YUP. You can bet your ass I'm gonna be there, too. Taste of MN is kind of a blast, anyway, but with Al there? Hoo boy!

Still undecided whether I'll go. What sorts of material does Jardine tend to do these days? (If it's PT Cruiser, I'm leaving!)

I think on Eric's site is a setlist from this year. I guess that's what it will look like.
He tours also with Dean Torrence and David Marks, don't know if he will play stuff from those concerts on his solo-date....

Old Rake and Luther, were you there?

I was, yeah! It was a really good show. Apart from a REALLY REALLY rough start on "California Girls," which was the lead-off song (which got chuckled through), it was a top-notch show. Really low-key. Al isn't a big flashy frontman like Mike -- he just plays the songs, chit-chats amiably with the crowd, tells stories, and sings his ass off.

He's got a good band with the great Ed Carter and Billy Hinsche, and everybody sings great. Conclusion: not as technically good as Brian's band, but way more fun and soulful than Mike's.

He did the standard hits and added California Saga, and PT Cruiser to the set.
