I like to see one show over the holidays every year. The Disco Biscuits have been playing well as of late. Their NYE run started in New York and featured a 2020 January run at Chicago's Riviera Theatre. There was a dusting of winter snow on the trees as I made the commute into the city. I parked near my sister's apartment and visited with my nephew for a while. Then I walked to Steve's place to watch the Buffalo Bills vs. Houston Texans wildcard game before taking the train to Uptown. I saw some familiar faces from the Umphrey's crowd at this show.
The 7-11 triple sandwich was the highlight of the first set. Little Betty Boop is a tune from the album I had in college that was my first exposure to The Disco Biscuits. Vasillios to open set 2 was another track from that album that I knew. The Tractorbeam jam in set 2 was the highlight of the show for me. Magner was on point with his keyboard work. The energy was there all night long. I'm glad I made the trek into Chicago for this performance. After the show I stopped at White Castle in Bowlingbrook.
