Set review:
Stage headliner Spoon played a really nice set, augmented by horn playing members of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band on a few of their songs, such as “The Underdog”. The band itself is a pretty tight knit unit, playing very well together live. Drummer Jim Eno was especially articulate in defining many of the songs structures with his muscular style. Britt Daniel sang and played guitar throughout the set, which generally consisted of songs from their last two CDs but also touched on older material as well. They did well enough that the crowd called them back for a three-song encore.
