| Trio's Tavern July 12th, 2008 Williamstown, New Jersey |


















| The band hadn't been to Joe Trio's Tavern in a couple of months, and were glad to get back out to our hometown pub. For those who have never been to Trio's, they have a pretty spacious outside bar which is quite popular. Our job was to make the inside just as popular. From the look of the photos below, we think we succeeded on that front... Setlist for the night: Vertigo, Learning to Fly, Long Way Down, Gimme Shelter, Banditos, Message in a Bottle, Two Tickets to Paradise, Running Down A Dream, American Pie, Hate to Say I Told You So, Breakup Song, Steady As She Goes, White Wedding, Jenny, Brown Eyed Girl, No Surrender, Just What I Needed, Kryptonite, The Reason Beverly Hills, Inside Out, What I Got, Own Worst Enemy, Bang a Gong, Brown Sugar, Who Says You Can’t Go Home, When I Saw Her Standing There, Rockin’ in the Free World, Houses of the Holy, End of the World, Heart of Gold, Peaceful Easy Feeling, One, Bobby MacGhee. |
| Tom Carey |
| TC was at his best with the cordless on this Saturday night. He worked the room like a seasoned veteran, snuggeling up with Maureen and Kayla upper left, with Yvonne and Patty above. How about that Patty Baron (upper right)? She left the house with a smooth rendition of Bobby MacGhee that had those inside raising the roof! |
| John Russell |
| The 'reverand of reverb' had a solid night. One of JR's gifts is his ability to try anything asked of him, and is completely comfortable bending any song into a new direction- seemlessly. Lately he has been playing harmonica, guitar, and singing on Deck Band nights. Neil Young's Heart of Gold gets the full catalog of JR's abilities. Of course, all this work occassionally causes his pinky to fly out of the socket. All the better for nailing those tough B-Minors. |
| Kevin Murphy |
| What's that you say, you want to hear some "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong"? Murph is your man! His powering low end has been well complimented with a lighter side of play as of late. Makes for a nice 'ying-yang' feel to songs. For those that don't know, sister Karen is the official Deck photographer. That is Murph's sister-in-law downing tequilia with TC. On this night, the tequilia stayed down and didn't prematurely exit via the nostrils. |
| Chris White |
| Whitey is that silly looking fellow in the rear of the band making a racket. Lately his has grown quite fond of singing with his eyes closed, a technique he picked up from David Archuletta from American Idol. On this night he debuted Hoobastank's "The Reason". From the look on Chipper's face, it probabaly made others want to close their ears. He'll keep working. From the look of this handsome couple, maybe the song helped generate some sweet love later on... |
| Good-bye |
