NOTES:

All I knew of this band was their existence, and their big hit "Incense and Peppermints". When I told my Dad they were playing this festival, his reaction was basically "WTF?? They're still around??" and he and some friends told me not to miss them, which I had no plans of doing anyway. After a long delayed soundcheck (which I left the end of on this recording), the band finally started (and thanks to the festival, they didn't cut their set short either, they just extended the operating hours for another 45mins-1hr that night) and holy shit, for a group of guys that have to be in their late sixties or seventies, they rocked it. In fact the very last song they played, a new song which I have no idea the name of, sounded extremely good and very modern. I don't know if I was half expecting some sort of county fair act or performance but these guys stole the weekend for me. And based on some stories I heard from others at the festival about the band and their activities and "wild nights", these guys are far from being old geezers, they're fucking rockers. Another cool thing, which I missed because I was seeing other bands that night, is that some members of the band headed over the open barn (where Roland had a "petting zoo" of all their equipment/instruments set up to try out) and openly jammed with fans/festival goers there, pretty fucking cool. AND it was their 50th anniversary show, so celebrate!

I tried my best with the setlist, but any help is appreciated.
