Recording notes:
Recording was a dream compared to the night before at Billy Talent and Weezer. Lots of room to move around in case there were was chatter around me. Heck, you could even get a beer with no lineup while watching Blackie and The Rodeo Kings! I feel the recording came out great.

Show notes:
I'll put it out there right now, I don't even know if I've heard a Blackie and The Rodeo Kings tune before. My cousin told me they were worthy and I just never got around to listening to them.

I decided to check out their set based on the fact that Daniel Lanois was showing up for the gig as well. What a treat! I got spoiled as they played quite a few Daniel Lanois tunes. I wasn't familiar with Suzie Vinnick but she played a few tunes with them as well.

It was a great night for a show and Blackie and The Rodeo Kings put on one for the ages. I will be checking out their discography in the future.
