finish
this set in Boise with Lands End>Glory
Chords and continued to finish set with an astounding Restless Wind. The crowd
sang along loud and proud to be a part of this special experience.
They encored with Steve Miller’s The Joker and the fans
continued to sing. SCI sing along night
in Boise! The fans are ready for more in Reno for the final 2 nights of this 8 night run.
