I hope a 14 hour turn around time isn't to long to wait. Out of a half dozen this was hands down the best City on the Make show I've seen. Granted, I can't speak for the shows in 2006 but this band only continues to get tighter and tighter. When you come out you can expect to never be bored or see the same thing twice and in my opinion that's going to keep the people coming out. Thank you to the 400 Bar for being cool with the recording of this show and to Ron for the stellar mix. All 3 sets sounded great. Be sure to check out Dragons Power Up and The Tender Sweaters as well.
