I made the six hour drive out to Kansas City last Sunday by myself. My friend Ryan was already down in the area staying at his sister Sally's house. The three of us made the short journey from suburban Lenexa, KS to Lawrence. We ate dinner at Quinton's where I had a BLT and we watched the Grammy Awards. It was sad to see the turnout before the show started but when moe. started the venue filled up for the most part though far from sold out.
St. Auggie was a fairly standard start but things improved when they dropped the rare lylelovit. I really like One Life and this was the best version I've ever heard. They should have used that song for the new album. Moth > Shoot First > Moth was a unique sandwich. The segue from Shoot First back into Moth was impressive. Chuck clearly teased Timmy Tucker at one point during the jam. BIBH > HHH was a well executed segue.
McBain always brings energy but there was little to write home about this rendition. I am not a fan of the newly reworked The Bones of Lazarus. Haze > Buster > Haze was clearly the highlight of the set, perhaps the show. NCD > Wormwood > OK was a standard way to end the set. Flo, Suck A Lemon, Cornflake Girl was an above average encore.
After the show I decided to drive home to avoid the snow storm that hit the KC area on Monday morning. On the way home I hit some bad weather around Des Moines. This was an enjoyable experience but it seemed perhaps they were tired from the weekend in Colorado.
